Operation
Pre-heating the curlers
- Place the curlers over the heating tubes in
the heating unit. The positions for the
variously sized curlers are marked by
corresponding rings of different sizes. Make
sure that the curler with the heat indicator
dot is placed on the corresponding heating
tube (3).
■
Do not operate the heating unit unless
all the curlers are in place.
- Close the cover on the heating unit and
insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
Pre-heating starts as shown by the red
indicator light.
- One of the curlers features a heat ready
indicator dot which changes from red to
grey once the curler is ready for use.
- The curler temperature is now ideal for the
shaping of fine hair. For normal or thicker
hair, the curlers should be left in the
heating unit for about 5 more minutes.
- Once the curlers are pre-heated, switch the
unit off and take the curlers out, one by
one. Do not touch any part of the curler
other than its plastic rim.
- Do not place the hot curlers on heat-
sensitive surfaces.
- Remove the plug from the wall outlet
afterwards.
Using the curlers
- To facilitate individual hair styling, the
appliance offers different curler sizes, 20
mm, 23 mm and 26 mm diameter.
■
Important: do not allow the curlers to come
into contact with hair spray or other
chemical substances.
- The hair should be freshly washed, almost
dry and well combed through.
- Take a curler and open the large clamp.
Prepare a hair strand about 4 cm wide.
- While holding the strand under tension,
open the small clamp with the grip and
secure the tip of the strand. (see fig. I).
- Now the strand can be curled up to the
hairline around the curler.
- Secure the curler using the large clamp
(see fig. II).
- When styling fine hair, the curler should be
left in the hair for around 5 minutes, for
thicker hair 15 - 20 minutes are
recommended. The longer the curler
remains in place, the tighter the curls will
become.
Removing the curlers
- Once the curlers have cooled off, open both
clamps and remove each curler gently from
the hair by turning it.
- Allow the hair sufficient time to cool down
before combing or styling it.
