•When igniting the styler please ensure it is held away from
the hair, face and clothing. Do not ignite the styler whilst
it is in the hair. Do not cover the brush end (heating rod) of

Important Information

Follow these instructions carefully to insert or change the Braun
energy cell. Never insert or change it near an open fire or flame.
1The switch must be set at
the «0» (= off) position.
2Remove the end cap by
turning in the direction
of the arrow.
3Insert the Braun energy
cell into the styler handle.
Important: The arrows on
the energy cell indicate
which way it should be
inserted.
Push the cell firmly up into
the styler handle. Replace
the end cap and turn it in
the opposite direction to
the arrow, which should
end in line with the dot.
Use only Braun energy cells which are specially designed for
your styler. They are available in two sizes (maxi = 25 ml and
mini = 12.5 ml) from the store where your Braun gas styler was
purchased, as well as from authorised Braun Service Agents.
The energy cells can be changed at any time, even if they are
only partly filled.

Important: For the maxi
size energy cell, use the
long end cap (b), use the
short end cap (a) for the
mini energy cell.
4Before each use, look
through the translucent
end to check the gas
level. Change the energy
cell when empty (see
instructions above).
5Remove the protective
cover and place on the
handle to make the
handle longer.
Important: The protective
cover cannot be used as a
handle extension together
with the long end cap, i.e.
not with the maxi Braun
energy cell.
The cool tip is released when the protective cover is removed.
The cool tip allows you to hold the appliance at either end
when rolling-up a curl without burning yourself.
6To use as a styling tong:
remove the brush by
pressing the tab and pull-
ing the brush off. To put
back on: slip the brush
over the barrel and push
the tab firmly into the slot,
until it clicks into place.

How to use

7Turn on the gas flow by
setting the switch to
the «1» position. Wait for
5 seconds.
8Pull the starter back until
you hear an audible
«click». The on/ready
indicator will then light
up, confirming that the
heating system is on. The
on/ready indicator con-
sists of two illuminated
dots on the tong.
Note: Do not ignite the appliance in your hair and do not
cover the brush end (heating barrel) of your styler with your hand
during the start-up procedure or there may be a short ignition
flash.
9The styler heats up fast
and after approximately
60 seconds the on/ready
indicator will turn off. The
product has now reached
the optimal styling tem-
perature and is ready for
use.
A thermostat maintains
the optimal styling tem-
perature – curl after curl. The «ready» sign may briefly flash
during styling, whenever the appliance is heated up again to
maintain the constant temperature.

In the unlikely case
that the styler does
not heat up, make
sure the gas is on and
push the starter again.

moving the switch to
the «0» position and
push the handle of
the styler out of the
protective cover, as
indicated.
Turn the protective
cover around and
place it firmly over the
styler. The protective
cover is heat resistant
– it is not necessary to
wait for the styler to
cool down first.
