Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions.
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when designing and
manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that
the product user also exercise care when using an
electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided
with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before
you remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do
not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
unless this cord has been checked and tested by your
electricity supplier or qualified technician.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the
voltage (A.C. only) marked on the underside of the
appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is
being used near children or infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
• Young children or infirm persons should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than
its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame,
electric element or in a heated oven. Do not place on
top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over
the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot
surface.
• Do not immerse in water.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by
unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using
tamperproof means as specified by S.A.A. (Standards
Association of Australia). Such appliances should
always be returned to the nearest Service Centre for
adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner; If damage is
suspected, return the appliance to the nearest Service
Centre for examination, repair or adjustment. As a
service to Customers, Service Centres will carry out a
free check on your appliance to ensure it is electrically
safe.
• For additional protection Sunbeam recommend the
use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping
current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying the power outlet in use.
• This hairdryer must not come into contact
with water or any other liquid.
• Always switch off your hairdryer at the
power outlet and remove the plug when not
in use.
• Do not wind the cord around the hairdryer
when not in use.
• Do not use or store your hairdryer near tubs,
basins, baths or other vessels which contain
water.
• When the hairdryer is used in a bathroom,
unplug it after use since the proximity of
water presents a hazard, even when the unit
is switched off.
