Before connecting this product to the socket outlet, make sure the voltage stated on the label of
the product corresponds to the voltage in your wall socket.
Never use accessories, which have not been supplied with this product or which are not designed
for this product.
Do not place the power cord near hot places or sharp objects. Do not place heavy objects on the
power cord. Position the cord so that it will not be stepped on or tripped over. Make sure the
power cord is not touching a hot surface.
If the power cord of the product is damaged have it repaired by an authorised service technician
to prevent causing a dangerous situation. It is forbidden to use the product if it has a damaged
power cord or plug.
Do not disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet by pulling the cord.
In no case should you attempt to repair the unit yourself, do not make any amendments to it
- danger of electric shock! Entrust all repairs and adjustments to a specialised company/service.
Failure to do so will expose you to a danger of voiding the warranty policy.
Never use the product if you have wet hands or feet.
Only store and use the product away from flammable or volatile materials and solutions.
This product is designed for indoor use, do not use outdoors.
Do not use the product for purposes other than those intended.
Do not spray the product with water or any other liquid. Do not pour water or any other liquids
onto the product. Do not submerge the product in water or in any other liquid.
Make sure the product will not come in contact with water. Never use the product near
a bathtub, wash basin or any other containers filled with water.
If you are not using the product, or if you know that you will not be using it soon, turn it off and
disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. Prior to cleaning, proceed in the same manner.
Never leave the product switched on without supervision.
Before storing always allow the product to fully cool down.
If the product is operating or has not fully cooled down, do not place it on soft underlays (e.g.
carpets, bed linen, towels, etc.) and never cover it.
Do not use the product in an environment with excessive dust.

21) Use extra care if the product is used near children. Always keep the product out of the reach of
children.
22) Prevent the product from coming into contact with skin.
23) Never use the iron on synthetic hair or on animal fur.
24) Thoroughly clean dust, fats and hairdressing agents (e.g. gels, mousse, sprays, etc.) from the
flattening plates after each use — these lower the performance and lifetime of the plates.
25) For increased safety we recommend you install a protective device against residual voltage with
a sensitivity up to 30 mA (talk to your electrician about installation options).
INTRODUCTION
The pads for your hair iron are made of a special combination of ceramics and tourmaline. Tourmaline
pads radiate infrared radiation through the hair which causes quick heating and ionization. This
enables you to perform quick and healthier hair styling.
WHAT IS TOURMALINE?
Tourmaline is a rare mineral with unique ionization and infrared properties. Tourmaline together with
the ceramics are coated on the surface of the ironing pads in a form of an extra fine powder. Thermal
finishing gives the surface its typical and hard surface. Tourmaline radiates negative ions and infrared
heat naturally. When heated, it creates an electrical field of negative ions. The secret lies in evenly
spread tourmaline on the surface of the ceramic ironing pads. When heated, the majority of negative
ions and infrared heat is naturally released and spread around the ceramic pads.
Why are negative ions so important?
Negative ions near the surface create a velvet like and smooth hair look and maintain natural
moisture. They protect the colour and shine of the hair while protecting against humidity. Negatively
charged ions also eliminate static electricity from the hair surface and the hair remains stable, silky
and without waves and curls.
Why is infrared heat so important?
Infrared heat penetrates inside the hair and warms it up evenly. It is a different type of heat from
that which heats up the surrounding air. Infrared radiation penetrates deep inside the hair, instead
of the surrounding air which makes the hair more elastic, soft and easier to manage. Less heat is
concentrated on the hair surface which lowers the amount of damage to the hair. At the same time,
hair moisture is maintained.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Connecting and setting up the iron
1) Connect the iron to a power socket.
Note:
Do not touch the ironing surfaces - there is a danger of burns!
2) Set the desired temperature using the dial.
3) Press the main ON/OFF switch to turn on the iron. ON is indicated by a short beep and a blue flash
in the area of the temperature dial (1x per 2 seconds).
4) The achievement of the working temperature is indicated by a short tripple beep and by
a permanent blue light in the area of the temperature dial.
5) Now you may proceed to the actual ironing of your hair.
This hair iron is equipped with an automatic error detection function - in such a case the iron will
beep twice per second, while at the same time flashing blue in the area of the temperature dial. It will
now not be possible to turn off the iron with the main ON/OFF switch and so it is necessary to turn it
off by pulling the power cord out of the power socket and to take it to an authorised service centre.
Turning off the iron
After finishing working with the iron, turn it off by holding down the ON/OFF switch for about
3 seconds. OFF is indicated by a short beep. For safety reasons the iron will also turn itself off
automatically after 60 minutes of operation.
Note:
Allow the iron to fully cool down before storing!

Procedure for ironing hair
1) Thoroughly wash the hair, dry the hair and brush through thoroughly so that it is smooth and
without knots.
2) Separate this prepared hair using clips into equally wide strands (about 5 cm wide).
3) Start to iron the back part of the head at the lower strands of hair — at the root place the strand
of hair between the plates and gently press the handle of the iron. With a sliding motion pull the
iron all the way to the ends of the hair.
4) Repeat the procedure for the same strand of hair until you achieve the desired appearance.
5) Continue in the same way with the remaining strands of hair (first on the front part of the head
and ending at the sides).
6) Before the final combing, allow the hair to fully cool down.
Note:
A e Do not leave the iron on the one spot for longer than 2 seconds as hair could be burnt.
e Use the iron only on healthy hair.
e Do not use the iron on oily, stuck together or sweaty hair.
e On perm or coloured hair only use the iron infrequently.
Q- Tip:
e Adjust the speed of movement of the iron on the hair strands to their character (fine hair
is more sensitive to a hot surface and requires a significantly shorter ironing time than
stronger hair).
Appropriate temperature settings for various types of hair:
1) For straightening rough, curled or hard hair:
e set a higher temperature (180° C to 230°)
2) For fine, slight to medium curled hair:
e set a lower temperature (120° C to 180° C)
3) For blended or coloured hair:
e start at a low temperature and gradually increase it

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean the outside parts of the product and the ironing plates use a fine cloth dipped in lukewarm
water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, paint thinners or solvents. Using these solutions could
damage the surface of the product. The surface of the iron plates made from a tourmaline ceramic
surface does not need any further cleaning.
Note:
Clean the ironing plates only after they have fully cooled down!
