Important

Please read the safety instructions before using this hair styler. The safety instructions explained here are to help you use this hair styler safely and correctly, and also to prevent you from injuring yourself or others.

WARNING: Not following the instructions below may cause fire, burns, explosion, short circuiting or electric shock.

Electrical Conditions

WARNING: This symbol on the hair styler means "Do not use this hair styler near water". Do not use this hair styler near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.

- Always switch off the hair styler ("0" position) after use and before unplugging it from the power socket. Unplug it from the power socket when not in use. Always grasp the plug while unplugging. Failure to do so may lead to fire and/or an accident.

- Before connecting the hair styler, check that the voltage of the hair styler corresponds to the local voltage.

- Do not cut, damage or modify the cord. Do not pull, twist or bend the cord with unnecessary force. Do not place heavy objects on the cord or allow it to get pinched in between objects. Do not wrap the cord around the hair styler as it may cause fire and/or electric shock. If the cord is damaged or becomes hot, stop using it immediately.

- When the hair styler is used in a bathroom, unplug it after use since the proximity of water presents a hazard even when the hair styler is switched off.

- For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice.

●Using the Hair Styler

• Stop using it immediately if the hair styler does not produce air constantly and the cord or plug is damaged or becomes hot, or the plug fits loosely in the outlet.
• Never insert foreign objects into either the air inlet or outlet.
• Do not use the hair styler near inflammable material such as benzine, paint thinner, sprays, etc.
• Do not use the hair styler while your hands are wet.
• Do not use or place the hair styler in an area with high humidity. Do not submerge the hair styler in water.

- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

● Repairing the Hair Styler

• Only qualified personnel should repair or disassemble the hair styler.
• If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• When the hair styler is blowing hot air, occasionally it may turn off or sparks may be seen. In such cases, dust may have accumulated at the air inlet and/or the air outlet. Also, the air inlet may be being blocked by your hair, hands, etc. (This phenomenon is the result of the hair styler's thermal switch. It is a protective device. The sparks do not pose a danger in and/or themselves.) Slide the main switch to the "0" position and remove the dust if dust has accumulated, or if air inlet was blocked by your hair or hand, cool down the hair styler for approximately 5 minutes before using it again.

CAUTION

• Do not put your hands on the air outlets or use them if they are damaged. You may get burned.
• Only use the hair styler for drying and styling human hair. Do not use it for children.
• Do not use the hair styler if it is damaged.
• Do not touch the attachments as they become hot during and after use.
  • Make sure hair does not get sucked into the air inlets.
• Do not use thinner, benzine or any other solvent to clean the hair styler.

- This hair styler is equipped with an automatic overheating protective device. If the hair styler overheats, it will be turned off. Switch off the hair styler and unplug it from the power socket. Allow it to cool down for approximately 5 minutes before using it again. Check that no dust, hair etc. is in the air inlets and outlets before switching it on again.
