Thank you for purchasing the

Remington

wet2straight

™

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

hair in less time, with less damage.

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

damp to wet hair – settings 16 or higher.The

LCD also has a background light to help find

the ideal setting by hair condition and type. A

blue light is best for dry hair, purple for damp

hair, and red for wet hair. The light changes

from blue to purple to red as the heat setting

is increased.

Automatic shutoff:

This styler is equipped with automatic

shutoff. This safety feature turns the unit

off

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.)

Triple Protection:

Products with Triple Protection from

Remington

have an exclusive Teflon

plus

Ceramic coating and Ions for the ultimate

defense against damage for superior shine.

1. Teflon

coating:

Non-stick Teflon

coating glides through

any type of hair, preventing static, sticki-

ness,

and build-up of mousse, gels, and

hair sprays for smooth, shiny results –

every time.

2. Ceramic coating:

Ceramic protects against damaging hot

spots with high, even heat to lock in

moisture and create long-lasting styles.

3. Ionic conditioning:

Negative ions are created, neutralizing

positive ions to reduce static and the frizz

leaving your hair looking shiny and

healthy.
