This does not affect the performance of the appliance. If you use the appliance on colour-treated hair, the straightening plates may stain. The maximum temperature occurs just after heating up. The actual temperature during use may be lower. Tip: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair underneath first, followed by the top area. 5 Takeasectionthatisnotwiderthan4cm.Place itbetweenthestraighteningplatesandpressthe handlesoftheappliancefirmlytogether. 6 Slidethestraightenerdownthelengthofthehairin 5seconds,fromroottohairend,withoutstopping topreventoverheating(Fig.4). 7 Repeatthisprocessafter20secondsuntilyouhave achievedthedesiredlook. 8 Letyourhaircooldown.Donotcomborbrushit beforeithascooleddown,asthiswouldruinthe hairstyleyouhavejustcreated. 9 Pushtheon/offslideto`OFF'andunplugthe applianceafteruse.Puttheapplianceonaheatresistantsurface.

Le revêtement en céramique des plaques présente une usure normale au fil du temps. Cela n'a aucune incidence sur les performances de l'appareil. Si vous utilisez l'appareil sur cheveux colorés, il est possible que les plaques lissantes se tachent. La température maximale est atteinte juste après l'opération de chauffe. La température effective peut diminuer au cours de l'utilisation.
