operation
Ensure that hair is completely dry before using the ghd appliance.
1. Plug the ghd styler into the power supply. The ghd styler will momentarily flash
around the ON/OFF switch and beep to indicate that it is connected to a power
supply and is in standby mode.
2. To turn on the ghd styler, press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 1 second.
The ghd styler will play a short start-up tune and a light will pulse to indicate that
the styler is heating up.
3. IMPORTANT: the ghd styler reaches the required temperature in seconds,
so be careful not to touch the heater plates. Once the ghd styler has reached
temperature, it will bleep and the light will remain illuminated to indicate that
it is ready to use.
4. When you have finished your styling session, press and hold the ON/OFF button
until the ghd styler plays the shut-down tune. Once turned OFF, unplug the ghd
styler from the power supply and allow it to cool in a safe place.
The ghd styler has the following safety features:
1. Sleep mode: if the ghd styler has been left on and has not been used for
more than 30 minutes, a safety feature will automatically turn the styler off.
The styler will play the shut-down tune, the heating plates will start to cool
and the light will slowly pulse.
a. To re-start the ghd styler while it is in sleep mode, simply re-press
the ON/OFF button for at least 1 second until the start-up tune sounds.
b. Note that although the ghd styler is turned off, it is still connected to the
mains and should be unplugged from mains electricity at the earliest opportunity.
2. Protect Mode (ghd Max only): the ghd Max styler can protect itself against
adverse events or power fluctuations. For safety the heaters will turn off,
the ghd Max styler will emit a bleep and the light will flash white every five
seconds. If this occurs un-plug and re-plug at the power supply and then
re-start.
3. Fail safe: in the unlikely event of a control system error, for safety the
heaters will turn off, the ghd styler will emit rapid bleeps and the light
will flash red every 5 seconds. If this occurs switch off the ghd styler at
the power supply and re-start. If the unit does not re-start or the problem
persists, contact ghd Customer Service for advice.
