Straightening hair

NOTICE

This Hair Straightener is equipped with an ionising function. The ionisation function ensures that a static charging of the hair is neutralised and cancelled. The hair becomes soft, supple, shiny and easier to style. The ionisation function is activated automatically when you use the Hair Straightener.

1) Prepare the hair as described in "Before straightening".
2) Start with the lower hair segments at the back of the head. Work over the sides to the front: Separate a 2 cm wide strand of hair and then hold the end firmly between the index and middle fingers of the hand with which you are not guiding the Hair Straightener.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

• Ensure that the hotplates do not make contact with the skin of the head. Risk of Burns! During operation, you may only take hold of the appliance by the handle! Risk of Burns!
  3) Clamp the hair strand between the hotplates close to the skin and then press them together.
  4) Pull the whole strand of hair through the heating plates by pulling the straightener down quickly from the roots to the tips.
  5) Repeat the process with each individual strand.
  6) When you have smoothed all of the strands, press and hold the On/Off button 3 until the display lighting 1 switches off. OFF appears in the display 1 and the indicator HOT flashes until the appliance has cooled down.
  7) Remove the plug from the mains power socket. All display indicators are extinguished.
  8) Press the hot plates together and then press the locking device on the side in.

Safety switch off

This appliance is equipped with a safety switch off.

After about 30 minutes without activation of a button, the appliance will switch off automatically. After about 25 minutes, the display ① begins to blink alternatively red and blue, to remind you of the automatic switch off. If the display has switched itself off after 30 minutes, the display indicates "Auto Off" and "hot".

If you wish to use the appliance for more than 30 minutes, before the 30 minutes have lapsed press any button. The 30 minute period then starts over again.

NOTICE
