TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND INJURY

away.

purpose.
18. When the hairdryer is used in the bathroom,
unplug it after use since the proximity of
water presents a hazard even when the
hairdryer is switched off.
19. For additional protection, the installation of a
residual current device (RCD) having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding
30 mA is advisable in the electrical circuit
supplying the bathroom.
Ask your installer for advice.

STYLING TIPS
After washing :
Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water.
Make use of the variable heat settings at different stages of the
styling to achieve maximum results.
Do not concentrate airow on any one area for an extended
period of time.
CONCENTRATOR NOZZLE
Attach the concentrator nozzle onto the barrel of your hairdryer
for directional blow drying, ideal for applying direct heat to
concentrated areas.
DIFFUSER
When using a diffuser, the hairdryer should be used on low
heat settings. Do not use at high temperatures as overheating
can cause damage to both the hairdryer and diffuser. Attach the
diffuser onto the barrel of your hairdryer and move through the
hair for volume.
REPAIRS
Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself. Repairs can
only be made by qualied service personnel with special
tools. Repairs by under qualied persons will invalidate the
guarantee, and may result in accident or injury. If the hairdryer
fails to work properly when purchased, return it to the retailer
from which it was purchased.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Always unplug the hairdryer before cleaning.
2. Do not immerse in water.
3. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the body of the hairdryer,
and dry with a clean cloth.
4. Store the appliance in a drawer or hang up away from dust
and moisture.
5. The hairdryer is tted with a detachable lter cover which
may be removed for cleaning. To remove the lter cover,
twist it anti-clockwise. Use a small brush to remove dust
and hair from the lter screen (wash in warm soapy water if
necessary). Ensure the lter cover is completely dry before
tting back onto the hairdryer. To ret the lter cover, align
in place and twist clockwise to lock into position.
It is recommended that this lter is removed regularly for
cleaning, and thereby allowing air to ow freely through the
motor and fan unit.
