- in 100.02/I and 100.02, 100.05/I and 100.05 models, 5
minutes before automatic deactivation, the LED (fig. 1, ref. 6)
blinks very slowly. When 60 minutes have elapsed, if the
power button (fig. 1,
ref. 3) has not been pressed again, the straightening plates
(fig. 1, ref. 2) begin to cool and the LED blinks very slowly,
until they have reached a lower temperature which will not
result in burns on contact with the skin.
MEMORY FUNCTION
In 100.01/IS, 100.01/I, 100.01 100.04/IS and 100.04/I,
100.07/I, 100.07, 100,20/I models, when the appliance is
switched off, the last temperature setting is stored in the
memory and remains active the next time it is switched on.
ION FUNCTION
(models 100.01/IS,
100.01/I, 100.04/IS, 100.04/I, 100.07/I,
100.20/I)
This product also has the “ION” function, which is always
active during operation. The appliance produces a flow of
negative ions.
The ion generator may emit a slight humming noise, but this
is perfectly normal.
What are ions?
Ions are electrically charged particles found in nature.
Negatively charged ions help to purify the air by neutralising
the positively charged ions that, by contrast, reduce its quality
by retaining in the atmosphere many polluting agents.
An abundance of negatively charged ions can be found after
a thunder storm or at the seaside or in the mountains, close
to waterfalls and waterways where the feeling of well-being is
due to the increased presence of pure, natural, revitalising air.
Improved hydration of hair
Negatively charged ions help to maintain the proper hydration
of your hair.
Conditioning effect on the hair
Improved hydration assists with the conditioning of your hair,
has a regenerating effect and makes it softer and easier to
comb, with greater volume and shine.
No electrostatic charge or “fly away”
Negatively charged ions help to reduce static electricity, the
“fly away” effect and unwanted frizzles.
Important: never leave the appliance unattended when it
is turned on.
OPERATING TIPS
• Recommended temperatures:
up to 150°C for fine, straight and coloured hair
up to 180°C for fine, wavy hair
up to 230°C for thick, curly hair
• Hair that has just been washed and dried can be
styled better.
• The first few times you use this unit it is advisable
to practice on small areas of your hair.
This appliance is designed to smooth, straighten and style
your hair, leaving shinier. To use the appliance proceed as
follows: let the appliance heat until it reaches the desired
temperature. Separate your hair into sections about 5 cm
wide. Put one section at a time between the smoothing irons
and close the irons by exerting force on the handles.
To obtain a
straightening effect
: slide the irons slowly through
your hair from the roots to the ends (fig.4). If necessary repeat
this operation until the required effect is created.
To obtain
tight or loose curls
proceed as shown in figures 5,
6, 7.
Let your hair cool before combing or brushing.
Please note: prolonged and repeated use of the appliance at
high temperatures may result in a long-term straightened
effect. This means each individual hair will struggle to regain
its natural wave.
X’BRUSH ACCESSORY
(for models
supplied with this accessory)
The X’Brush accessory was designed to achieve 3 results in
a single action (fig. 3):
1. DETANGLING: the bristles detangle and guide the hair
between the plates for gentler, quicker straightening.
2. PERFECT STRAIGHTENING, thanks to the 5 layers of
tourmaline ceramic coating the plates.
3. MAXIMUM SHINE: the bristles stroke the hair while it
is still warm, smoothing the cuticles and eliminating
excess heat to straighten kinks.
Fit the accessory to the appliance as illustrated in fig. 2.
Proceed as illustrated in fig. 3 and 4.
Important:
replace the accessory after use so that the bristles
are not crushed or bent, as their shape may be altered.
Thermocap accessory
(for models
supplied with this accessory)
Protective band
(for models supplied
with this accessory)
The Thermocap accessory (fig. 1, ref. 9) and the protective
band (fig. 1, ref. 10) provide heat protection, for use when
closing the straightening plates (fig. 1, ref. 2) as the appliance
is being put away after use.
