straightener. This unique flat iron combines optimum styling features with cutting-edge protection. Please carefully read the instructions contained in this booklet, and keep them in a safe place for future reference.

Key Features

Unique steam vent and channel design:

Unique steam vents and channels allow this styler to be safely used on wet or dry hair. The channels extract moisture from damp hair and allow steam to escape through the vents, drying hair and sealing the cuticle at the same time. Creates salon straight, shiny

in less time, with less damage.

hair

Display:

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) indicates the heat setting numerically and with a circle of bars. A steam icon appears when you have selected a setting appropriate for use on wet hair – settings of 16 and higher.

Automatic shutoff:

This styler is equipped with automatic shutoff. This safety feature turns the unit after 60 minutes, in case you accidentally leave it on after styling your hair. Before turning itself off the LCD will flash for 10 seconds, giving you the chance to stop the shutoff process. While the LCD is flashing, simply press the +/- button to use the styler for another 45 minutes. If no button is pressed, the unit will turn itself off when the LCD stops blinking.

Automatic worldwide voltage

This appliance contains a special electronic circuit that automatically converts it for worldwide usage – from 100 to 240 volts AC, 50 to 60 Hz. Just plug it into the local outlet and use it as normal; the styler will automatically adjust to the local current. (You may need an adapter to allow the plug to fit into the local outlets, however.)

Straightening Your Hair

1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess

water. Avoid rubbing hair with a towel, as this creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.

2. Plug the straightener into an electrical

Press and hold the ON/OFF button

outlet. until the unit turns on and the LCD lights up.

3. The straightener will initially heat to

setting 15. Adjust the temperature using the +/- buttons. The bars on the LCD will flash while the unit heats up, then glow steadily when it has reached the selected temperature. The styler will beep three times when it is ready for use.

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. The unit will beep when it reaches the new temperature.

■ While straightening your hair, 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. It will beep when it cools to the lower temperature.

6. Take a small section of hair and comb

through it with a fine-toothed comb. Pull hair down and away from your scalp, and hold it taut.

7. Hold the straightener with the LCD and steam vents facing away from your scalp. 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 speed up drying at the roots, you may wish to run the styler over the first few inches of hair nearest the root several times. Repeatedly run the unit smoothly down the entire strand until hair is fully dried. (NOTE: The unit

may make a steaming/hissing noise when used on damp hair. This is okay! The unique design of this styler will channel the moisture away from hair and out the steam vents.)

9. Repeat with all sections of your hair,

working with the underneath layers first, then the top and sides, until hair is fully dried.

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.
