Using the appliance
Which temperature to use
Curlers are powerful styling tools and should always be used with care.
If you use the curler incorrectly or if you use it at the wrong
temperature, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.
Always select a low temperature setting when you start using the curler for
the first time.
1
Always select a temperature that is suitable for your hair type.
For fine or normal hair, select a low to medium temperature (100-140°C).
For thick or coarse hair, select a medium to high temperature (140-180°C).
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since it
will be susceptible to damage at high temperatures.
For loose curls or waves, use a lower temperature than for tight curls.
Setting the temperature
1
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2
Press the on/off button. (Fig. 2)
The light burns red to indicate that the appliance is heating up. The display
shows the selected temperature (the default temperature is 100°C) and
the remaining time of the curling session. The total usage time is 60 minutes.
Every ten minutes one of the six bars will disappear.
3
You can adjust the set temperature by pressing the + and - buttons.
Look at the display to see the temperature you have selected. The
light burns red as long as the appliance is heating up to the set
temperature. (Fig. 3)
4
The light turns green as soon as the set temperature has been
reached. (Fig. 4)
Styling with the curler
1
Comb your hair to get rid of tangles. (Fig. 5)
2
Divide your hair into locks and put them aside with clips.
The thinner the lock of hair, the tighter the curl will be.
3
Comb each lock before curling it. (Fig. 6)
4
Put on the glove to avoid burning your fingers while you are winding
the lock round the inner barrel.
5
Start styling at the lower part of your head and work your way up to
the crown.
6
Lift the outer barrel by pressing the lever and place the lock between
the inner barrel and the outer barrel as close to your scalp as
possible. (Fig. 7)
7
Keep the outer barrel lifted and wind the hair lock round the inner
barrel from root to tip. (Fig. 8)
8
Release the level to lower the outer barrel and leave the appliance in
position for 15 seconds. Heat is now applied through both the inner
and outer barrel. (Fig. 9)
9
Press the lever to lift the outer barrel and release the curl.
