3. USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Your appliance gets warm very quickly (only 60 seconds) and
the temperature remains stable throughout use:
- Plug the device in.
- Press the on/off switch for 2 seconds (fig. 1B).
- Wait for 60 seconds, the appliance is ready to be used in the
minimum temperature position (120°C) (fig. 2).
For reasons of comfort, we recommend that you hold the
appliance in the middle, close to the buttons.
- Select the ideal temperature for your hair using the – / +
buttons (fig. 1C): press the – button to reduce the temperature
or the + button to increase it. The digital display (fig. 1D)
indicates the selected temperature. As soon as the device
reaches the required temperature, the display stops flashing.
- Determined the appliance off, press the on/off switch for 2
seconds (fig. 1B).
- After use, unplug the appliance and leave it to cool down
completely before putting it away.
PLEASE NOTE: the appliance turns off automatically after
around 40 minutes of operation.
4. USE
Your hair must be untangled, clean and dry (or slightly damp).
• Do not use the appliance on synthetic hair (wigs, extensions,
etc.).
• Form a small lock of hair a few centimetres wide, comb it and
place it between the plates. Squeeze the hair firmly between
the plates (fig. 1E) and slide the appliance slowly downwards
from the root to the tip of the hair (fig. 3, 4, 5).
• If your hair is very thick or curly, you can improve results by
spraying water on the locks before straightening.
• The ceramic coating of the plates protects your hair against
excessive temperatures, by distributing the heat in a uniform
manner.
• Wait until your straightened hair has cooled down before
styling it (fig. 6).
HAIRDRESSER'S TIP
• Always start by the hair at the top: work around your nape
first, then the sides then the front.
• To avoid a stripy effect along the length of your hair,
ensure your movements are supple and continuous.
• To emphasise the effect, you can use a hair styling foam
before straightening.
5. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION! : Always remove the plug and leave the appliance
to cool down before cleaning.
• Never immerse your appliance in water.
• To clean your appliance: unplug it, wipe down with a damp
cloth and dry using a dry cloth (fig. 8).
6. ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION FIRST

can be recovered or recycled.
