Important safety instructions
● Caution: do not use the
appliance in the vicinity of a
bath, shower or swimmingpool, over a washbasin filled
with water or near any other receptacle
containing water.
Protect the appliance from moisture and
splashing water and do not operate it
with wet hands.
● In the vicinity of any water source, there
is a risk even when the appliance is
switched off. Therefore, always remove
the plug from the wall socket after use,
especially if the appliance is being used in
a bathroom.
Additional protection is available by
fitting an earth-leakage circuit-breaker
with a rated tripping current not
exceeding 30mA into your bathroom

electrician.
● The heating plates operate at very high
temperatures. Caution: skin contact with
these parts may cause burns. Do not
touch any part of the appliance except
the ribbed grip area.
● Do not use the appliance on synthetic
hair-pieces or wigs, as the heat emitted
might cause damage to the synthetic
fibres.
● Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any attachments should
be checked thoroughly for any defects. If
the appliance, for instance, has been
dropped onto a hard surface, it must no
longer be used: even invisible damage
may have adverse effects on its
operational safety.
● The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
