Safety Precautions (To be strictly observed)
CAUTION
Usage and cleaning
Restrictions on Use
󱾀Do not manually rotate the heater unit.
Do not manually rotate the heater unit regardless of whether it is in operation or at rest.
Malfunction or breakdown of the product may result. For example, the heater unit may become
unable to rotate properly.
To shift the heater unit in operation to a desired position and keep the operation going, use the
START/STOP button to rotate the heater unit as instructed in “Heater Unit Movement Patterns”
(page 19).
To finish the operation halfway through and return the heater unit to the home position, use the
RESET button to do so as instructed in “Operation Steps” (page 21).
󱾀Keep an eye on the customer’s physical condition.
While the heater is in operation, the customer’s head is being warmed. If the customer
becomes ill or feels sick, stop using the product.
Be extra careful if the customer is prone to feel dizzy, has high blood pressure, or is under a
doctor’s care and has concerns about their physical condition.
󱾀Use polyethylene wrap or a polyethylene cap.
Before operation in heat mode, be sure to cover the part of the hair to be heated with some
polyethylene wrap or a polyethylene cap to prevent the hair from drying unevenly and to
ensure an even finish. Since polyethylene transmits infrared rays, the infrared thermal sensor
can measure the actual temperature of the hair in the 540° mode, enabling precise temperature
control.
If you use non-polyethylene wrap, use the 360° or 120° mode. Otherwise, an error code (“E0” or
“E1”) may appear on the display panel. If an error code appears, deal with it as instructed in
“Error Codes” (pages 14–15).
󱾀Immediately wipe off any chemical stains.
If the product is stained with chemicals, such as a hair coloring agent, immediately wipe it off
with a soft cloth. Otherwise, the affected surface may deteriorate, discolor, or deform.
Also, if the floor is stained with chemicals, immediately wipe it off.
󱾀Do not apply impact to the heater unit.
A large impact to the heater unit may damage the heater. Handle the product with care.
󱾀Use the product for hairdressing and beauty care purposes only.
This hair processor is for professional use at hair and beauty salons.
Only qualified hair stylists and beauticians may use it.

* In 540° mode, the infrared thermal sensor measures the temperature of the customer’s hair, and the heater
controls its output to keep the hair temperature at the selected level.
* In 360° and 120° modes, the heater turns on/off at certain fixed timings for the selected temperature level based
on the preset program. So, the actual hair temperature may deviate slightly from the selected level depending on
the usage environment.
* In dry modes, the heater will turn on/off at certain fixed timings for the selected temperature level based on the
preset program. So, hair dried at the same temperature level may vary in dryness depending on the usage
environment.

in place, the infrared thermal sensor measures the
temperature of the customer’s head and the heater
output is controlled to maintain the set temperature. If
the customer’s head becomes significantly out of place
during operation and the measured temperatures
deviate significantly from the set temperature, the
infrared thermal sensor will detect the deviation, and
an alarm will sound to warn of the misalignment.
The status indicator will blink, and the display panel
will show the code “ ” and the current remaining
time alternately.
If the alarm sounds, have the customer bring their
head back to the right position and then resume
operation as instructed in “How to deal with errors:”
below. Do not leave the misalignment as it is. The
product will be unable to perform temperature control
properly.
How to deal with errors:
If the error code “ ” or “ ” appears, follow the steps below to deal with it.
Press the START/STOP button to stop the operation of the product. Bring the customer’s head to the right
position. Then press the START/STOP button again to resume the operation of the product.
If the error code remains on display even after the head is returned to the right position, turn off the
power switch, disconnect the power plug, and contact the nearest dealer or Takara Belmont.
If the customer’s head is out of place from the start of
operation, the alarm will sound sometime after the
start of operation.
The status indicator will blink, and the display panel
will show the code “ ” and the current remaining
time alternately.
