Risk of burns!
Never allow appliance to come into contact
with skin (scalp or ears).
You can use the hair straightener to
straighten or curl your hair.
● Only use the appliance on dry hair.
Note: Fine hair responds particularly quickly
to the treatment with the heating plates.
Please take note of the temperature
recommended for your own hair type under
“Operation”.
The even heat emission of the heating
plates is especially gentle on the hair.
The result is smooth hair with an intensive,
silky shine.
Important:
Never apply in one place for
longer than 2 seconds.
Sensor function
In order to protect the hair against damage
when straightening, the pressure applied
to the hair must not be too strong. This is
why the hair straightener has been fitted
with a sensor function. The pressure on
the hair strands is monitored by means
of the flexibly mounted heating plates.
To activate the sensor function press the
Sensor button. If the pressure applied to
the hair is in the normal, non-critical range,
the Sensor button will light up green. If the
pressure is too great, the grip of the hair
straightener will start to vibrate and the
Sensor button will light up red. Press the
heating plates together with less force.
When switched off, the
Sensor
button will
not light up.
Info: Only switch on the sensor function for
“straightening” hair. Switch off the sensor
function when “curling” hair.
Straightening your hair
(Image sequence A )
The appliance is suitable for both long and
short hair.
● Comb the hair and section it into even
strands (approx. 5 cm wide).
● Switch on the Sensor button; the button
lights up green.
● Set the locking device to
U
.
● Starting from the roots, place a strand of
hair between the plates (Figure a ).
● Press the plates together and pull down
gently and evenly toward the ends of the
hair (Figure b ).
● Treat all strands in the same manner.
Allow hair to cool completely before
styling.
Tip:
For shoulder-length hair, each strand
should take about 10 seconds.
Curling your hair
There are three methods for curling hair.
For each method, separate dry hair into
even sections, roughly 2 cm wide. The finer
the strand, the tighter the curl.
Curling with volume in the entire hair
(Image sequence B )
● Hold the hair straightener level, place the
strand of hair between the heating plates
and close them.
● Turn the straightener 180° and wrap the
strand once around the upper heating
plate.
● Press the plates firmly together and pull
the straightener down to the ends of the
hair at a steady pace. Hold down the
section of hair to be straightened using
your free hand.
● Now open the plates.
