RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

► Connect the hair dryer only to a correctly installed mains power socket providing electrical energy at the level detailed on the rating plate. ► Under no circumstances may the hair dryer be submerged in fl uids, or fl uids be permitted to enter the appliance housing. Do not expose the appliance to humidity and do not use it outdoors. Should liquids enter the housing, disconnect the appliance from the power source immediately and arrange for it to be repaired by a qualifi ed technician. ► Disconnect the hair dryer from the mains power socket if defective operation is apparent and before cleaning it. ► To disconnect it, pull only on the plug itself, not on the power cable. ► Do not wrap the power cable around the appliance and protect the cable from being damaged. ► Should the power cable of the appliance be damaged, to avoid potential risks it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his customer service or by a qualifi ed technician. ► Do not kink or crush the power cable and lay it in such a way as to prevent people from stepping on or tripping over it. ► Do not use extension cables. ► Never touch the hair dryer, the power cable or the plug with wet hands. ► Disconnect the hair dryer from the power source immediately after use. The appliance is completely free of electrical power only when you unplug it. ► You are not permitted to open or repair the housing of the hair dryer. Should you do so, appliance safety can no longer be as- sured and the warranty will become void. Arrange for the hair dryer to be serviced and repaired only by qualifi ed specialists.25

Never use the appliance near water, parti-cularly not near sinks, baths or other v essels. The proximity of water presents a risk, even when the appliance is switched off . After use, always disconnect the plug from the mains power socket. As additional protection, the installation of a faulty-current protection unit with an activation power rating of not more than 30 mA is recom- mended for the power circuit in the bathroom. Consult your electrician for advice. WARNING!

SHTK 2000 B1 Cooling level With the cooling level button 7 you can produce a cooler air fl ow with every combination of blower and heat levels. Ionisation function This hair dryer is equipped with an ionising function:When drying the hair using a hair dryer, the hair takes on a static charge and begins to “fl y”. The ionisation function ensures that this charging of the hair is neutralised and cancelled. The hair becomes soft, supple, shiny and easier to style. Drying and styling hair ■ For quick hair drying, we fi rst recommend using a high blower and heater setting for a short period. After slightly drying the hair, switch to a lower blower and heater level to shape the hair. ■ With the supplied styling jet 1 you can apply a dir ected airfl ow to shape and style your hair. Place the styling jet 1 on the front of the hair dryer such that it engages and is seated fi rmly into place. ■ If you want to dry your hair very gently, or use the dryer with so-called “air-dried perms”, attach the fi nger diff user 8. First remove the styling jet 1, if it is fi tted, and then attach the fi nger diff usor 8, such that it engages and is seated fi rmly into place. ■ Before you comb your hair out, allow it to cool so that the shaping and styling can retain its form. ■ For cooling the hair you can use the cooling level button 7

or level of the heat level switch 6. Cleaning RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ► Always remove the mains plug from the socket before you clean the appliance. ► Under no circumstances may you immerse the appliance in water or other liquids when cleaning it! ► After being cleaned, the hair dryer must be completely dry before using it again.
