settings:

The higher the temperature setting, the faster you will get a
sleek, straight style.
1. Section off a hair strand. Starting close to the roots, take a
thin strand (2–3 cm or 2 fingers wide) and clamp it firmly
between the styling plates [B1].
2. Gently run the straightener through the entire length of the
hair, slowly and steadily, from roots to the ends [B2] without
stopping for longer than 2 seconds. This will ensure best
straightening results without damaging your hair. The ceramic
plates (1) ensure easy and smooth gliding.
• For improved control when gliding along a strand, you may
stabilise the appliance by holding it with the other hand on the
cool touch points (2).
• You can create flicks at the hair ends by slowly turning the
appliance either outwards or inwards before releasing a strand.
