- While heating the thermostat may cycle (the indicator light turns on and off). This is not considered to be a defect.
- Turn the regulator only in the range of level 120 to 200 oC. If you turn the button too much using force, you can damage the regulation system.
Hair straightening
Use the hair straightener for washed and dried or slightly damp hair, never
for wet hair. Before using the hair straightener, comb the hair so that it is
not disheveled. Start with styling the lower hair first. When styling hair, do
not put locks of hair that are too thick between the plates. Divide a lock in
about 5 cm of its width and put it into an open hair straightener. Then close
the hair straightener by pushing and move it slowly on the lock from roots
towards hair tips. You can curl the tips thanks to round edges of the plates
upwards or downwards. Repeat the process till you have created the required
hairstyle.
Let the hair cool down before the final styling.

The lock is used for safe and effective storing of the straightener in the
closed position. Locking – close the straightener by pushing control A8 to the
position .
Unlocking – push the closed straightener control A8 to the position .
