release millions of ions effectively on to your hair. These satin
ions envelop every single hair and quickly restore the moisture
balance of your hair by attracting moisture particles from the air
while straightening. The display now shows «satin ions» [C] and
a slight crackling noise can be heard.
Getting started
• Connect the appliance to an electrical outlet and push the
«on/off» button (6) for 1 second to turn it on.
• During heat-up, the display turns red. The appliance is
delivered with a default temperature setting of 160 °C. The
thermometer symbol is flashing as long as the displayed
temperature is not reached. [A]
• After approx. 30 seconds, the display turns green indicating
that the minimum styling temperature is reached. You can start
using the appliance.
• As soon as the preset temperature is reached, the thermometer
symbol stops flashing [B].
• Individual temperature choice: Using the temperature selection
buttons (3), you can adjust the temperature in 5 °C steps in a
range between 130 °C and 200 °C. We recommend the
following temperature settings:
Hair structure
Fine, porous, coloured, bleached
Normal
Strong, resistant
. . . and for professional styling results
The higher the temperature setting, the faster you will get a
sleek straightening result. When working with the maximum
temperature setting, you should not treat the same strand
more than once.
• °C max booster: For handling difficult hair strands, you can
instantly boost the temperature by pushing the «°C max»
button (4). For 20 seconds, the appliance will heat up to the
maximum temperature with the backlight flashing [D].
Afterwards, the appliance switches back to the previously
selected temperature.
• Safety auto off: For safety reasons, the appliance automatically
switches off after 30 minutes. Five minutes prior to switching
off, the display shows «Auto off» [E] along with a red/green
flashing backlight. If you want to keep on straightening, simply
press the «on/off» button (6) again shortly.
• Memory function: In order to make your styling session as
convenient and quick as possible, the appliance stores your
last personalised settings for the next usage.
Styling
Preparation
• Make sure your hair is completely dry before using the
appliance.
• First, comb your hair through with a wide toothed comb to
remove tangles [G].
• Section your hair off. Starting close to the roots, take a thin
section of hair (strands of 3–4 cm maximum) and clamp it
firmly between the styling plates [H].
How to straighten your hair
• Gently run the straightener through the entire length of the hair,
slowly and steadily, from roots to the ends [I] without stopping
for longer than 2 seconds. This will ensure best straightening
results without damaging your hair. Since the NanoGlide
Ceramic plates are 3 times smoother than conventional
ceramic plates, they protect your hair from damage by
providing friction-free gliding.
• For improved control when gliding along a strand, you may
stabilise the appliance by holding it with the other hand on the
cool touch points (1).
• You can create flicks at the hair ends by slowly turning the
appliance either outwards or inwards before releasing a strand.
How to form curls
With the Braun straightener, you can also create loose curls and
waves [J]:
– Clamp a strand at the roots,
– turn the appliance half a turn,
