Please read the safety instructions before using this hair dryer. The safety 
instructions explained here help you to use this hair dryer 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.

1.  Always switch off the hair dryer (“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.

2.  Before connecting the hair dryer, check that the voltage of the hair 

dryer corresponds to the local voltage.

the cord with unnecessary force. Do not place heavy objects on the

cord around the hair dryer as it may cause fire and/or electric shock. 
If the cord is damaged or becomes hot, stop using it immediately.

4.  When the hair dryer is used in a shower room, unplug it after use 

since the proximity of water presents a hazard even when the hair 
dryer is switched off.

(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.
