between the hair and the heating plates
should be limited to a few seconds at a
time.
∙ Do not use the appliance on synthetic
hair-pieces or wigs, as the heat emitted
might cause damage to the synthetic
fibres.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fitted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull
the power cord, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance.
∙ To prevent damage to the power cord,
- do not bend or kink the cable,
especially where it leaves the housing,
- do not pull on the cord,
- do not coil the cord around the
appliance.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to touch hot
surfaces.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
- after use, and
- in case of any malfunction.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not operate the appliance when it is
stored on the hanging loop.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
Before using for the first time
The appliance and the heating plates
should be wiped clean with a slightly damp
cloth before use.
Locking mechanism
The appliance has a locking catch to save
space during storage and when travelling.
Before use, the catch must be disengaged
by pushing the locking button.
Operation
∙ The appliance should only be used on
dry or almost dry hair.
∙ Open the locking catch.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
∙ Use the slide switch to turn the
appliance on, selecting level 1 or 2.
Pre-heating starts as shown by the red
indicator light. The appliance is ready for
use after around 3 minutes.
∙ During the heating phase, the appliance
should be placed on a firm, heat-
resistant surface.
∙ 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 gently pull through the hair, starting
from the roots and working your way out
to the ends.
∙ 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.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket
after use.
