OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

This straightening iron is intended for household use. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. This unit is designed to be operated at 120 volts AC.

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.

To straighten Hair

Hair should be clean and damp or dry before using the straightening iron. Plug the iron into an electrical outlet. Turn on unit. The Power/Low 285ºF default setting will become illuminated.

To turn off, press On/Off button. Never leave your straightening iron on and unattended. However, should you fail to turn the unit off, it will shut itself off automatically within 60 minutes.

WARNING: The straightening iron's tourmaline and ceramic-coated plates will get very hot within a few seconds and should not be placed in contact with the skin after the straightening iron has been turned on.

GETTING STARTED USING

WET•DRY TECHNOLOGY

The iron’s unique 5 ultra-high heat temperature settings and Instant Heat technology provide styling versatility for all hair types. If you have fine hair, a low temperature will provide the best results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to- straighten hair, keep the heat setting on high. You can vary the iron’s temperature according to your particular need!

There are 5 ultra-high heat Wet•Dry temperature settings for every hair type. Use the low settings for wet/damp hair and as your hair dries turn to the medium settings. Once hair is completely dry, use the medium to high settings to complete the styling process.

Temperature Setting Guide

LED TEMP. CONTROL	HAIR TYPE
Power/Low/Wet 285ºF	Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten hair
Medium/Damp 310ºF	Average to thick or treated hair
Med/Dry 330ºF	Thick or wavy hair
High/Dry 360ºF - 395ºF	Hard-to-straighten hair

Start with a hair section that is 11⁄2" 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. For best results, use a light styling product before blow-drying hair. At the end of hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair section to slide out. Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hair style you desire. It may be necessary to repeat process on certain areas, depending on the texture of your hair.

Some experience is necessary when learning to use this straightening iron. After using the iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair.

A bonus heat resistant storage pouch has been included to safely store product away when hot. Great for use at home or when traveling.
