Operation

Before Straightening

• The hair should be clean, dry, and free of styling products. Exceptions are special products that provide heat protection or help with straightening under heat.
• Comb the hair thoroughly before straightening to ensure there are no knots.

Turn On/Off and Select Heat Level

❗ ATTENTION! During operation and for cooling, always place the appliance on a non-combustible surface. This must also be observed during the heating process!

1. If necessary, remove the protective cap 8.
2. The appliance is secured by the lock 6. Press the heating plates 1 together and slide the lock 6 from the ? symbol to the ? symbol to unlock. The appliance can then be opened.
3. To switch on the appliance, slide the ON/OFF switch 3 from "0" to the desired heat level. Select one of the following settings:

   Level	Temperature	Recommended Use
   "I"	160°C	For fine or slightly wavy hair.
   "II"	180°C	For normal hair.
   "III"	200°C	For stronger styling effects.

The indicator lights 2 show the selected temperature level and the appliance's operational readiness. The heating plates 1 begin to heat up.

ℹ️ Note: If you have colored or damaged hair, select a low temperature level. Note that straightening hair too frequently or too intensely with heat can damage the hair!

4. Let the appliance heat up. The indicator light 2 flashes during the heating process. Start straightening as soon as the indicator light 2 is continuously lit.
5. To switch off the appliance, slide the ON/OFF switch 3 back to "0". The indicator light 2 goes out.
6. Let the appliance cool down before storing or cleaning it! Then press the heating plates 1 together, slide the lock 6 from the ? symbol to the ? symbol to lock. Place the protective cap 8 onto the appliance so that the open sides rest against the heating plates 1 (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

ℹ️ Note: The appliance is equipped with an automatic shut-off system: If the appliance is secured by the lock 6 but still switched on, the automatic shut-off will activate after approx. 3 minutes. The appliance will switch off automatically. The automatic shut-off is for safety only and does not replace switching off the appliance using the ON/OFF switch 3! If you wish to continue straightening, you must switch the appliance back on.

Straightening Hair

ℹ️ Note: The heating plates 1 must be free of dirt. If necessary, clean them before use as described in the "Cleaning" chapter.

1. Prepare the hair as described in "Before Straightening".
2. If you wish to straighten all your hair, start with the lower sections at the back of your head. If necessary, divide the entire hair into several sections and secure them with clips or similar. Then work from the sides towards the front. Separate a strand of hair approx. 2 cm wide, hold the tips of the strand firmly with one hand, and pull the strand slightly taut.

⚠️ CAUTION! Be careful not to touch the scalp or face with the heating plates 1. Never touch the heating plates 1 or the upper part of the hair straightener during use! Risk of burns!

3. Clamp the strand of hair close to the scalp between the heating plates 1 and press them together.

Fig. 2

4. Straighten the entire strand of hair by gliding the appliance downwards from the root to the tips (see Fig. 2). Do not leave the appliance in one spot for more than 2 seconds to avoid over-stressing the hair. You can shape the hair tips slightly by rotating the appliance outwards or inwards. Release the hair tips when you have reached the end of the strand with the appliance, so you don't burn your fingers. Proceed in this way with each strand of hair you wish to straighten.
5. When you have achieved the desired result, switch off the appliance.
6. Let the appliance cool down completely before cleaning or storing it.

Cleaning

⚠️ DANGER! Risk of death from electric shock! Before each cleaning, disconnect the USB power adapter from the mains socket and the charging cable from the appliance!

Never immerse the appliance and the USB charging cable 7 in water or other liquids! Ensure that no water or moisture penetrates the inside of the appliance!

⚠️ CAUTION! Let the appliance cool down before cleaning. Risk of burns!

❗ ATTENTION! Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents for cleaning the appliance. These can damage the surface and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

1. Wipe the appliance and the cooled heating plates 1 with a slightly damp cloth.
2. For stubborn dirt, apply a mild cleaning agent to the cloth. Remove cleaning agent residue with a slightly damp cloth.
3. Wipe with a dry cloth afterwards and let the appliance dry thoroughly before using or storing it again.
4. Rinse the protective cap 8 in lukewarm water with a little dish soap. The protective cap 8 must be completely dry before being used again.

Storage
