the straightener incorrectly, you could overheat your hair or even
burn it. Always make sure you select a temperature that is suitable for
your hair type (Fig. 2).

straightener for the first time.
- For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a medium to high
setting (180 and up).
- For fine, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a medium to low
setting (170 and down).
- Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since
it will be susceptible to damage at high temperature settings.

display.

appliance on a surface that is not heat-resistant when it is heating up and
when it is hot.

the closing lock.

straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance firmly
together.
