[8]; do not pull or lay it across/on sharp,
pointy objects or hot surfaces.

surface.

• Depending on the temperature setting and
duration of use, the unit can become very

- The unit is shipped with a default
temperature setting for normal hair
(160 °C).

running light in the temperature
display [2].

selected temperature is reached, this is
displayed by a continuously lit LED in the
temperature display [2].
- After about 30 seconds, the straightener
is ready for use.
Adjusting the temperature
• You can increase or decrease the
temperature in 20 °C increments using the
+/– buttons [3, 4].
We recommend the following temperature
settings:
• 120 °C to 140 °C:
- Fine, fragile, coloured or bleached hair
• 160 °C to 180 °C:
- Normal hair
• 200 °C to 220 °C:
- Strong and resistant hair
Note
• The higher the selected temperature, the
more quickly you get the desired result.
• If you work with the maximum temperature,
do not work on the same strands more than
once.
