This appliance corresponds to accepted

technological standards with regards

to safety and to the German Appliance

Safety Law. As manufacturers, we nev-

ertheless regard it as our duty to famil-

iarise customers with the following

safety considerations.

General safety

• This appliance may be connected only

to a power socket carrying a voltage

and frequency matching the informa-

tion on the model rating plate.

• Do not pull the cable over sharp edges,

clamp it into place or allow it to hang

down. Keep the cable away from hot

and damp areas.

• Never try to remove the plug from the

socket by pulling on the lead.

• The connecting cable of this appliance

cannot be replaced. If the cord or the

plug is damaged or defect, the appli-

ance should be discarded.

• Before use check that the appliance

functions properly. The appliance

should not be used if:

– the connecting cable is damaged

– the appliance shows noticeable

damage

– the appliance has been dropped

• Never wind the mains cable around the

appliance.

• The connecting cable must not come

into contact with hot appliance parts

and should never run between the

straightening plates.

• Only insert the mains plug when the

appliance is switched off.

• The installation of a residual current

circuit breaker (RCD) with a rated trig-

ger current of less than 30 mA in the

domestic power supply provides addi-

tional protection. Seek advice from a

qualified electrician.

• Repairs to this appliance may only be

carried out by qualified service engi-

neers. Considerable danger may result

from improper repairs. If repairs

become necessary, please contact the

Customer Care Department or your

authorised dealer.

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 con-

cerning use of the appliance by a per-

son responsible for their safety.

Child safety

• Children are not aware of the hazards

of electrical appliances. Therefore close

supervision is necessary when the

appliance is used by children.

• Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

• Packaging material, e.g. plastic bags,

should not be accessible to children.

Safety instructions when operat-

ing the appliance

• The appliance must not come into con-

tact with flammable materials. It must

also not be used near flammable mate-

rials because the straightening plates

reach temperatures of approx. 200°C.
