Safety instructions

Take note of the correct voltage (220/230V AC).
- Never use the appliance in the bath, in the shower, above a water-filled washbasin or when your hands are wet. The appliance should also not be used in the vicinity of a bath, washbasin or any other container filled with water.
- Never immerse the appliance in water. The appliance must not come into contact with water even when it is being cleaned.
- Never place the appliance on a soft surface (cushion, cloth etc) when it is switched on.
- Ensure that the air inlet and outlets are not blocked during use.
- The appliance is provided with protection against overheating, so that it will be switched off in the event of an overload (for example if the air inlet or outlet are covered). If the appliance

is switched off in this during use, slide the switch to the 0 position and wait 5 minutes before switching it on again.

• Switch the appliance off if the drying process is interrupted for an extended period.

• Remove the plug from the socket:

• if a fault occurs during use;

• before cleaning the appliance;

• after every use.

• Do not pull on the cable when removing the plug from the socket.

• Do not wind the cable around the appliance.

• Do not use the appliance if:

• the cable is damaged;

• if the appliance is visibly damaged;

• if the appliance has been dropped.

• In order to prevent damage to the hair we recommend that the air inlet is not held too close to the hair.

• Avoid hazardous situations. Persons with motor disabilities should therefore not be allowed to use the appliance without supervision.
• Children do not appreciate the possible hazards of electrical equipment, so they should not be allowed to operate such equipment without supervision.
• Keep packaging material like plastic film out of the reach of children.
  An earth leakage circuit breaker with a nominal tripping voltage of 30mA at the fuse box offers additional protection. Obtain the advice of an electrician on this. Hazardous situations may also arise when the appliance is switched off. The plug must therefore be removed from the socket after use.
• It is not possible to replace the power cable. The appliance cannot be repaired in the event of damage or a fault in the cable. It must be properly disposed of in this event. In order to control risk, ask a manufacturer-approved service point for recommendations about inspection of the appliance.
• This appliance must not be used for purposes other than its intended use.

• Only specialists are allowed to do reparations. Improperly reparations can cause considerable danger!

• There is always risk of injury when using electrical appliances improperly!

Care program

Pushing the pink switch forward into the CARE position programs the dryer to style and dry your hair at "hair friendly" temperatures with either of the two positions of the main switch. Sliding the pink switch back to its previous position switches off the CARE program and the dryer will operate at full power.

CARE button

Pushing in the CARE button allows the hair to cool. Regardless of the switch position, the temperature of the air will be reduced as long as the CARE button is held in (useful for example when cooling off a curl or styled hair).
