Important
Plug the appliance into an alternating current outlet only and make sure that your household voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the appliance.
This appliance must never be used near water (e.g. a filled wash basin, bathtub or
shower). Do not allow the appliance to get wet.
For additional protection, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA in the electrical circuit of your bathroom. Ask your installer for advice.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given super vision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 years and supervised.

Getting started
• Connect the appliance to an electrical outlet and push the on/off button (6) for three seconds to turn it on.
• During heat-up, the temperature display (4) shows three red flashing segments [A1].
• After approximately 40 seconds, you can start using the appliance.
• Using the temperature selection buttons (5), you can adjust the temperature within a 5-step range that is represented by segments on the display (4). When changing the temperature setting, the display segments will flash. As soon as the selected temperature is reached, the display segments stop flashing.
A Preparing your hair
• Make sure your hair is completely dry before using the appliance.
• First, comb your hair through with a wide toothed comb to remove tangles [A2].
B How to straighten your hair (Style 1)
For straightening, we recommend the following temperature
settings:
` for thick hair
` for normal hair
` for fine hair
The higher the temperature setting, the faster you will get a
sleek, straight style.
1. Section off a hair strand. Starting close to the roots, take a thin strand (2–3 cm or 2 fingers wide) and clamp it firmly between the styling plates [B1].
2. Gently run the straightener through the entire length of the hair, slowly and steadily, from roots to the ends [B2] without stopping for longer than 2 seconds. This will ensure best straightening results without damaging your hair. The ceramic plates (1) ensure easy and smooth gliding.
• For improved control when gliding along a strand, you may stabilise the appliance by holding it with the other hand on the cool touch points (2).
• You can create flicks at the hair ends by slowly turning the appliance either outwards or inwards before releasing a strand.
C How to create curls (Style 2)
Select temperature setting for fast and reliable styling
results (independently of hair type).
The appliance offers a completely new way of creating curls:
simple, without rolling up hair strands or long waiting times.
Clamp a strand of hair Y Rotate the appliance Y Slowly
guide the appliance away from head towards hair tips
1 Clamp a strand of hair Starting close to head and hair roots, place a strand of hair
(maximum 2 fingers wide) between the ceramic plates and close them.
2 Rotate the appliance Once the strand of hair is in place, rotate the appliance 1–2
times around its own axis so that the strand of hair glides first through the plates and then over the curl shaper (3). For
10
improved handling, you may want to hold the cool touch with your free hand to keep the styling plates pressed together.
3
Slowly guide the appliance away from head towards hair tips
Slowly pull the styler away from head and towards the tips of
your hair. Make sure the complete length of your strand of hair glides over the curl shaper (3). When you pull the appliance beyond the hair tips the strand of hair turns into a curl.
The slower you pull, the more defined the curl will be. The
faster you pull, the looser the curl will be.
For best results
• Do not grip the ends of your hair with the appliance. Instead grip the appliance close to head at the roots of your hair.
• Rotate the appliance around its own axis 1 or 2 times and slowly, pull it towards the tips of your hair and beyond.
Safety auto-off
For safety reasons, the appliance automatically switches off after approximately 30 minutes. If you want to keep on styling, simply press the «on/off» button again (6).
After use
• After each use, switch off the appliance by pushing the on/off button (6) for 1 second.
• Even after switching off, the ceramic plates are still hot. Do not touch them to avoid burnings. Only after 20 minutes cooling time, you can touch the appliance without any risk.
Cleaning
• Always unplug before cleaning. Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and use a soft cloth to dry.
Subject to change without notice.
Please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Centre or at appropriate collection points provided in your country.
