The straightening plates heat up rapidly and are ready for use
within 60 seconds.
Some condensation may develop on the inside of the window near the
marble plate. This is normal and does not affect the performance of the
appliance.
Set the temperature setting selector to the preferred temperature
setting (1-5) (Fig. ).
Always select a low temperature setting when you use the
straightener for the first time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a temperature
setting between 13 and 25 (155°C-210°C).
For fine, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a temperature
setting between 1 and 12 (115°C-150°C).
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since
it is susceptible to damage at high temperatures.
Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and
smooth. (Fig. )
Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair in
one section.
Tip: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair
underneath first, followed by the top area.
5 Take a section that is approximately -cm wide.
6 Hold the straightener in such a way that the marble protection
plates point upwards and the hot straightening plates point
downwards (Fig. ).
Look at the symbol on the appliance. (Fig. 5)
If the hot straightening plates point in the wrong direction, turn the
appliance around. When you slide the straightener down the hair, the hot
straightening plates must touch the hair before the marble protection
plates.
7 Press the handles of the appliance firmly together.
