Dear customer, Thank you for choosing a product from our range. Our name stands for high-qual- ity, thoroughly tested products for applications in the areas of heat, weight, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, gentle therapy, massage, beauty, air and baby. With kind regards Your Beurer team Getting to know your device This device can be used to quickly and gently straighten and style hair. The hair straightener glides particularly smoothly through the hair thanks to the titanium-coated hot plates. Titanium particularly excels as a result of its smooth surface and its durabi- lity. A short heat-up phase means that the hair straightener is ready for use in seconds. Variable temperature settings (approx. 100-220°C) enable professional styling of dierent hair types. The MAGIC LED display enables easy and convenient operation. The button lock prevents the temperature from being adjusted unintentionally. The automatic switch-o protects the device against overheating. The moving plates make optimum adjustments to the individual hairs and provide perfect results. They are also rounded, enabling curled and waved styling in addition to straightening. The protection function creates the right balance between heat and ions. This ensu- res the hair is protected against drying out and preserves its dazzling colour. The built-in ion technology uses negatively charged ions to neutralise hair and, thanks to the 3-level intensity, can be individually adjusted to any hair type.
