Usage tips
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and
must always be used with care. If you use the
straightener incorrectly, you could overheat your
hair or even burn it. Always follow the tips in this
section and the steps in the section ‘Straightening
your hair’ below.
Tips
Never leave the appliance unattended
when plugged in.
Always put the appliance on a heat-
resistant surface when it is heating up
and when it is hot.
Only use the appliance on dry or damp hair.
Do not use the appliance on artificial hair.
Do not leave the plates in your hair for more
than a few seconds at a time to prevent
damage to your hair.
Keep the plates clean and free of dust, dirt
and styling products such as mousse, spray and
gel. Dust, dirt and styling products may cause
damage to the nano-diamond ceramic-coated
straightening plates.
If you use the appliance on color-treated hair,
the plates may stain.
The plates have a nano-diamond ceramic
coating. This coating slowly wears away over
time. This does not affect the performance of
the appliance.
The maximum temperature occurs just after
heating up. The actual temperature during use
may be lower.
Straightening your hair
1 Plug the appliance into any 120V AC electrical
outlet.
2 Pull the lock upwards to unlock the appliance
if it is locked (Fig. 3).
3 Press the on/off button.
The default setting of 230 appears on the
display (Fig. 4).
As soon as the appliance has heated up to
this setting, the word ‘READY’ appears on the
display.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it
is plugged in and switched on.
Tip: If you lock the plates with the closing lock, the
straightener heats up more quickly.
4 Select a setting that is suitable for your hair
type.
Select a low setting when you use the
straightener for the first time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair,
select a medium to high setting (350 and up).
For fine, medium-textured or softly waved
hair, select a medium to low setting (330 and
down).
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or
color-treated hair. It is susceptible to damage at
high temperatures.
5 Press the + button to increase the setting
or press the - button to decrease the
setting (Fig. 5).
