100.01/I, 100.04/IS, 100.04/I, 100.07/I only)

This product also has the “ION” function, which is

always active during operation. The appliance produces

a flow of negative ions.

The ion generator may emit a slight humming noise, but

this is perfectly normal.

Ions are electrically charged particles found in nature.

Negatively charged ions help to purify the air by

neutralising the positively charged ions that, by contrast,

reduce its quality by retaining in the atmosphere many

An abundance of negatively charged ions can be found

after a thunder storm or at the seaside or in the

mountains, close to waterfalls and waterways where the

feeling of well-being is due to the increased presence of

pure, natural, revitalising air.

Improved hydration of hair

Negatively charged ions help to maintain the proper

hydration of your hair.

Conditioning effect on the hair

Improved hydration assists with the conditioning of your

hair, has a regenerating effect and makes it softer and

easier to comb, with greater volume and shine.

No electrostatic charge or “fly away”

Negatively charged ions help to reduce static electricity,

the “fly away” effect and unwanted frizzles.

X’BRUSH ACCESSORY (for models

supplied with this accessory)

The X’Brush accessory was designed to achieve 3

results in a single action (fig. 3):

1. DETANGLING: the bristles detangle and guide the hair

between the plates for gentler, quicker straightening.

2. PERFECT STRAIGHTENING, thanks to the 5 layers of

tourmaline ceramic coating the plates.

3. MAXIMUM SHINE: the bristles stroke the hair while it

is still warm, smoothing the cuticles and eliminating

excess heat to straighten kinks.

Fit the accessory to the appliance as illustrated in fig. 2.
