WARNING! Make sure all cleaned parts are completely dry before reusing the appliance

Cleaning the appliance and accessories

Open the filter cap (1B), as indicated in figure 8.
Wipe the front and rear of the retina (1A) and the filter cap (1B) with a damp cloth.
Have the piece dried completely and put it back on.

Symbol NOTE: the more dust is present in the place where the hair dryer is used, the more often the filter must be cleaned.

STORAGE

WARNING! Risk of fire. Wait for the appliance to cool completely before storing it.

WARNING! DO NOT wrap the supply cord around the appliance.

DISPOSAL

Symbol 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.

ASSISTANCE AND WARRANTY

The appliance is guaranteed for a period of two years from the date of delivery. Evidence shall be taken as the date indicated on the receipt/invoice (provided it is legible), unless the buyer can prove that the delivery occurred later.

In the event of a defect in the product which existed prior to the date 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.

The warranty does not cover any part that may be defective due to:

a. transport damage or accidental drops,
b. incorrect installation or an inadequate electrical system,
c. repairs or alterations made by unauthorised personnel,
d. poor or incorrect maintenance and cleaning,
e. product and/or product parts subject to wear and/or consumables, including the reduction in battery usage time due to the use or time, if present,
f. failure to comply with the operating instructions and/or negligent or careless use.
g. Twisted or bent power cord due to negligence or pulled,
h. Presence of hair in the fan,
i. Failure to clean the cold air inlet filter causing the motor to overheat,
j. Accidental falling during use,
k. Obstruction at the cold air inlet and hot air outlet (front and rear grid),
l. Use of non-original maintenance components or accessories,
m. Use of chemical products to clean the appliance,
n. Use of hairspray or other sprays during use

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.
