OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intended for household use. This unit is designed to operate at 120/240 volts AC. Use on Alternating Current (50/60 hertz) only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
DUAL VOLTAGE
This straightening iron will automatically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with correct configuration, prior to use in outlet.
DRYING SYSTEM WITH UNIQUE
WET • DRY DESIGN
This Wet • Dry Ceramic Straightener features our exclusive vent and channel design, allow- ing for use on dry or damp hair. When used on damp hair, excess water is forced into chan- nels where it can escape as steam. The steam evaporates through the vents in the housing, while the hair’s natural moisture is sealed into the cuticle.
CAUTION: Steam evaporating through the vents may be hot. During use avoid touching or block- ing the vents and direct drying vents away from your scalp and face.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
Plug the straightening iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press “On/off” button. The iron will heat up very quickly. The indicator light will remain on. To turn off, press “On/off” button (light will go off). To achieve faster styling, we have added a unique option at Turbo Heat™ on/off feature. Press the Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/68°F more heat for maximum styling performance. Never leave your straightening iron on and unat- tended.
WARNING: The straightening iron's ceram-
Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the iron and place a hair section between the two hot plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the end of hair. At the end of hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair sec- tion to slide out. Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hair style you desire. It may be necessary to repeat pro- cess on certain areas, depending on the texture of your hair or how damp it is.
Some experience is necessary when learning to use this straightening iron. After using iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair easily.
NOTE: Please refer to the temperature setting guide for heat settings, especially if using your iron on wet hair.
