2.Insert crepe-/flat iron (9) or one of the curling irons (12) in the socket in the handle and press firmly into place.

2.Switch on by pushing the on/off switch (4) towards the white symbol (above). The indicator lamp (6) will light and remain on as long as the apparatus is on.

Setting the temperature

The apparatus has three settings: off (black symbol, bottom), medium temperature (black/white symbol, middle) and high temperature (white symbol, top).

Temperature can be regulated by pushing the on/off button up and down.

Using crepe-/flat iron

Use the adapter (10) to change accessories such as flat- or crepe irons. Push down until the arrow is aligned with the two straight lines – the accessory is now a flat iron. Push the adapter up until the arrow is aligned with the two wavy lines – the accessory is now a crepe iron. When the adapter is aligned with the dot in the middle the crepe-/flat iron is locked.

Using curling irons

There are three different sizes of curling iron: The thinnest gives tight curls and the thickest loose curls. The larger the amount of hair treated at a time, the looser the curls will be. You can also make curls softer using the brush accessory (13) and spiral accessory (14) (see below).
