appliance switched off or in stand-by to prevent water from coming out.
WARNING!
RISK OF SCALDING. During use, take care not to place the straightener too

DISPOSAL
The packaging of the appliance is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of it
in accordance with the environmental protection regulations.
Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates
that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end
of its useful life.
The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre
for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling
the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a
new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products
measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales
area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy.
Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the
decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and
environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the
environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that
the appliance consists of.

delivery, appliance repair or replacement is guaranteed free of charge, unless
one of the two solutions is disproportionate to the other. The buyer has the
obligation to notify an authorised Service Centre of the non-conformity within
two months from discovering the defect.

h. Accidental falling during use,
i. Use of non-original maintenance components or accessories,

The list above is purely indicative and not exhaustive and in any case, this
warranty shall not cover all circumstances that cannot be attributed to
manufacturing defects of the appliance.
In addition, the warranty does not cover any case of improper use of the
appliance and professional use.
All liability is disclaimed for any damage that may directly or indirectly be
caused to persons, property and pets as a result of failure to comply with all
the instructions provided in the “Instructions and Warnings Booklet” regarding
appliance installation, use and maintenance.
This is without prejudice to any contractual warranty claims against the
seller.
