To prevent the risk of fire or injury:
•The appliance components can become quite hot during operation. Therefore only touch the handle and the buttons.
•Always only use the appliance with attachments, never on its own, as the connector for the acces- sories becomes hot during operation.
•Allow the appliance to cool down before attaching or detaching accessories.
•Only use the enclosed original accessories, as they have been optimized to work with this appli- ance. Other parts are possibly not adequately safe.
•Keep the openings for air inlet and outlet vacant for unimpaired air flow. Otherwise the appliance may overheat.
•Be careful with hair spray, water atomizers etc. On the one hand the air flow may blow these substances directly into your eyes. On the other hand these substances must not enter the appliance – as they may be inflammable, aggressive or conductive.
•Do not allow individuals (including children) to use the appliance whose physical, sensorial or mental abilities or lack of experience and know- ledge hinder their safe usage of it if they have not previously been supervised or instructed in its correct usage.
•Tell children about the appliance and its potenti- al dangers so that they do not play with it.
