USEFUL ADVICE
Quickly gained experience in using this hair straightener will help you determine exactly how
long to set the hair for the effect you want.
1) Each time you use your straightener make sure that your hair is perfectly dry, clean and
free from all traces of hairspray, mousse or gel.
2) Use the temperature control system to heat the straightener to the temperature which is
suitable for your hair. We suggest using a low temperature on fine hair and high
temperatures on thick hair that is difficult to straighten.
3) Start styling from the back of the neck, then move onto the sides and finish at the
forehead.
4) When using the hair straightener and during the heating up and cooling down phases,
place it on a smooth and heat-resistant surface.
5) While styling, take care not to bring the hair straightener too close to sensitive areas of
the face, the ears, the neck or the skin.
6) After use, let the hair straightener cool down completely before putting it away.
PREPARING THE HAIR
- Wash the hair as usual and brush out any tangles.
- Dry it completely, brushing it from the roots towards the tips.
OPERATION
- Connect the plate to the mains, set switch
d
to position “ON” and let it heat up [Fig. A] .
- A red light
e
comes on to indicate that the appliance is switched on; set the right
temperature by turning knob
c
clockwise to increase (Max 200°C) or anti-clockwise to
decrease (Min 120°C) the temperature [Fig. B] .
- When the set temperature is reached, the light
e
goes to green. This means that the
appliance is ready to use.
- Take a thin and limp lock of the same size as the plate between your fingers and fit it in
the opening of the appliance.
- Starting from the roots, pull the lock taut with the hand and use the other hand to hold the
appliance. Clamp it tight on the lock, while sliding the appliance down to the tips.
- Once hair smoothing has been completed switch off the appliance by setting switch
d
to
position “OFF” and pull out the plug from the power socket.
Warning:
While you are using the appliance, you may notice some steam coming out, which is
excess moisture in the hair that soon evaporates.
