before use.

Operation

- The appliance should only be used on dry
or almost dry hair.
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
- Use the temperature control to set the
desired temperature level and turn the
appliance on using the On/Off switch. The
heating-up process starts and is shown by
the red indicator light. The green indicator
light will flash until the selected
temperature has been reached.
■
During the heating phase, the appliance
should be left on a firm, heat-resistant
surface.
- Once the desired temperature has been
reached, the green indicator light remains
constant.
- Take each strand of hair as close as
possible to the roots and place it between
the heating plates.
- Bring the two arms together on the hair,
and wait a moment for the shaping process
to take effect.
- Open the arms.
- Check whether the result is as desired.
- If you wish the shaping to be more
pronounced, repeat the process and allow
the heat to take effect for a slightly longer
period.
- Always shape the hair starting from the
roots and working your way out to the ends.
- The appliance will switch off automatically
after 60 minutes.
- Switch off the appliance and remove the
plug from the wall socket after use.

Temperature selection

To prevent the hair from being damaged,
always start with a low temperature setting. If
the hair can be straightened at that setting in
two cycles, no further increase in temperature
is necessary, as the optimum setting has
already been reached.
