CERAMIC COATING
The heating plates have a ceramic coating. This
produces a smooth, even surface. The advantages of
this coating are:
- It improves the sliding action across the hair.
- The plates heat up much faster and stay at a constant
temperature suitable for hairstyling.
OPERATION
Place the hair straightener on a flat, heat-resistant
surface and plug it in.
To switch the power, hold down the ON/OFF switch at
least 2 seconds (Fig. 2).
The standard temperature of the appliance is 130°C,
"Ready" is flashing when the temperature is not ready.
As soon as the set temperature is reached, "Ready"
stops flashing (Fig. 3). You can now start straightening
your hair.
When you have finished straightening your hair, switch
the appliance off by using the ON/OFF switch, unplug
it and let the appliance to cool down before storing.
Appliance can be used with dry hair or with damp hair.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
By pressing ▲ or ▼ button you can change the
standard temperature in 10°C steps from 130-230°C.
The current temperature is indicated by the numeral on
the LCD (Fig. 4). If the temperature falls momentarily
during use, the appliance will heat back up again
("Ready" flashes).
When pressing ▲button and hold it for 2 seconds, the
present setting will be jumped to the highest setting
(Fig. 5).
NOTE: If you switch the appliance off and then on
again, the temperature defaults to 130°C.
STRAIGHTENING FUNCTION
Heat treatment should only be applied to healthy hair. It
is not recommended for weak hair or hair that has been
recently bleached, as this may have weakened it.
Unlock both heating plates, set slide button (Fig. 1).
Damp hair preparation: Towel-dry hair, ensure there is
no excess water left. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE
ON DRIPPING WET HAIR.
DO NOT USE TEMPERATURE HIGHER AS 140°C
WITH DAMP HAIR.
With damp hair, hot steam is emitted through the holes
while hot plate touches the hair (Fig. 8).
Once the hair straightener has reached the set
temperature, divide the hair into strands, select one
strand of hair and place it between the plates. Hold the
plates closed for a few seconds, floating plate can help
the hair full contact with the plate, pulling downward
from the roots to the tip, in a single even movement the
strand of hair should be kept straight when doing this
to prevent it from becoming wavy. It may be necessary
to repeat this procedure two or three times on medium-
length or long hair (Fig. 6).
When somebody else is helping you with the
straightening, the wide support area will help them to
keep the plates closed.
Repeat the process with the rest of the hair, working
strand by strand.
NOTE: Never leave in one place longer than 2
seconds.
KEY LOCK FUNCTION
Press ▼ button and hold it for 2 seconds to put into the
key lock mode, then ▲ or ▼button will be locked and
the LCD will appear a lock symbol (Fig. 7). This function
can help you to lock the setting as you want.
Then press ▼ button and hold it for 2 seconds to
release. The ▲ or ▼button will be re-active and the
lock symbol will be disappeared on the LCD.
NOTE: Key lock function will not influence the ON/OFF
switch.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF
This hair straightener has an automatic switch off
safety feature. After approx. 45 minutes the appliance
automatically switches to standby mode, the numeral
is still displayed.
To reactivate the appliance, you can:
- Switch it off and on again with the ON/OFF switch, or
press ▲ or ▼ button within 15 minutes, otherwise the
appliance turns off completely.
- Unplug the appliance and plug it again.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
