IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Warning: When the straightener is used in a bathroom,
unplug it after use since the proximity of water presents a
hazard even when the straightener is switched off.

When using electrical appliances, especially when children
are present, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
DANGER – As with most electrical appliances, electrical

parts are electrically live even when the switch is off.

To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:

• Always unplug it immediately after using.

• Do not place or store an appliance where it can fall or be
pulled into a bath or sink.

• Do not use while bathing.

• Do not place or drop into water or other liquid.

• If an appliance falls into water, “unplug it” immediately.
Do not reach into the water.

For additional protection, the installation of a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying
the bathroom. Ask your electrical contractor for advice.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,
ELECTROCUTION, and FIRE, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.

• Your straightener should never be left unattended when
plugged in to a power outlet.

2

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Keep the appliance and the power cord away from the edge of
table or countertops and out of reach of children and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.

• This appliance is not a toy. Children shall be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in
this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by
Remington.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agents or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.

• Do not use on people who are asleep.

• Never drop or insert any object into any opening of this
appliance.

• Do not use outdoors or where aerosol (spray) products are
being used or where oxygen is being administered.

INTELLIGENT SENSOR

Press the ∞ button to activate the Intelligent Sensor. If the
Intelligent Sensor is on during styling, the indicator light will come
on indicating the sensor is monitoring the hair temperature and
continually adjusting the heat output, helping prevent overheating.
These temperature changes are not displayed on the product but
happen quickly and automatically during styling.

WHAT IS SHEA OIL?

Shea Oil is an extraction from the nut of the African Shea tree.
Shea Oil is proven to provide protection against harmful U.V. rays
from the sunlight.

WHAT ARE U.V. FILTERS?

U.V. Filters are known to form a protective barrier to absorb
harmful U.V. rays from the sunlight before it penetrates and
damages your hair.

BASIC HAIR CARE INSTRUCTIONS

For optimal results, shampoo and condition your hair prior
to straightening, then dry your hair thoroughly and make sure that
it is tangle free.

HOW TO USE YOUR REMINGTON

INFINITE PROTECT

STRAIGHTENER

Carefully place the straightener on a flat, hard, heat resistant
surface ensuring the sides of the plates do not come into contact
with the surface. Plug in to any household (120/240V AC) power
outlet. Press the power on/off button.

The digital temperature display will flash indicating that the
straightener is heating. When the temperature of the plates
has reached the temperature selected the LED light will remain
steady. Press the “+” temperature increase button to increase
the temperature. Press the “-” to decrease the temperature. The

5

lowest temperature setting is 150°C, and the highest temperature
setting is 230°C. The straightener will be ready to use in 30
seconds depending on the temperature selected.

Take extra care when using the straightener, as it can get very
hot. It is important to establish the correct temperature for your
hair type prior to use to prevent damage to your hair. If in doubt,
start with a low temperature setting first using the variable
temperature button and increase the heat gradually.

NOTE: The Infinite Protect Straightener is not suitable for use on
synthetic wigs or hair extensions.

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES

Temperature Hair type

150°C - 170°C Thin/fine, damaged or bleached hair

190°C - 210°C Normal, healthy hair

210°C - 230°C Thick and difficult to style hair

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

The Infinite Protect Straightener features automatic voltage
adjustment for international dual voltage (120/240V) use.
Plug the unit into any domestic power outlet and it will adjust
automatically to the voltage being supplied.

NOTE: Some countries will require the use of a plug adaptor that
is not included with your straightener.

TURBO BOOST FUNCTION

This straightener features a turbo boost function which will
automatically select the highest temperature of 230°. To operate
the turbo boost function, press and hold the “+” temperature
increase button for 2 seconds.

CAUTION: the highest temperature is not suitable for every hair
type. If you plan to use this straightener on the boost setting of
230°C please test on a small section of your hair first.

6

TEMPERATURE LOCK

This straightener has a temperature lock to prevent the selected
temperature from being accidentally altered during use. When
the selected temperature has been reached, simply press and
hold the “-” temperate decrease button for 2 seconds. This will
lock the current heat setting and a padlock icon will appear in
the temperature display window. To unlock the temperature lock,
simply press and hold the “-” temperate decrease button for 2
seconds.

MEMORY FUNCTION

Each time you use the product it will automatically set itself to the
last temperature used.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT OFF

If the straightener is not used for a period of 60 minutes
(temperature is constant) it will automatically shut off.

TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR

• Ensure your hair is completely dry.

• To make styling easier, part the hair either in the middle or to
the side and use clips to section your hair; top, sides and back.

• You may need to comb through your hair before straightening
to ensure that it is tangle free.

• Start at the nape of the neck and straighten the underneath
sections of hair first. When the underneath sections of hair
are complete, move to the next layers, finishing with the hair
around the part line.

• Take about a 5cm section of hair and pull taut and down and
away from the scalp. Holding the straightener with the other hand,
start at the roots and clamp the hair firmly between the plates.

• Firmly holding the plates together, run the straightener down
through the entire length of the section of hair from roots to
ends, in one smooth stroke.

7

• Repeat until the desired amount of straightening has been
achieved.

MAINTENANCE

This straightener is designed for household use and is virtually
maintenance free. If cleaning becomes necessary, disconnect
the unit from the power outlet, allow it to cool, and then wipe the
exterior surface and the plates with a soft damp cloth. Do not
immerse the unit in any liquid. Do not use an abrasive cleaning
fluid or material to clean the ceramic coated plates as this will
scratch the surface.

STORAGE

When not in use, always unplug the straightener from the power
outlet. Allow the straightener to cool and store out of the reach
of children in a safe dry place. Never wrap the power cord
around the straightener since this will cause the cord to wear
prematurely and break. Handle the cord carefully for long life
and avoid jerking, twisting or straining especially at the plug
connections. If the cord becomes twisted in use, periodically
straighten it.

WARNING: Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins or

other vessels containing water.

As with all electrical appliances, the power cord must be regularly

checked for wear and tear. Immediately cease using this product if the

power cord shows any signs of damage.

This product conforms to radio frequency interference requirements.

Any product purchased and used commercially carries a limited 90 Day Warranty.
