• Set the desired temperature using the temperature setting selector (+ and - buttons). We recommend using a lower temperature for ne, bleached and/or damaged hair, and a higher temperature for curly, thick and/or dicult-to-style hair. As each hair type is dierent, we recommend that you start with the lowest heat setting rst. You can gradually increase the heat setting with each successive use, if needed. Refer to the table below as a guide: Temperature Hair type 150 – 170 °C Green LED - Yellow LED Fine, bleached and/or damaged hair 170 – 210 °C Yellow LED - Red LED Normal, coloured and/or wavy hair 210 – 230 °C Red LED Thick and/or very curly hair

The steam function LED indicator (2) lights up. The steam feature is instant, you can start straightening your hair right away. Take up a section about 5 cm wide and place it between the 2 heating plates, near the roots of your hair. Close the appliance and keep the plates closed by using your other hand, while taking care not to touch the plates with your hands. Slowly slide the appliance down the whole section of hair from the roots to the tips (Fig. 2). Repeat several times if necessary and repeat this step around the head.

• Let the hair cool down before you comb it.

• After use, switch o and unplug the appliance. • Allow the unit to cool before storing. To curl the hair: you must rst deactivate the steam function to properly curl your hair. We also recommend that you curl your hair without rst straightening it. Take up a section about 2 to 4 cm wide and place it between the 2 heating plates, near the roots of your hair. Turn the appliance 180° or 360° inwards or outwards, depending on the desired eect (Fig. 3). Slowly slide the straightener in a continuous fashion down the entire section of hair, from the roots to the tips, using your other hand to keep the plates rmly closed around the hair (Fig. 4-5). Remove the straightener and twist the section with your ngers so that it falls into its natural position (Fig. 6). Repeat if necessary. You may wish to set the curls using a light misting of hairspray. Several curling methods are available depending on the desired type of curl.
