Caution
For additional protection, we advise you to install a residual current device

a rated residual operating current not higher than 30mA. Ask your installer for
advice.
The straightening plates and the plastic parts near the plates reach a high

this may cause damage to your hair.
Keep the straightening plates clean and free of dust, dirt and styling products
such as mousse, spray and gel. Dust, dirt and styling products may cause damage
to the nano-diamond ceramic coated straightening plates.
The straightening plates have a nano-diamond ceramic coating. This
coating slowly wears away over time. This does not affect the performance of the
appliance.
If you use the appliance on colour-treated hair, the straightening plates may stain.

Using the appliance
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care.
As with all straighteners that reach salon-high temperatures, do not use the appliance
frequently to avoid damage to the hair. If you use the straightener incorrectly or if you
use it at the wrong temperature setting, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.
Always make sure you select a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair type.

ENGLISH
Straightening
1 Put the plug in the wall socket.
2 Set the on/off switch to ‘I’.
The green power-on light goes on.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.Always put the
appliance on a heat-resistant surface when it is heating up and when it is hot.
3 Turn the temperature wheel to select the required temperature setting (the
thicker the line on the temperature wheel, the higher the setting). Select
a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair type. (Fig. 2)
Always select a low setting when you use the straightener for the rst time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a medium to high setting.
For ne, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a low to medium setting.
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since it is
susceptible to damage at high temperature settings.
4 Let the appliance heat up for at least 30 seconds.
5 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth. (Fig. 3)
Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair in one section.
Tip: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair underneath rst,
followed by the top area.
6 Take a section that is not wider than 5cm. Place it between the straightening
plates and press the handles of the appliance rmly together.
7 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in 5 seconds, from root to
hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating (Fig. 4).
8 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the desired look.
9 Let your hair cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it has cooled down,
as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just created.
