PURPOSE OF USE AND FEATURES OF THE HAIR STRAIGHTENING
IRON
■
The hair straightening iron is intended exclusively for straightening and styling
human hair. It must never be used for styling wigs, hairpieces, synthetic hair or for
straightening animal fur.
■
The iron is equipped with an automatic safety shut-off function, that turns it off after
60 minutes of inactivity.
■
The surface of the ironing plates enables operating temperatures from 170 °C to 230 °C.
APPLICATION
TURNING ON AND SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
■
Connect the iron to a power socket.
■
Hold down button
A4
. The appliance will beep, the steam symbol will be lit and the
default temperature of 170 °C will start flashing on the display and the iron will start
heating up. When the temperature is reached, the value will remain permanently lit.
■
By repeatedly pressing button
A1
, other temperatures are selected in the order 170 °C,
190 °C, 210 °C and 230 °C.
TEMPERATURE DEPENDING ON HAIR TYPE
■
The suitable temperature for straightening hair depends on the hair structure.
Depending on the type of hair, an incorrectly selected temperature may cause the hair
to dry out, become brittle or in the worst case to burn. Therefore, first try ironing at
a low temperature (170 °C) and set a higher temperature only when necessary.
■
The information contained in the following table is for reference purposes only. It may
differ depending on hair type.
Hair type
Temperature
Fine, damaged, discoloured, highlighted or dyed hair
170 °C to 190 °C
Normal, lightly wavy hair
190 °C to 210 °C
Very heavy, curly, unyielding hair
210 °C to 230 °C
COLD STEAM FUNCTION
■
The cold steam function helps achieve better hair ironing results. The function is
automatically activated when the iron is turned on using button
A4
.
■
Cold steam is emitted from the vents
A2
every time the arms of the iron are closed.
■
To deactivate the cold steam function, press button
A5
. The steam symbol on the
display will turn off.
Attention:
Do not activate the cold steam function when the water tank
is empty.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FUNCTION
■
If no action is taken after turning on the iron, i.e. no button is pressed, then for safety
reasons, the iron will turn off automatically after 60 minutes of inactivity. It will start
again after button
A4
is pressed.
Attention:
The automatic shut-off is intended only for cases, where you
forget to turn off the iron using button
A4
. Do not use the
automatic shut-off to intentionally turn off the iron.
FILLING THE COLD STEAM TANK
Attention:
Prior to filling the water tank, always disconnect the iron
from the power socket.
■
Remove the lid
B1
and take out the water tank
B2

B3
of the filling opening and pour in cold, clean water and close the
cap. Use a suitable wiping cloth to wipe the entire water tank dry.
■
Insert the water tank back into the iron and close the cap
B1
.
PROCEDURE FOR IRONING HAIR
■
Wash your hair thoroughly, dry it completely and brush through thoroughly so that it
is smooth and without knots.
■
Separate this prepared hair using clips into equally wide strands (about 5 cm wide).
■
Start to iron the back part of the head at the lower strands of hair – at the root place
the strand of hair between the plates and gently press the handle of the iron. With
a sliding motion pull the iron all the way to the ends of the hair.
■
Repeat the procedure for the same strand of hair until you achieve the desired
appearance.
■
Continue in the same way with the remaining strands of hair (first on the front part of
the head and ending at the sides).
■
Before the final combing, allow the hair to fully cool down.
Attention:
Do not touch the ironing plates - there is a danger of burns!
Do not leave the iron in the one spot for longer than
5 seconds as hair could be burnt.
Use the iron only on healthy hair. Do not use the iron on oily,
stuck together or sweaty hair. On perm or coloured hair only
use the iron infrequently.
Tip:
Adjust the speed of movement of the iron on the hair strands according
to their character (fine hair is more sensitive to a hot surface and
requires a significantly shorter ironing time than stronger hair).
OVERHEATING PROTECTION
■
The iron is equipped with anti-overheating protection. If the iron overheats, all the
temperature values on the display will start to flash at the same time and no buttons
will react to being touched. If this happens, disconnect the iron from the power socket
and allow it to cool down. After reconnecting it to a power socket and turning it on,
the iron will function as normal. If not, do not use the iron and contact a service centre.
TURNING OFF THE IRON
■
When you have finished ironing, turn off the iron by holding down button
A4
until the
display turns off. Turning off is also indicated by a beep.
■
Disconnect the iron from the power socket.
Attention:
Allow the iron to fully cool down before storing!
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention:
Clean the ironing plates only after they have fully cooled
down!
No part of the iron may be submerged in water or washed
under running water!
■
To clean the outside parts of the iron and the ironing plates, use a fine cloth dipped
in lukewarm water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, paint thinners or solvents.
Using these solutions could damage the surface of the product. The surface of the
ironing plates does not require any additional cleaning.
STORAGE
When not using the iron for an extended period of time, do the following:
■
Clean the iron as described in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
■
Place the iron in a safe, dust-free, clean and dry place that is out of reach of children.
■
If you wish to secure the arms against opening, press button
