SWITCHING ON

– Place the tongs on a flat surface with the counter rest extended.
– Plugin the tongs.
– Select the right temperature for your hair:
If your hair is fragile or fine, use setting 1.
TIPS: This setting is strongly recommended when you first use the tongs.
If your hair is strong and healthy, use setting 2.
– The tongs will be ready to use after 1 minute 30 seconds.
– To switch off the tongs set the switch to 0.
NB: Do not forget that the tongs may still be hot: to avoid the risk of burns do not touch the barrel. The tongs will be safe to handle after approximately 20 minutes.

USING THE TONGS

Before you use the tongs

• Make sure your hair is completely dry before you use the tongs.

• Use a long-toothed comb to eliminate any tangles.

• Separate your hair into sections (max. 3 cm in width) To curl your hair

• Press the direction of the turn button so that the barrel rotates and the clamp is facing you.

• Open the clamp by pressing the clamp release.

• Place the end of your section of hair between the clamp and the barrel. TIPS: If you prefer, you can also place your hair between the clamp and the barrel halfway up the section. Then slide the tongs gently to the end of your hair.

• Press the lever to close the clamp. Your hair is ready to curl.

• Press the button to start winding. The tongs will wind your hair around the barrel automatically.
  NB: See illustrations 9 & 10 to better find the direction your hair is wound.
  TIPS: Tilt the tongs slightly so that the section of hair is wound along the barrel. Pull the tongs away from you so that your hair is kept taut.

• When your hair is wound around the barrel, release the winding button. For safety reasons, the barrel will wind back a short distance.

• Hold the tongs in place for approximately 10 seconds.

To release your hair:

• Hold the tongs upright.
• Without pulling the tongs downwards press the reverse winding button to unwind half the section. WARNING! Be careful not to pull the tongs down when you are doing this.
• Press the lever to open the clamp.
• Slide the tongs downwards to release the curl.
• Repeat these steps to create more curls.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION FIRST!
