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

This Wet • Dry Ceramic Straightener features

our exclusive vent and channel design, allow­ing for use on dry or damp hair. When used on
damp hair, excess water is forced into chan­nels 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.

• DRY DESIGN

WET

CAUTION: Steam evaporating through the vents

may be hot. During use avoid touching or block­ing the vents and direct drying vents away from
your scalp and face.

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

WARNING: The straightening iron's 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.

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 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 or how damp it is.

STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES

The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide ceramic-coated surface,
the newest technology.

Hair glides easily over the surface of the plates
as you’re straightening. The ceramic-coated
surface also helps smooth down flyaways
and frizzies. As you smooth each strand, heat
is evenly distributed so that the style you
create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth,
shining finish. Hair slips right off the plates
after it’s straightened

The new ceramic technology is a pleasure
to work with because it makes styling your
hair easier and the results more profes­sional.

MAINTENANCE

Your straightening iron is virtually
maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed.
Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and
dust. If cleaning becomes necessary, discon­nect the unit from the power source, and wipe
exterior with a cloth. If any abnormal condition
occurs, unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and
return it for repair to an authorized service rep­resentative only. No repairs should be attempted
by the consumer.

CAUTION

NEVER allow the power supply cord to be
pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap
the cord tightly around the appliance. Damage
will occur at the high flex point of entry into
the appliance, causing it to rupture and short.
Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop
use immediately if damage is visible or if unit
stops or operates intermittently.

STORAGE

When not in use, your appliance is easy to
store. Allow appliance to cool, then simply
put back in the box and store out of reach of
children in a safe, dry location. Do not jerk or
strain cord at plug connections.

WARNING:

IF YOU THINK

THE POWER IS OFF

WHEN THE SWITCH

IS OFF,

YOU’RE WRONG.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

Everyone knows that electricity and water
are a dangerous combination. But did you
know that an electric appliance is still
electrically live even if the switch is off?
If the plug is in, the power is on. So when
you are not using your appliances, keep them
unplugged.

ALWAYS UNPLUG
