Locking mechanism

The appliance has a locking mechanism for
space-saving storage as well as for quick pre-
heating. To disengage the lock, push the two
arms of the appliance together and move the
locking-catch up. To re-engage the lock, push
the two arms of the appliance together again
and move the locking-catch down.
Before using for the first time
Clean the appliance and the heating plates
before use as described in the section 'General
care and cleaning'.
Operation
- The appliance is designed for use on dry or
moist hair.
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
- Disengage the locking mechanism.
- Use the temperature control to set the
desired temperature level and turn the
appliance on using the On/Off switch. The
heating-up process starts and is shown by
the red indicator light.
■
During the heating phase, the appliance
should be left on a firm, heat-resistant
surface. Re-engage the locking mechanism
to speed up heating.
- The appliance will be ready for use after
about 2 minutes.
- Disengage the locking mechanism.
- Take each strand of hairs as close as
possible to the roots and place it between
the heating plates.
- Bring the two arms together on the hair and
start shaping the hair, beginning at the
roots and working your way out to the ends.
- Open the arms.
- Check whether the result is as desired.
- If you wish the shaping to be more
pronounced, repeat the process and allow
the heat to take effect for a slightly longer
period.
- Switch off the appliance and remove the
plug from the wall socket after use.

Temperature selection

To prevent the hair from being damaged,
always start with a low temperature setting. If
the hair can be straightened at that setting in
two cycles, no further increase in temperature
is necessary, as the optimum setting has
already been reached.
