About the temperature control system
Standby mode
At temperature setting of 230 °C, 200 °C and 180 °C, if the
straightener is left unused for approximately 10 minutes, the
temperature will automatically lower to 160 °C.
The indicator light will blink alternately
between 230 °C, 200 °C, or 180 °C
and 160 °C
Once the straightener is used again, or the [-] or [+]
temperature setting switches are pressed, the temperature
will return to 230 °C, 200 °C, or 180 °C.
The 230 °C, 200 °C, or 180 °C
light will blink and then light up.
(Depending on use, it may light
up without fl ickering.)
►Note
● Place hair in the center of the iron plate to use.
(If hair is placed on edge of the iron plate, the straightener
may not be able to detect it is in use.)
Automatic shut OFF function
This unit will automatically turn off when 60 minutes have
passed from the start of use.
The power will shut off even if you are using this unit, so in this
event, please turn on the power once again.
After using this unit, even if you forget to shut off the power,

About ion
Ions are particles that combine negatively charged oxygen
and moisture in the air, and cannot be seen through the naked
eye.
(Ion generation method: High-voltage discharge)
►Notes
● You may notice a characteristic odor when using this
appliance. This is caused by the ozone it generates and is
not harmful to the human body.
● A humming noise may come out of the Ion Outlet, but this is
the sound of ion being discharged and is not a malfunction.

Styling order
About hair-straightening products
• Do not use the straightener immediately after a home
straight perm liquid is used. Doing so may damage your
hair. (The straightener may be used 3-4 days after a
straight perm liquid. The straightener may also be used
2
4
13
3-4 days after having your hair treated at a beauty parlor.)
About dyeing products
• Dyeing places great stress on the hair. After dyeing please
wait for 2 or 3 days before using the straightener. If you
use a temporary dye, wash it out and dry your hair before
use.
• It takes some time after dyeing for the color to settle. In the
case of the temporary dye, the dye can dirty the
straightener if it is not fully washed out. Also, your hair
cannot be straightened when it is wet.
Start styling from the bottom of the back
of your head in the order of 1 to 2 and
3 to 4.
