PURPOSE OF USE AND FEATURES OF THE HAIR IRON
■
The hair iron is intended exclusively for straightening, undulating 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 a temperature lock feature that prevents accidental
changes to the temperature while hair is being styled, and furthermore with an
automatic shut-off function that is activated after 60 minutes of inactivity.
■
The heating surface for the individual plates enables operating temperatures from
140 °C to 200 °C.

reached, the value will remain permanently lit.
■
By repeatedly pressing button
A1
, other temperatures are selected in the order
140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C.
TEMPERATURE LOCK FUNCTION

grid and contact a service centre.
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
A1
is pressed.
Attention:
The automatic shut-off is intended only for cases, where you
forget to turn off the iron using button
A1
. Do not use the
automatic shut-off to intentionally turn off the iron.
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 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.

back on to the arm. Correct attachment is accompanied by a click.
■
Repeat the procedure also on the second arm of the iron. ATTENTION – Only insert
the same plate types into the arms.
PROCEDURE FOR STYLING 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 or the attachments - 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).
TURNING OFF THE IRON
■
When you have finished ironing, turn off the iron by pressing button
A1
until the
display turns off. Turning off is also indicated by a beep.
■
Disconnect the iron from the power socket.
Attention:
Allow the iron and the plates to fully cool down before
storing!
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention:
Clean the ironing plates and styling 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 iron plates does not need any further cleaning. Prior to storing or
using them again, allow them to dry completely or wipe them dry.
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.
