• After about 30 seconds, the straightener is ready for use.
• The operating display lights up when the device is switched on.

Adjusting the temperature

- The continuously adjustable temperature regulation can be used to increase or reduce the temperature. To increase the temperature, turn clockwise. To reduce the temperature, turn anti-clockwise.

We recommend the following temperature settings:

• 150 °C to 180 °C:
• 180 °C to 200 °C:
• Normal hair
• 200 °C to 230 °C:
• Strong and resistant hair

- Fine, fragile, coloured or bleached hair

Note

• The higher the selected temperature, the more quickly you get the desired result.
• If you work with the maximum temperature, do not work on the same strands more than once.

Straightening/shaping hair

• Dry your hair completely before using the straightener.
• Your hair should be clean and free of styling products. Exceptions to this are special products that aid straightening of the hair.
• Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb to untangle it.

• Divide your hair into individual strands with a width of about 3 to 4 cm. Hold the strands taut and place them between the heating plates [1] at the roots.

• Move the straightener slowly and smoothly from the roots to the ends. Do not keep the straightener at any one place for longer than two seconds. This way you will obtain the best results without overstraining or damaging your hair.

• You can shape the ends by twisting the straightener either outward or inward before you pull it out over the ends.

Note

- Automatic shutoff:

For your safety, the straightener shuts off automatically after 60 minutes.
