Read the instruction leaflet and safety
instructions carefully before use.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• For your safety, this appliance complies with the appli-
cable standards and regulations (Low Voltage Directive,
Electromagnetic Compatibility, Environmental…).
• The appliance’s accessories become very hot during
use. Avoid contact with the skin. Make sure that the
supply cord never comes into contact with the hot parts
of the appliance.
• The appliance must be unplugged:
- before cleaning and maintenance procedures.
- if it is not working correctly
- as soon as you have finished using it
- if you leave the room, even momentarily.
• Check that the voltage of your electricity supply
matches the voltage of your appliance. Any error when
connecting the appliance can cause irreparable harm, not
covered by the guarantee.
• As an additional safety measure, we recommend the
installation of a residual current difference device in the
electrical circuit supplying the bathroom, acting at not
more than 30 mA. Ask your installer for advice.
• Caution: Never use the appliance with wet hands or
near baths, basins or other recipients containing water.
• When using the appliance in the bathroom, unplug it
after use as the presence of water nearby may pose a
danger even when the appliance is turned off.
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is
used on or in the presence of children or disabled people.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a person
with similar qualifications, to avoid all danger.
• Stop using your appliance and contact an Authorised
Service Centre if:
- your appliance has fallen
- it does not work correctly.
• If your appliance is not working correctly, see
"Troubleshooting", or contact our Customer Helpdesk
or your dealer.
• Do not leave within the reach of children.
• Do not use if the cord is damaged.
• Do not immerse or put under running water, even for
cleaning purposes.
• Do not hold with damp hands.
• Do not hold the appliance by the casing, which is hot,
but by the handle.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord, rather pull out
by the plug.
• Do not use an electrical extension lead.
• Do not clean with abrasive or corrosive products.
• Do not use at temperatures below 0°C and above 35°C.
GUARANTEE
Your appliance is designed for use in the home only. It
should not be used for professional purposes. The gua-
rantee becomes null and void in the case of improper
usage.
2. GETTING STARTED
Attaching and removing accessories:
1. Slot the required accessory into
the handle.
2. Turn the locking ring on the
handle to lock the accessory in
place.
All the accessories are attached in
the same way.
To remove an accessory, simply follow the above pro-
cedure in reverse order.
Plugging in your hair styler:
• When you have attached an
accessory to the handle, place the
appliance in a stable position on its
rest, on a flat surface.
• Plug it in and set the On/Off
switch to On (position 1).
The 'Power on' light will come
on and the accessory will begin
to heat up.
• Wait a few minutes to allow your
hair styler to reach its working
temperature
(2-4 min. for the "iron" accessories;
13 min. for the crimping plates).
When removing accessories, always
hold them by the plastic part – the
metal parts will be very hot.
