3- USE OF THE APPLIANCE IN A BATHROOM
(drip proof appliance)
This "IP21" appliance is designed for use in any room of the house, including those where there is a
risk of vertical drop of water (kitchen, bathroom, etc...). The electrical installation of the room, the
installation of the appliance and its use should, however, conform to current standards in your own
country.
4- TENSION
• The first time the appliance is used, check that the voltage of your installation and the voltage mar-
ked on the appliance identification plate correspond.
• It is compulsory that the plug used for your appliance is fitted with an earth pin. It is a class I
appliance.
5- SAFETY
• If the appliance should tip forwards or backwards, a safety device automatically cuts off the power.
Restore the appliance to a vertical position and it will start to function again.
• Blower part : In the event of abnormal overheating, a safety device shuts down the appliance and
then automatically restarts it once it has cooled. If the fault persists or gets worse, a thermal fuse
shuts the appliance down definitively and it must then be taken to an approved service centre.
