Use
• Plug the unit into an electrical out-
let and press the on/off button to
turn it on.
• Use the digital control buttons (+/-)
to select the desired temperature.
You can use the temperature set-
ting guide as a reference. It is not
necessary to touch the iron to judge
readiness.
This straightening iron becomes
very hot, especially when set to
maximum. We recommend always
establishing the hair type before
straightening and always test it on
a strand of hair to check that the
setting is appropriate for the hair.
The plates heat up very quickly
and should not touch the skin or
scalp. We recommend keeping the
iron about 1 cm from the scalp at
all times and to use the heat finger
shields while using the appliance
and to lay it on its silicone heat mat
to protect your surfaces.
• After use, press the on/off button
to turn the unit off and then unplug
the unit. Press and hold for a sec-
ond to turn off.
• Allow the unit to cool on its silicone
heat mat before storing.
• If the unit remains unused for
longer than about 72 minutes, the
auto shut-off will turn the unit off;
this option increases the life of the
barrels and provides greater safety.
Straightening basics
• Section dry hair evenly and comb
each section. Position the iron
as far up as you want hair to be
straightened, being careful not to
let the iron touch the scalp. Close
the iron with the hair between the
two plates and gently pull the iron
down to the end of the section of
hair you are straightening.
• Repeat this process several times, if
necessary. Let the hair cool before
combing.
Styling tips using straightener
For short, spiky looks, use gel or
spray and hold the sections up
and away from the head while you
straighten.
For smoothing and taming curly hair
or creating a stylish, smooth bob, use
the straightener just on the ends,
leaving the hair wavy at the roots for
lift and body. For this type of effect,
keep the straightener moving while
following the shape of the hair style.
Curling
For looser waves, close and lock the
iron and use it as a wand. Wrap dry
hair around the front housing and
hold for a few seconds to create a
looser, free-flowing wave. For tighter
curls, turn iron 180° (top-down) and
start close to the root or wherever
you want the curl to start.
Lightly hold hair between plates and
turn the iron as you move it down
the strand. The slower the turn, the
tighter the curl. Adjust the angle to
create different types of curls. For
zig-zag styles, open the iron, wrap
hair around plates/ housing in a
figure 8, hold for a few seconds and
release. For flip and bend waves, turn
