PURPOSE OF USE AND FEATURES OF THE HAIR STRAIGHTENING
IRON
■
The hair straightening iron is intended exclusively for straightening and styling
human hair. It must never be used for styling wigs, hairpieces, synthetic hair or for
straightening animal fur.
■
The iron is equipped with a temperature lock feature that prevents accidental
changes to the temperature while hair is being straightened, and furthermore with
an automatic shut-off function that is activated after 60 minutes of inactivity.
■
The surface of the ironing plates is coated with titanium and enables operating
temperatures from 100 °C to 230 °C. The temperature can be controlled in
10 °C increments.
APPLICATION
TURNING ON AND SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
■
Connect the iron to a power socket. The display
A1
will show OFF.
■
Hold down button
A4
for longer than 3 seconds. The appliance will beep and the
default temperature of 180 °C will be lit on the display and the iron will start heating
up. The blue ionisation function indicator
A6
and the infra-red plate heat indicators
A5
are lit.
■
The temperature can be adjusted in 10-degree increments in the range from
100 °C to 230 °C using buttons
A7
and
A8
.
Note:
If "888" appears on the display, this indicates that there is a malfunction of
the heat sensor or iron. If this happens, disconnect the iron from the power
grid and contact a service centre.
TEMPERATURE LOCK FUNCTION
■
This function prevents accidental changes to the temperature while the iron is being
used. Activate the function by holding down button
A8
for longer than 3 seconds.
The text
LOC
will appear on the display and the set temperature will be locked, i.e.
no button will react when pressed.
■
Deactivate the function by holding down button
A8
for longer than 3 seconds. The
text
LOC
will disappear.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FUNCTION
■
If no action is taken after turning on the iron, i.e. no button is pressed, then for safety
reasons, the iron will turn off automatically after 60 minutes of inactivity. It will start
again after button
A4
is pressed.
Attention:
The automatic shut-off is intended only for cases, where you
forget to turn off the iron using button
A4
. Do not use the
automatic shut-off to intentionally turn off the iron.
TEMPERATURE DEPENDING ON HAIR TYPE
■
The suitable temperature for straightening hair depends on the hair structure.
Depending on the type of hair, an incorrectly selected temperature may cause the
hair to dry out, become brittle or in the worst case to burn. Therefore, first try ironing
at a low temperature (100 °C) and set a higher temperature only when necessary.
■
The information contained in the following table is for reference purposes only. It
may differ depending on hair type.
Hair type
Temperature
Fine, damaged, discoloured, highlighted or dyed hair
100 °C to 150 °C
Normal, lightly wavy hair
150 °C to 190 °C
Very heavy, curly, unyielding hair
190 °C to 230 °C
PROCEDURE FOR IRONING HAIR
■
Wash your hair thoroughly, dry it completely and brush through thoroughly so that
it is smooth and without knots.
■
Separate this prepared hair using clips into equally wide strands (about 5 cm wide).
■
Start to iron the back part of the head at the lower strands of hair – at the root place
the strand of hair between the plates and gently press the handle of the iron. With
a sliding motion pull the iron all the way to the ends of the hair.
■
Repeat the procedure for the same strand of hair until you achieve the desired
appearance.
■
Continue in the same way with the remaining strands of hair (first on the front part
of the head and ending at the sides).
■
Before the final combing, allow the hair to fully cool down.
Attention:
Do not touch the ironing plates - there is a danger of burns!
Do not leave the iron in the one spot for longer than
5 seconds as hair could be burnt.
Use the iron only on healthy hair. Do not use the iron on oily,
stuck together or sweaty hair. On perm or coloured hair only
use the iron infrequently.
Tip:
Adjust the speed of movement of the iron on the hair strands according
to their character (fine hair is more sensitive to a hot surface and
requires a significantly shorter ironing time than stronger hair).
TURNING OFF THE IRON
■
When you have finished ironing, turn off the iron by holding down button
A4
.
A beep will be made and the display will show OFF.
■
Disconnect the iron from the power socket.
Attention:
Allow the iron to fully cool down before storing!
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention:
Clean the ironing plates only after they have fully cooled
down!
No part of the iron may be submerged in water or washed
under running water!
■
To clean the outside parts of the iron and the ironing plates, use a fine cloth
dipped in lukewarm water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, paint thinners
or solvents. Using these solutions could damage the surface of the product. The
surface of the iron plates does not need any further cleaning.
STORAGE
When not using the iron for an extended period of time, do the following:
■
Clean the iron as described in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
■
Place the iron in a safe, dust-free, clean and dry place that is out of reach of children.
