OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intend­ed for household use. This unit is designed to operate at 125/250 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.

constant temperature. There is a constant surge of power to en­sure that heat is continuously delivered for optimal styling results, unlike other units which lose heat during use. This provides consistent styling power so that every strand of your hair is set with the same level of heat and comes out the same way for a perfect fi nish.
USER
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, allow to cool 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 fl ex 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 store out of reach of children in a safe, dry lo-
cation. Do not jerk or strain cord at plug connections.
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

it can escape as steam. The steam evapo­rates through the vents in the housing, white the hair’s natural moisture is sealed into the cuticle. Once done or before using your hair straightener on dry hair, press the WET button again to go back to the normal dry hair setting. 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.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any household outlet (125/250V). Press “ON/OFF” button (red light will go on). The iron will heat up very quickly. The green indicator light will indicate that the unit is set to the WET setting. To turn off, press “OFF” button (red light will go off). Never leave your straightening iron on and un­attended.
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 1" wide and no more than 1/8" 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 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.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron have an easy-glide ceramic surface, the latest in technological advances. The ce­ramic even heat distribution produces the ultimate in healthy, shiny, silky hair. And it’s not only simpler to clean styling prod­ucts residue, etc. off after each use, you’ll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straightening. The ceramic surface also helps smooth down flyways and frizzies. As you smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair also slips right through the plates after it’s straightened. Our Omega plates not only create the straightest strands you can get, but also perfect flipped ends. The specially designed curved edge of the iron plates al­lows you to flip hair up or down as you like it! The new ceramic technology is a pleasure
to work with, makes styling your hair easi
-
er and provides more professional results.
