in the illustration (arrows on energy cell pointing
outward). Push the handle with the energy cell
back onto the appliance until it snaps into place.
The energy level in the cell can be checked through
the window at the bottom of the appliance.
Only use Braun energy cells. These are available
from the store where this appliance was pur-
chased, as well as from authorised Braun Service
Agents. The energy cells can be taken out or
changed at any time, even if they are only partly
filled.
3 Filling the water reservoir for the
steam function (model C20S only)
a) Pull the transparent water reservoir (C) off the
appliance as shown.
b) Remove the long plug by turning it as indicated.
c) Fill the reservoir with water (tap water only).
d) Replace the plug.
e) Re-insert the water reservoir until it snaps into
place.
f) A full water reservoir will last for approx. 20
steam shots.
Note:
For storage and travelling, make sure
you always empty the water reservoir
after use. Otherwise drops of water
may get into the appliance which
may affect the heating process. After
the appliance dries it will work
normally again.
4 Switching on
a) Remove protective cover (G)
b) To start the energy supply shift switch (A) up to
position «1».
c) Wait 3 to 4 seconds.
d) Shift switch (A) further up to the «start» position
until you can clearly hear a click.
This starts heating up the appliance.
e) Let the switch slide back to position «1».
f) After approx. 1 to 2 minutes the ready indicator
dot (B) turns dark (model C20S may take
approx. 2-3 minutes to heat up). Only then is the
Independent heated up to the optimum styling
temperature and ready for use.
Note:
In the unlikely case that the styler does not heat
up, make sure the gas is on and push the starter
again.
5 Styling
Braun Independent offers various styling functions:
a) The tong (D) is ideal to create all different kinds
of curls, but also to smoothen and straighten
small sections of your hair.
b) With the round styling brush attachment (F) you
can create soft waves, choppy styles, flicks and
curl the hair ends under.
6 Steaming (model C20S only)
The steam function of the Braun Independent
Steam can be used with all attachments. To add
steam to a section of hair, press down the top
of the water reservoir for approx. 2 to 3 seconds
(you will feel a click). Steam will be released from
the openings of the tong, giving the hair just the
required amount of natural moisture for a longer-
lasting and healthier-looking style.
7 The styling attachments can be put on and off
as shown.
