Different temperatures may be selected for different hair types at intervals of 10°C, from a minimum of 120°C to a maximum of 230°C. After the selected value has been blinking for a few seconds, the display (fig. 1, ref. 7) will show the actual temperature of the straightening plates (fig. 1, ref. 2). When the temperature of the straightening plates is lower than 110°, 3 dashes flash on the display. Wait for the selected temperature to be reached, then begin styling the hair. Type 100.02/I, 100.02, 100.05/I, 100.05 Select the desired temperature using the corresponding wheel (fig. 1, ref. 5): when the LED (fig. 1, ref. 6) stops blinking, the appliance is ready to use. AUTOMATIC DEACTIVATION OF SAFETY and “HOT” FUNCTION (Not available for models 100.03/I, 100.03, 100.06/I, 100.06) The appliance automatically switches off 60 minutes after it was switched on: - in 100.01/IS, 100.01/I and 100.01, 100.04/IS and 100.04/I, 100.07/I, 100.07 models, 5 minutes before automatic deactivation, the display (fig. 1, ref. 7) shows the temperature and the text “off” alternately. When 60 minutes have elapsed, if the power button (fig. 1, ref. 3) has not been pressed again, the straightening plates (fig. 1, ref. 2) will begin to cool down; the text “Hot” appears on the display and remains visible until the metal plates reach a lower temperature which will not result in burns on contact with the skin. - in 100.02/I and 100.02, 100.05/I and 100.05 models, 5 minutes before automatic deactivation, the LED (fig. 1, ref. 6) blinks very slowly.

MEMORY FUNCTION In 100.01/IS, 100.01/I, 100.01 100.04/IS and 100.04/I, 100.07/I, 100.07 models, when the appliance is switched off, the last temperature setting is stored in the memory and remains active the next time it is switched on. ION FUNCTION (models 100.01/IS, 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. What are ions? 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 polluting agents. 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. 00060580 int feb2014:Layout 1 27/02/2014 9.12 Pagina 89 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. Important: never leave the appliance unattended when it is turned on. OPERATING TIPS

• Recommended temperatures: up to 150°C for fine, straight and coloured hair up to 180°C for fine, wavy hair up to 230°C for thick, curly hair

• Hair that has just been washed and dried can be styled better.

• The first few times you use this unit it is advisable to practice on small areas of your hair. This appliance is designed to smooth, straighten and style your hair, leaving shinier. To use the appliance proceed as follows: let the appliance heat until it reaches the desired temperature. Separate your hair into sections about 5 cm wide. Put one section at a time between the smoothing irons and close the irons by exerting force on the handles. To obtain a straightening effect: slide the irons slowly through your hair from the roots to the ends (fig.4). If necessary repeat this operation until the required effect is created. To obtain tight or loose curls proceed as shown in figures 5, 6, 7. Let your hair cool before combing or brushing. Please note: prolonged and repeated use of the appliance at high temperatures may result in a long-term straightened effect. This means each individual hair will struggle to regain its natural wave. 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. Proceed as illustrated in fig. 3 and 4. Important: replace the accessory after use so that the bristles are not crushed or bent, as their shape may be altered. Thermocap accessory (for models supplied with this accessory) Protective band (for models supplied with this accessory) The Thermocap accessory (fig. 1, ref. 9) and the protective band (fig. 1, ref. 10) provide heat protection, for use when closing the straightening plates (fig. 1, ref.

2) as the appliance is being put away after use.
