SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For your safety, this appliance complies with the applicable standards and regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Environmental…).
The appliance’s accessories become very hot during use. Avoid contact with the skin. Make sure that the supply cord never comes into contact with the hot parts of the appliance.
If using this appliance in the UK it should not be used in a bathroom. If using the appliance in another country then as an additional safety measure we recommend checking that the voltage of your electricity supply matches the voltage of your appliance. Any error when connecting the appliance can cause irreparable harm, not covered by the guarantee.
As an additional safety measure, we recommend the installation of a residual current difference device in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom, acting at not more than 30 mA. Ask your installer for advice.
The installation of the appliance and its use must however comply with the standards in force in your country.
CAUTION: Never use your appliance with wet hands or near water contained in bathtubs, showers, sinks or other containers…
Do not use this appliance in a bathroom if you are in the UK. If you are outside of the UK and you are using the appliance in a bathroom, unplug it after use as the presence of water nearby may pose a danger even when the appliance is turned off.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Stop using your appliance and contact an Authorised Service Centre if:
- your appliance has fallen.
- it does not work correctly.
The appliance is equipped with a heat-sensitive safety device. In the event of overheating (for example if the rear grill is blocked), the styler will stop automatically. Contact a service agent for further advice (see separate service leaflet).
The appliance must be unplugged:
- before cleaning and maintenance procedures.
- if it is not working correctly.
- as soon as you have finished using it.
- if you leave the room, even momentarily.
Do not use if the cord is damaged.
Do not immerse or put under running water, even for cleaning purposes.
Do not hold with damp hands.
Do not hold the appliance by the casing, which is hot, but by the handle.
Do not unplug by pulling on the cord, rather pull out by the plug.
Do not use an electrical extension lead.
Do not clean with abrasive or corrosive products.
Do not use at temperatures below 0°C and above 35°C.

GUARANTEE:

This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.

GETTING STARTED

Attaching and removing accessories:
Attach all the accessories when the appliance is cold to avoid the risk of burns.

Slot the required accessory into the handle. (Fig 1)
Turn the locking ring on the handle to lock the accessory in place. (Fig 2)

All the accessories are attached in the same way.
To remove an accessory, simply follow the above procedure in reverse order. To change the plates of the crimper or straightener, press the buttons on the sides of the plates and slide the plates as shown in the diagrams. When putting the plates back in position, be sure to clip them as far into their casing as they will go.

Plugging in your hair styler:

When you have attached an accessory to the handle, place the appliance in a stable position on its rest, on a flat surface.
Plug it in and set the On/Off switch to On (position 1). The ‘Power on’ light will come on and the accessory will begin to heat up. (Fig 3)
Wait a few minutes to allow your hair styler to reach its working temperature (1-3 min. for the “iron” accessories; 6 min. for the crimping plates).
When removing accessories, always hold them by the plastic part – the metal parts will be very hot.

OPERATION

Use this product on clean, untangled, DRY hair (to avoid damaging your hair).

STYLING IRONS

Gather a small section of hair (approx. 2 to 3 cm across).
Press the lever to open the tong, then slip the tips of the hair between the roller and the tong.
Release the lever to close the tong. Check that all the hair tips are correctly wound under the tong, in the direction of the curl.
Hold the insulated plastic end with the other hand.
Turn the styler to wind the section of hair around the accessory. Wind the hair, working towards the scalp. Take care not to burn yourself.
Keep the iron in place for around 20 seconds (longer for tighter curls).
Unwind the iron halfway, then open the tong and allow the section of hair to slide free.
Repeat the procedure with different sections of hair to form more curls.

PROFESSIONAL TIPS

To create extra volume: divide your curls using your fingers.
To obtain really tight curls: wind small sections of hair at a time.
For softer curls: wind on more hair.
To prevent flyaway ends: check that the hair tips are trapped under the tong and lying in the direction of the curl.
For a more natural, wavy look: lightly brush or comb your hair once the curls have cooled.

STYLING BRUSH

Fit the styling brush onto the curling iron while cold.
Form a section of hair and wind it around the brush.
Hold it in place for around 20 seconds, then gently unwind it.

PROFESSIONAL TIPS

Allow your hair to cool before styling.
Gather a section of hair approximately 5 cm across, starting at the root of the hair.
Press the lever to open the crimper attachment, and place the hair between the crimping plates.
Close the crimping plates for around 10 seconds.
Release the hair and start again just below the wave that just formed.
Always work from the roots towards the tips of the hair.
To enhance the effect, you can apply styling mousse before crimping.

CLEANING

Unplug your styler and leave it to cool on its stand.
Clean accessories when fully cooled. To clean the handle, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Never allow water or any other liquid to enter the handle.
