Thank you for purchasing the
Remington

®

wet2style™ styler.
This unique curved plate 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 design:

Unique steam vents allow this styler to
be safely used on wet or dry hair. The
vents allow steam to escape, drying hair
and sealing the cuticle at the same time.
Creates salon smooth, 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 120 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 Ceramic plus

Teflon

®

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, sticki­ness,

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.
