• To fit any attachment to the central body of the moulder, position the at- tachment so that the mark ● on the underside lines up with the mark ▲ on the top of the central body. Turn the attachment anticlockwise until you hear a click. The mark ▼ on the attachment has to be above the mark ▲ on the central body.

• To shut it off, just slide it upwards. IONIZER SWITCH Fig.1 4

• Ionic technology successfully fragments the molecules of water so that they penetrate the cuticle and root of the hair more readily. This results in extra- moisturizing, which gives the hair a healthier, brighter and softer look.

• We advise you to switch on the ionizer Fig.1 (4) while drying and moulding your hairstyle, so as to achieve a better finish and additional care. The green pilot light Fig.1 (5) will come on to show that the ionizer is in operation. ATTACHMENTS: Fig.2
