GUARANTEE
Your appliance is designed for use in the home only. It should not be used for professional purposes. The guarantee becomes null and void in the case of improper usage.

GETTING STARTED

!IMPORTANT! For enhanced safety, your appliance possesses a system for locking the plates. The appliance cannot heat up when these are closed.

• Plug in the appliance
• To open the clamps (A), press the “Lock System” button (C) [Fig. 1]
• Press the lateral slides (D) and slide the plates (E) outwards, until they latch in place [Fig. 2]
• The “on” indicator lights up (B), and the appliance begins to heat up
• Wait for 60 seconds; the appliance is ready to use
• Unplug the appliance after use
• To close the clamps, slide the plates inwards using the lateral slides [Fig. 3]; press the clamps together and press the “Lock System” button to lock them closed [Fig. 4] You can store the appliance in its heat-resistant case (G), immediately after use in complete safety.

OPERATION

Use this product on clean, untangled, dry (or slightly damp) hair.

• Do not use the straighteners on synthetic hair (wigs, extensions, etc.).
• Take a small section of hair, a few centimetres in width, comb it and place it between the plates. Grip the hair firmly between the plates and slowly slide the appliance from the roots to the tips of the hair (Fig. 5)
• If your hair is very thick or frizzy, you can improve the result by spraying your hair with water before straightening.
• The ceramic plates protect your hair from excessive heat, thanks to an even distribution of the heat.
• Wait until your straightened hair has cooled down before styling (fig. 6).

PROFESSIONAL TIPS

• Always start with the layers of hair underneath: first those at the nape, working around to the sides then the front.
• To avoid kinks in long sections of hair, use a fluid, continuous movement.
• To enhance the effect, you can apply styling mousse before straightening.

CLEANING

CAUTION! Always unplug your straighteners and let them cool down before cleaning them.

• Never submerge the straighteners in water.
• To clean the straighteners, unplug them, let them cool down then wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a dry cloth.

ENVIRONNEMENT PROTECTION FIRST!

Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled. Leave it at a collection point.
