If the appliance is not working properly, smells of burning, or if all the LED Temperature Level Display lamps are blinking, stop using it immediately and contact an authorized service center. Do not scratch, break, alter, or excessively bend, twist, or pull the power cord in any way. Also, do not place the power cord under or between heavy objects.

When the appliance is used in a bathroom, unplug it after use since the proximity of water presents a hazard even when the appliance is switched off. For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice. Keep the appliance out of reach of children or invalids. Do not leave the appliance powered on, to avoid ﬁre, discolouration, or warping of nearby objects. Styling will hold for 1 day only. Hair will return to its normal condition after shampoo. Not suitable for those with extremely ﬁzzled or curly hair. Do not store the power cord in a twisted state. Storing the appliance with make up or hair care products still adhered may result in degradation in the plastic and discoloration or cracking, which may in turn prevent the appliance from working properly. To clean the appliance, use a cloth that has been soaked in soap and water and well wrung out.

Tips for best straightening results

Tips for effective styling

If your hair is too wet, it cannot be set properly. Be sure that your hair is no more than slightly damp. If your hair is wet, semi-dry your hair until it reaches the appropriate level of dampness.

●

If your hair has strong curls or is particularly thick or hard, you may not be able to straighten your hair using the styling straightener alone. In this case, applying a commercially available styling product (for hair-straightening) will help with the straightening.

●

1

Brush your hair to ensure it is lying in the same direction.

2

Dampen your hair using a base styling product, water or a wet towel.

In the case of using the styling product, lightly moisten the surface and underlying hair by applying the spray evenly from a distance of approximately 10 cm.

3

For beautiful straightening, bundle and pin to hold your hair in the order shown in the illustration. Although it may appear to be time consuming, it is the fastest way to straighten hair neatly.

Hair types and straightening guidelines

The hair straightening effect may differ according to the individual, such as the degree of curliness and hair type. Straightening tends to be more difﬁcult for hard hair and hair having a ﬂat (oval or triangular) cross-section. This styling straightener is intended to straighten hair only for that day. This styling straightener does not straighten kinked hair.

•

About hair-straightening products

Do not use the styling straightener immediately after a home straight perm liquid is used. Doing so may damage your hair. (The styling straightener may be used 3-4 days after a straight perm liquid. The styling straightener may also be used 3-4 days after having your hair treated at a beauty parlor.) Do not use together with straight perm liquids having the same ingredients (reducing agent) as permanent wave liquids. The reducing agent may damage your hair. Check the back of cosmetic bottles whether liquid contains a reducing agent or not.

•

About dyeing products

Dyeing places great stress on the hair. After dyeing please wait for 2 or 3 days before using the styling straightener. If you use a temporary dye, wash it out and dry your hair before use. It takes some time after dyeing for the color to settle. In the case of the temporary dye, the dye can dirty the styling straightener if it is not fully washed out. Also, your hair cannot be straightened when it is wet.
