•
•
Plug the hairdryer only into correctly installed power sockets rated to 230 V and 50 Hz.
Never immerse the hairdryer in liquid or allow liquid to penetrate the appliance's casing. Do
not expose the appliance to moisture or use outdoors. Should liquid happen to penetrate the
appliance's casing, unplug the appliance immediately and have it repaired by a qualified
electrician.
•
Never use the hairdryer near water in bathtubs, showers, sinks or other containers.
Placing the appliance close to water is dangerous even when turned off. Unplug the applian-
ce after every use. For additional protection we recommend installing a residual current ope-
rated device with a rated trip current of no more than 30 mA in the bathroom circuit. Ask
your electrician for advice.
