USER MANUAL C1201E BABYLISS

CARACTERISTIQUES DU PRODUIT

• When using the unit for the rst time, you might notice a distinct odour: this is common and will disappear by the next use.

• Each time you use the appliance, you may see some steam. Do not be concerned, this could be because of evaporation of the natural oils of the hair, residual hair products (leave-in hair products, hairspray, etc.) or excess moisture evaporating from your hair.

• A heat-protection spray can be used to provide optimal protection of the hair.

• The ioniser within the device gives o ions which have an anti-static eect, leaving your hair nice and soft with a shine. Nb: It is quite normal to hear a slight noise, similar to a crackle: this is the characteristic noise of the ion generator. 16_C1200E-C1201E_IB.indd 7 09/03/2016 9:16 AM8

• Plug in the appliance, switch on and select the desired temperature using the 0-I-II switch. See table below: Temperature Hair type (I): 210°C Fine, bleached and/or damaged hair (II): 230°C Normal, thick hair wavy or dyed

• The indicator light comes on and will start to ash.

• The indicator light will stop ashing when the appliance has heated up to the selected temperature. The appliance is now ready to use; the indicator light will stay on.

• Select the time setting depending on the desired curl eect. For loose curls, select the minimum time setting. For tighter curls, select the maximum time setting. Please refer to the table below: Time Audio beep indicator Curl eect 8 8 seconds 3 beeps Loose waves 10 10 seconds 4 beeps Soft curls 12 12 seconds 5 beeps Dened curls

• Select the adjustment of the direction of the curl, according to the desired result: - For an even, more sophisticated style, adjust the appliance to the “L” (left) position, to create curls to the left side of the head. Then adjust the appliance to the “R” (right) posi- tion, to create curls on the right side of the head. - For a softer, more natural style, adjust the appliance to the “A” (automatic) position. This adjustment will create alternating curls, rst in one direction and then in the opposite direction. Precautions for use

• Ensure that hair is dry.

• Clip the upper layers to the top of your head and start working on the layers underneath.

• Separate a section of hair no wider than 3 cm. Ensure the section is thoroughly combed through. 16_C1200E-C1201E_IB.indd 8 09/03/2016 9:16 AM9

• Bring the appliance close to the hair and position it in the right direction: the cavity formed by the cylinder downwards (FIG.1 and 2) and facing the head. (FIG. 3 and 4).

• With your free hand, take hold of the tip of the section of hair and place it on the opening, in the funnel situated between the two handles (FIG.5). Note: To prevent the appliance from blocking, ensure that you have no hair lying across the edges. Also ensure that you are not pulling your hair before activating the handles (FIG. 6 and 7). If these precautions are not respected, you risk catching your hair in the appliance.

• Once the section of hair is in place, close the handles to allow the hair to automatically enter into the appliance.

• Keep the handles closed until the beeping stops (after 3, 4 or 5 beeps depending on the selected time setting, see the table above) (FIG.8).

• Gently release the hair from the appliance by opening the handles (FIG.9). Don’t pull on the appliance to free the hair. If you do this you will ruin the curl eect.

• Allow your hair to cool before handling or combing it.

• Repeat all over the head until you have the number of curls you would like.

• After use, switch o and unplug the appliance. Allow to cool before storing away. Protection system The appliance is tted with a protection system. If hair becomes tangled, the appliance emits an audible signal, it blocks and stops heating. If this occurs, release the handles, ensuring that the appliance and section of hair are correctly positioned, then simply re-close the handles to deactivate the security system and re-start the appliance. Sleep mode If the appliance is not in use for more than 20 minutes, the temperature will automatically reduce to 150°C. If you wish to continue using the appliance after this time, simply close then release the handles and the appliance will return to the temperature setting previously selected. Automatic shut o If the appliance is left switched on for more than 60 minutes at a time, it will automatically shut o. 16_C1200E-C1201E_IB.indd 9 09/03/2016 9:16 AM10
