Safety information

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Connect the appliance only to mains power sockets supplying a mains power voltage of 110 - 240 V \~, 50/60 Hz.
  To prevent accidents, have defective plugs and/or power cables replaced immediately by an authorised specialist technician or our Customer Service department.
  Remove the plug from the mains power socket in case of operating malfunctions and before you clean the appliance.
  ▶ Always pull on the plug to disconnect the appliance from the mains; never pull on the power cable itself.
  ▶ Do not kink or crush the power cable, and route the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
  ▶ Make sure that the power cable does not become wet or moist during use. Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be crushed or damaged.
  ▶ To prevent risks, stop using the appliance immediately if it is damaged.
  ▶ Do not wrap the power cable around the appliance, and protect it from being damaged.
• Do not use extension cables – they will make it difficult to disconnect the appliance quickly in an emergency.
  ▶ Never touch the appliance, the power cable or the power plug with wet hands.
  ▶ Never submerge the appliance in liquids or never allow liquids to penetrate the appliance housing. Do not expose the appliance to humidity and do not use it outdoors. If any liquid gets into the housing, disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket immediately and have it repaired by a qualified technician.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

▶ Unplug the appliance immediately after use. The appliance is only completely free of electrical power when unplugged.
▶ Ensure that objects can never penetrate into the inside of the appliance, especially metal hair clips, grips or hairpins.
If the appliance is being used in the bathroom, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket after use as the close proximity of water represents a hazard – even when the appliance is switched off.

Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers or other containers filled with water. The proximity of water is hazardous, even if the appliance is switched off. For additional protection, we recommend that you install a residual current circuit breaker with an activation power rating of no more than 30 mA for the power circuit in the bathroom. Ask your electrician for advice.

⚠ WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Never leave a switched-on appliance unsupervised.
▶ Never place the appliance close to sources of heat, and always protect the power cable from damage.
- Do not operate the appliance if it has been dropped or is damaged in any way. Have the appliance checked and/or repaired by qualified technicians if necessary.
- Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the appliance yourself. This can lead to risks and also invalidates the warranty. Defective appliances should be repaired by authorized specialists only.
The appliance components can get hot during operation. Therefore, only touch the handle and the buttons.

⚠ WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be carried out by children, unless they are under supervision.

▶ Never switch the appliance on if the protective cap is on.
▶ Never put on the protective cap when the appliance is still hot.
▶ Use only the supplied original accessories, as these have been optimised for interaction with the appliance. Other parts may not be adequately safe.
- Keep the air inlet and outlet openings clear to ensure un impaired air flow. Otherwise the appliance may overheat.
Exercise caution when using hair spray, water atomizers, etc. The air flow may blow these substances directly into your eyes. These substances must also not be allowed to penetrate the appliance, as they may be inflammable, caustic or electrically conductive.

NOTE

▶ If possible, keep the original packaging during the warranty period so that the appliance can be packed properly for returning in the event of a warranty claim.

First use

■ Before you use the appliance, ensure that ...

- the appliance or its accessory parts are in perfect working condition, - all packaging materials have been removed.

Preparing your hair

• Ensure that your hair is free of any styling or care products. This does not apply to heat protection spray.
• Your hair must be dry.
• Your hair must be combed and free from knots.

Operation

NOTE

▶ You may notice a slight smell when using the appliance for the first time. This is normal and the smell dissipates after a short time.

Settings

1) Insert the plug into a mains socket. The appliance beeps.

2) Press the On/Off button ⏻ ⑫. You will hear a beep and the temperature indicator ⑦ flashes. The set temperature flashes several times before the current temperature is displayed. The appliance now heats up and the current temperature rises. As soon as the selected temperature is reached, the temperature indicator ⑦ comes on permanently.

NOTE

The set temperature may be exceeded repeatedly and drops again afterwards. This happens because the appliance is trying to maintain the set temperature and reheats repeatedly.

3) Press the temperature button ⏻ 14 until the desired temperature is shown on the display. The temperature depends on your hair type:

Temperature Hair type

130°C very fine, stressed and damaged hair

150°C fine hair

170°C normal hair

190°C wavy hair

210°C thick or wavy hair

230°C thick, wavy hair

NOTE

If you are not sure what temperature is ideal for your hair, increase the temperature gradually. Start with a low temperature and increase the temperature until you are happy with the result.

4) Press the rotation direction button L until the desired curling direction has been set:

Curling direction indicator 6	Curl direction
RIGHT	The curls are always turned in a clockwise direction
LEFT	The curls are always turned in an anticlockwise direction
AUTO	The curls are turned alternately in a clockwise and anticlockwise direction

5) Press the turn button Ⓞ ⑬ to set the number of turns You can read off the set number from the turns indicator ⑤. The number of turns depends on the length of the hair:

Number of turns Hair length

5-7 approx. 20-30 cm

8-10 30-50 cm

11-12 >50 cm

NOTE

The diameter/size of the curls is always the same!

6) Depending on the nature of your hair and the desired intensity of the curls, select the time for which the strand of hair is to stay on the roller ② and be heated.

For gentle waves, select a short time. For tighter curls, choose the longest possible time. Bear in mind that thick hair needs a longer time than fine hair to achieve the same result.

To set the time, press the time button ① ⑪ repeatedly until the desired time appears on the time indicator ④.

Selectable time Temperature

3-12 seconds 130°C - 230°C

You have now made all required settings. You can change the settings at any time by pressing the relevant button if you ascertain that the time/temperature/turning speed is not ideal for your hair.

Curling your hair

Once you have made all settings on the appliance and the Temperature indicator ⑦ is permanently on (temperature reached):

1) To prevent the hair from getting caught in the curling chamber ①, use the hair template ⑨ to separate the strands of hair. Ensure that the strand is no thicker than the punched hole in the hair template ⑨.

2) When inserting the hair strand into the curling chamber ①, the opening must be facing towards the head. Hold the appliance around 5 cm from your scalp. The strand must be straight and taut when it is inserted.

3) Let go of the strand and press the Start button ⑯. The roller ② starts to turn and stops automatically after the set number of turns. The strand is wound around the roller ②.

As soon as the roller ② stops, you will hear a beep and the set time starts counting down. As soon as the programmed time period has elapsed, you will hear three beeps.

4) Pull the appliance away from your head so that the strand slips out of the curling chamber ①.

5) Proceed in the same way with the other strands.

6) When you are finished styling your hair, press and hold down the On/Off button 🔊 12 until the display goes out.

7) Remove the power plug from the mains power socket.

8) As soon as the appliance has cooled down, put the protective cap ③ onto the appliance.
