Temperature selection
To prevent the hair from being damaged,
always start with a low temperature setting,
e.g. 120 - about 150°C for thin or sensitive
hair, 160 - about 190°C for thicker hair. 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.
Operation
- The appliance should only be used on
dry or almost dry hair.
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
- Use the On/Off switch to turn the
appliance on.
- Use the temperature control to set the
desired level, observing the above
instructions. Pre-heating starts as shown
by the red indicator light.
●
During the heating phase, the appliance
should be placed on a firm, heat-resistant
surface.
- Once the desired temperature has been
reached, the indicator light changes to
green.
- 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, allowing
the heat to take effect slightly longer, or
dividing the hair into smaller strands.
- Switch off after use, remove the plug
from the wall socket, place the appliance
on a heat-resistant surface and allow it to
cool down.
