the window at the bottom of the appliance.

b) Remove the long red plug by turning it as
indicated.
c) Fill the reservoir with water (tap water only).

position «1».
c) Wait 3 to 4 seconds.
d) Shift switch (A) further up to the «start» position
until you can clearly hear a click.
This starts heating up the appliance.
e) Let the switch slide back to position «1».
f) After approx. 1 to 2 minutes the ready indicator
dot (B) turns dark (model C20S may take
approx. 2-3 minutes to heat up). Only then is the
Independent heated up to the optimum styling
temperature and ready for use.
5 Styling
Braun Independent offers various styling functions:
a) The tong (D) is ideal to create all different kinds
of curls, but also to smoothen and straighten
small sections of your hair.
b) With the round styling brush attachment (F) you
can create soft waves, choppy styles, flicks and
curl the hair ends under.
6 Steaming (model C20S only)
The steam function of the Braun Independent
Steam can be used with all attachments. To add
steam to a section of hair, press down the top
of the water reservoir for approx. 2 to 3 seconds
(you will feel a click). Steam will be released from
the openings of the tong, giving the hair just the
required amount of natural moisture for a longerlasting and healthier-looking style.
