HOW TO USE

Before You Begin

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

Heat Settings

Take extra care when using a professional styler. To prevent hair damage, make sure to use the correct temperature setting for your hair type.

Styling 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 LCD temperature screen lights up.

3. Adjust the temperature using the +/- buttons. The LCD 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 by pressing the “+” button. If you find that you need a lower setting, adjust the temperature by pressing the “-” button. 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 for a few

seconds to turn the unit off. Then, unplug it, and allow it to cool before storing.
