the coating come to the surface of the

the straightener, and are transferred to
the hair during styling.

Usage Tips

Straightening Your Hair

1. Hair should be dry and free of

tangles before using the styling iron.

2. Plug the styler into an electrical

outlet. Press and hold the ON/OFF
button until the unit turns on and the
LED lights up.

3. Adjust the temperature using the

temperature dial. The ready light will
flash while the unit heats up, then
glow steadily when it has reached
the selected temperature.

4. Divide hair into manageable sections

and clip the upper layers on top of
your head and out of the way. Work
with underneath layers first.

5. Test the styler on a small section of

hair, then adjust the temperature up
or down before styling the rest of
your hair.

NOTE:

■ If you find that you need a higher
setting while straightening your hair,
simply adjust the temperature to a
higher heat setting.

■ While straightening your hair, if you
find that you need a lower setting,
adjust the temperature to a lower
heat setting. Because the unit is
already hot, it may take a few
minutes to cool off.

6. Take a small section of hair and pull

hair down and away from your scalp,
and hold it taut.

7. Starting at the roots, clamp hair

firmly between the plates and run
the styler down the entire hair
strand, from root to tip, in one
smooth stroke. Do not hold it in one
area for a long period of time or
damage to hair may occur.

8. To create curves or flicks, rotate your

wrist to turn the iron in toward your
head or out away from your head
as you run the iron down the hair
strand.

9. Repeat with all the sections of your

hair, working with the underneath
layers first, then the top and sides.

10. When you are finished styling, press

and hold the ON/OFF button to turn
the unit off, unplug it, and allow it to
cool before storing.

NOTE:
DUAL VOLTAGE APPLIANCE

■ Confirm the voltage available at each
overseas location before using the
appliance. For connection to a 240­volt supply, use an attachment plug
adapter of the proper configuration
for the power supply receptacle.

Maintenance

Cleaning

■ Make sure the unit is unplugged and
cool. Use a damp cloth to clean the
plates and the outside of the power
handle. No other maintenance of the
unit is required.

Storage

Unplug the unit whenever it is not
in use. Allow it to cool, then store it
out of reach of children in a safe, dry
location.

Never wrap the cord around the
appliance, since this will cause the
cord to wear prematurely and break,
thus voiding warranty. Handle the cord
carefully and avoid jerking, twisting,
or straining it, especially at plug
connections.
