If you have set the timer to 8, for example, the appliance
styles the section of hair for 8 seconds.
To protect your hair, always start with the lowest
temperature setting, and then increase the temperature
only if needed. The lighter, thinner or more sensitive the
hair is, the lower the temperature should be to protect the hair. This
also applies for bleached or coloured hair. A higher temperature
can be selected for very thick, curly hair. Spend a little time
experimenting to find out what effect the different settings have on
your hair. The outcome will also depend on the length of your hair.
 Press the button to finish setting the appliance.
 The heating process will begin automatically.
If no buttons are pressed for 4 seconds, the appliance will
exit the settings mode.
