Frequently Asked Questions - SHGD 52 A1 SILVERCREST

How do I fill the water tank for steam?

Pull the water tank backwards out of the appliance. Open the black rubber closure, insert the fill bottle tip into the large filler opening, squeeze the bottle to fill until water reaches the small opening. Close the rubber closure and push tank back until it clicks.

How does the steam function work?

Steam is generated automatically after pressing the hotplates together about 5 times. After that, steam is dispensed with each press. The appliance must be at a temperature of at least 170 °C for steam generation.

What temperature should I select for my hair type?

For fine hair, use 150–170 °C (low). For normal hair, 170–190 °C (medium). For thick hair, 190–210 °C (high). For thick, hard-to-style hair, 210–230 °C (highest). Start with a lower temperature if unsure.

Can I use the straightener without water?

Yes, you can straighten hair without filling the water tank. The steam function will not operate, but the hotplates will work normally.

How do I clean the hair straightener?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Empty the water tank and wipe it with a damp cloth. Wipe the housing and hotplates with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild detergent, then wipe with a cloth moistened with clean water. Dry fully before reuse.

What does the automatic switch-off do?

The appliance automatically switches off after 60 minutes (±6 minutes) of inactivity. This is a safety feature; always turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF switch after use.

Why is my hair not straightening properly?

Ensure the appliance has reached the set temperature (indicator lights steady red). If the temperature is too low, increase it. Also make sure hair is clean, dry, and tangle-free. Pull the straightener smoothly through each strand without pausing.

What should I do if the appliance stops working?

Check that the plug is inserted properly and the socket is working. If the appliance still does not work, contact Customer Service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Can I use the straightener on wet hair?

No. Hair should be clean, dry, and free of styling products before straightening. Using it on wet hair can cause burns or damage.

How should I store the hair straightener?

Allow the appliance to cool completely on a heat-resistant surface. You can hang it by the hanger. For long-term storage, clean it first and store in a clean, dry place.

Why use steam for straightening?

The added steam ensures that the hair is straightened gently. Depending on the hair structure, the hair looks silkier and shinier because of the gentle straightening.

Before straightening

■ The hair should be clean, dry and free of styling products. The only exceptions to this are special products that promote the straightening of the hair.
■ Comb the hair thoroughly before straightening so that there are no knots in it.

Automatic switch-off

This appliance is fitted with an automatic switch-off system. After 60 minutes (+/- 6 minutes), the appliance will switch itself off automatically. If you want to continue using the appliance, switch it off for a moment and then back on again.

NOTE

The automatic switch-off is a safety function only and is not intended as a replacement for switching the appliance off properly using the ON/OFF switch ⑦!

Use

Filling the water tank

NOTE

▶ Fill the water tank ③ only when you want to generate steam for straightening.

1) Unscrew the top of the fill bottle ⑪ and fill it with water. Screw the top back on the fill bottle ⑪.

2) Pull the water tank ③ backwards and out of the appliance.

3) Open the black rubber closure ① on the water tank ③. When doing so, be careful that you do not tear the rubber tab to which the rubber closure ① is attached completely off the water tank ③. Pull out the rubber tab only far enough out of the water tank ③ so that the rubber closure ① opens and the filling hole is free.

4) Twist the top off the fill bottle ⑪ and guide the tip into the large filler opening on the water tank ③. Hold the water tank ③ at a slight tilt when filling it, so that the water runs downwards.

5) Squeeze the fill bottle ⑪ a little so that the water runs into the water tank ③.

6) When the water tank ③ is filled up to the small opening next to the filler opening, hold the water tank ③ straight again and remove the fill bottle ⑪ from the filler opening.

7) Close the rubber closure ①.

8) Push the water tank ③ back onto the appliance so that it clicks audibly back into place.

Switching on/off

NOTE

The hotplates ⑨ ⑩ must be free of dirt. Clean them before use if required (see section "Cleaning").

The appliance is secured with the catch ⑤.

Press the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ together and pull the catch ⑤ out.

Now you can open the hair straightener all the way.

1) Insert the plug into a mains socket.
2) Push the ON/OFF switch ⑦ forwards into the "I" (ON) position. The indicator light ⑧ starts to flash red and the appliance heats up.

NOTE

▶ Steam generation requires a temperature of at least 170^ C. At lower temperatures it is possible that hot water will come out of the upper hotplate ⑩ .

3) Select the temperature suitable for your hair by turning the temperature control ⑥:

-150-170°C, low heat level, for fine hair, not suitable for steam generation.
- 170 - 190°C, medium heat level, for normal hair, suitable for steam generation.
-190-210°C, high heat level, for thick hair, suitable for steam generation.
- 210-230°C, highest heat level, for thick hair that is hard to style, suitable for steam generation.

NOTE

▶ Select a high temperature for thick and strong hair.
▶ Select a lower temperature for fine and thin hair.
▶ If you are unsure, start with a lower temperature and increase the temperature until you find the ideal temperature for you.

4) As soon as the hair straightener has reached the set temperature, the indicator lamp ⑧ will light up permanently red.

5) When you have finished styling your hair, push the ON/OFF switch ⑦ backwards into the "0" (OFF) position. The indicator light ⑧ goes out. Pull out the plug and allow the appliance to cool down completely.

Straightening hair

1) Prepare the hair as described in "Before straightening".

NOTE

After the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ have been pushed together about 5 times, steam will be generated automatically because the steam activation ② is engaged by each press. Steam is now dispensed from the upper hotplate ⑩. If you want to work with steam from the start, then press the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ together as often as required until steam is dispensed.

2) Start with the lower sections of hair at the back of your head. Work around the sides to the front: Take a strand with a width of approximately 2 cm and hold its end tightly between your index and middle finger of the hand that is not holding the hair straightener.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Ensure that the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ do not touch your scalp. Risk of burns! Never touch the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ or the upper part of the hair straightener during operation! Risk of burns!

You need to press the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ together approx. 5 times only before the first time steam is dispensed. After this, steam is then dispensed every time you press the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ together. If you press the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ together too often without straightening your hair, drops of very hot water will form. Risk of scalding!

3) Clamp the strand near the root between the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ and press them together.

4) Pull the entire strand through the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ by pulling the hair straightener quickly downwards from the root to the tips.

5) Proceed in the same way for every strand.

6) Once you have straightened all the strands, switch the appliance off and pull the power plug from the mains power socket.

7) Allow the appliance to cool down completely.

Press the hotplates ⑨ ⑩ together and push the catch ⑤ back in.
