BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

1. Remove all packaging materials and transport

safeguards. Due to danger of suffocation, keep children away from the packaging materials.

2. At first use, minor smoke development may

occur due to the high temperature that the appliance reaches. This smoke is normal and does not represent a hazard. Copyright UNOLD AG | www.unold.de23 USING

1. Only use the appliance on hair that is com-

pletely dry; use of the appliance on wet hair can damage hair.

2. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

3. Switch on the appliance via the ON/OFF switch

by keeping the switch depressed for at least two seconds.

4. Select the desired temperature level by press-

ing the „+“ and „-“ buttons until the desired temperature is reached. It is possible to set the temperature in six increments between 130°C and 200°C, each selected temperature level is displayed through illuminated segments.

5. The following temperatures can be set (the

factory setting is level 4): Level 1 approx 130°C for first use or for extremely soft hair Level 2 approx. 145°C, for hair that has been treated with chemicals Level 3 approx. 160°C, for a normal hair structure or slightly wavy hair Level 4 approx. 175°C, for a normal hair structure or slightly wavy hair Level 5/6 approx. 190-200°C, for thick curly hair Please note that the results can vary greatly due to the different hair structures of each person.

ature and only select a higher temperature if it needed.

temperature, the last segment of the display light up. As soon as the display is continu- ously illuminated you can start to style your hair.

8. Tip: Place a towel over your shoulders to pro-

tect your skin against possible heat exposure.

9. Divide the combed hair into small strands that

should not be wider than five centimetres. If necessary separate the hair strands with a bobby pin.

10. Firmly hold one strand of hair and move the

brush from top to bottom over the entire length of the strand. For an optimal result, we recommend moving the brush in such a manner that the bristles are pointing away from you.

11. Tip: You can style with a slight curl for more

volume by briefly turning the appliance to the inside or outside just before the ends of the hair (depending on the type of curl desired). Thus you produce a slight curl in your hair. The bristles of the hair straightening brush get very hot, thus ensure that the bristles never reach the scalp, or the skin of the face or hands – danger of burn injury!

until the desired result is achieved.
