• After approximately 40 seconds, you can start using the appliance.

• Using the temperature selection buttons (5), you can adjust the temperature within a 5-step range that is represented by segments on the display (4). When changing the temperature setting, the display segments will flash. As soon as the selected temperature is reached, the display segments stop flashing. A Preparing your hair

• Make sure your hair is completely dry before using the appliance.

• First, comb your hair through with a wide toothed comb to remove tangles [A2]. B How to straighten your hair (Style 1) For straightening, we recommend the following temperature settings: ` for thick hair ` for normal hair ` for fine hair The higher the temperature setting, the faster you will get a sleek, straight style.

1. Section off a hair strand. Starting close to the roots, take a

thin strand (2–3 cm or 2 fingers wide) and clamp it firmly between the styling plates [B1].

2. Gently run the straightener through the entire length of the

hair, slowly and steadily, from roots to the ends [B2] without stopping for longer than 2 seconds. This will ensure best straightening results without damaging your hair. The ceramic plates (1) ensure easy and smooth 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 (2).

• You can create flicks at the hair ends by slowly turning the appliance either outwards or inwards before releasing a strand. C How to create curls (Style 2) Select temperature setting for fast and reliable styling results (independently of hair type). The appliance offers a completely new way of creating curls: simple, without rolling up hair strands or long waiting times.

For improved handling, you may want to hold the cool touch with your free hand to keep the styling plates pressed together.

Slowly guide the appliance away from head towards hair tips Slowly pull the styler away from head and towards the tips of your hair.

The slower you pull, the more defined the curl will be. The faster you pull, the looser the curl will be. For best results
