Important safety instructions

Caution: do not use the appliance in the vicinity of a bath, shower or swimming-pool, over a washbasin filled

with water or near any other receptacle containing water.

Protect the appliance from moisture and splashing water and do not operate it with wet hands.

In the vicinity of any water source, there is a risk even when the appliance is switched off. Therefore, always remove the plug from the wall socket after use, especially if the appliance is being used in a bathroom. Additional protection is available by fitting an earth-leakage circuit-breaker with a rated tripping current not exceeding 30 mA into your bathroom installation. Please consult a qualified electrician. The heating plates operate at very high

temperatures. Caution: skin contact with these parts may cause burns. Do not touch any part of the appliance except the grip area.

To prevent damage to the hair caused by the high temperature, contact between the hair and the heating plates should be limited to a few seconds at a time.

• Do not use the appliance on synthetic hair-pieces or wigs; the heat emitted might cause damage to the synthetic fibres.

Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as any attachments fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. If the appliance, for instance, has been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on its operational safety.

The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.

To prevent damage to the power cord, do not bend or kink the cable, especially where it leaves the housing,

• do not pull on the cord,
• do not coil the cord around the appliance.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.

Take special care not to let any hot parts of the appliance come into contact with the scalp, ears or face.

• Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces.

Always remove the plug from the wall socket

• after use,
• in case of any malfunction, and
• before cleaning the appliance.
• When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.
• Do not place the appliance on any surfaces sensitive to heat during or immediately after use. This appliance is not intended for use by

any persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential source of danger e.g. from suffocation. No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with. This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Before using for the first time

The appliance and the heating plates should be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth before use.

Temperature selection

To prevent the hair from being damaged, always start with a low temperature setting, e.g. 130 - 150°C for thin or sensitive hair, 160 - 180°C for thicker hair. If the hair can be straightened at that setting in two cycles, no further increase in temperature is necessary, as the optimum setting has already been reached.

Operation

• The appliance should only be used on dry or almost dry hair.
• Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
• Turn the appliance on by keeping the On/

Off switch depressed for two seconds.

• Use the temperature control buttons to set the desired level, observing the above instructions. Pre-heating starts as the selected temperature is shown in the display. During the heating phase, the appliance should be placed on a firm, heat-resistant surface.
• Once the desired temperature has been reached, the indicator 'Ready' appears in the display as well. Take each strand of hair as close as possible to the roots and place it between the heating plates. Bring the two arms together on the hair and gently pull through the hair, starting from the roots and working your way out to the ends.
• Open the arms.
• Check whether the result is as desired.
• If you wish the shaping to be more pronounced, repeat the process and allow the heat to take effect for a slightly longer period.
• The appliance will switch off automatically after 40 minutes.
• Switch off and remove the plug from the wall socket after use.

General care and cleaning

Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has completely cooled down. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water. - Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. - The exterior of the appliance may be wiped with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. - The heating plates may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent.
