[. . . ] ThermoCeramic heating elements heat up in seconds and ensure a high and constant temperature. Before After STEP 1: DRYING YOUR HAIR ¼ After you have shampooed and conditioned your hair, comb through gently using a wide toothcomb. ¼ Before you apply a heat protection spray, use your hairdryer to `waft' the excess moisture from your hair. If you apply a styling product on very wet hair, you may dilute the product, making it less effective. [. . . ] Choose either setting I or II dependent on the temperature you require. The temperature you need will depend on the thickness of your hair and the result you want to achieve. The red indicator light will illuminate when you select the heat setting required. Once the straightener has reached a temperature suitable for use, the light will begin to flash. Ensure your hair is thoroughly dry before you begin styling ­ this will avoid damage to the hair. 7. Always do this when the straightener is switched off and has cooled down. WIRING The product is fitted with a 13A (BS1363) plug. Check the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be AC (Alternating Current). If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance the plug should be removed and an appropriate one fitted. IMPORTANT: THE PLUG, REMOVED FROM THE MAINS LEAD, IF SEVERED, MUST BE DESTROYED AS A PLUG WITH BARED FLEXIBLE CORD IS HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED INTO A LIVE SOCKET OUTLET. 4. Clamp a section of the hair between the straightening plates, as close to the roots as possible. Avoid leaving your hair clamped inside the straightener for more than a few seconds, as this could cause unnecessary damage to the cuticle. To create movement in the hair, use your wrist to shape the ends either inwards our outwards depending on the style you wish to achieve. CLEANING YOUR STRAIGHTENER Over time, you will find a natural build up on your straightening plates. This can be caused by natural oils in your hair and styling products and lotions. At the first sign of build up, you should clean your straightening plates. To do this, always switch your straightener off and wait for them to cool down. Failure to do this may mean the build up becomes burnt onto the straightening plates and they will become difficult to clean. If your straightening plates do become discoloured it will NOT affect their performance. 2. Do not leave the plates in contact with the hair for more than a few seconds. The straightener reaches very high temperatures, so there is no need to leave the hair between the plates for longer than a few seconds. [. . . ] Try and use your straightener for as short a time as possible ­ prolonged use can cause unnecessary damage to your hair. SAFETY INFORMATION When using your hair straightener, basic safety precautions should always be followed. Please read these instructions carefully before using the product, and keep them in a safe place for future reference. This straightener is of professional standard, and reaches very high temperatures. [. . . ]
