► Remove the plug from the mains power socket in case of
operating malfunctions and before you clean the appliance.
► Always pull on the plug to disconnect the appliance from the
mains; never pull on the power cable itself.
► Ensure that the power cable does not become wet or damp
during use. Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be
crushed or damaged.
► If the appliance, the power cable or the plug are damaged,
arrange for them to be repaired by Customer Services to
avoid hazardous situations.

we recommend that you install a residual current circuit
breaker with an activation power rating of no more than
30 mA for the power circuit in the bathroom. Ask your
electrician for advice.

Why use steam for straightening?
The added steam ensures that the hair is straightened gently. Depending on the
hair structure, the hair looks silkier and shinier because of the gentle straightening.
Before straightening
■ The hair should be clean, dry and free of styling products. The only exceptions
to this are special products that promote the straightening of the hair.
■ Comb the hair thoroughly before straightening so that there are no knots in it.

careful that you do not tear the rubber tab to which the rubber closure is
attached completely off the water tank . Pull out the rubber tab only far
enough out of the water tank so that the rubber closure opens and the
filling hole is free.
4) Twist the top off the fill bottle - and guide the tip into the large filler opening
on the water tank . Hold the water tank at a slight tilt when filling it, so
that the water runs downwards.
5) Squeeze the fill bottle - a little so that the water runs into the water tank .
6) When the water tank is filled up to the small opening next to the filler
opening, hold the water tank straight again and remove the fill bottle from the filler opening.
