before use.
Temperature selection
To prevent the hair from being damaged,
always start with a low temperature setting,
e.g. 120-140°C for thin or sensitive hair, 160-
180°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. The indicator 'ON' appears
on the display.
- Use the temperature control buttons to
set the desired level, observing the above
instructions. The selected temperature is
indicated by a yellow light bar. While the
appliance is heating up, the bar will
extend upwards until the desired
temperature has been reached.
●
During the heating phase, the appliance
should be placed on a firm, heat-resistant
surface.
- Once the desired temperature level has
been reached, the light bar will stop
moving and the 'READY' indicator lights
up.
- 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.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket
after use.

solutions.
