INSTRUCTIONS

The Salon Hair Straightener is intended for household use. Use
on alternating current (50/60Hz) between 120 volts AC and 240
volts AC.

Note: This appliance has Automatic Worldwide Voltage. It will
automatically adjust to the proper voltage if outfitted with a cor­rectly configured adapter plug (not included) prior to plugging
into outlet.

QUICK START

1. Plug the appliance into a polarized wall outlet.

Note: As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other) which fits in a polarized out­let one way only. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

2. Slide the POWER switch located above the handle to the ON

position. The power indicator light will illuminate.

3. Allow unit to heat up for several minutes.

WARNING: The metal plates become very hot within a few sec­onds and should not come in contact with the skin after the
straightening iron has been turned on. Keep heated surfaces
away from eyes.

To Straighten Hair

Hair should be clean and completely dry before use.

1. Select a section of hair that is 1” wide and no more than 1/2”

thick.

2. Open the iron and place a hair section between the two hot

plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by
firmly squeezing the handles together.

INSTRUCTIONS

3. Maintaining tension, slowly pull unit down along the hair sec-

tion to hair end.

Note: For best results, use a light styling lotion before blow­drying hair.

4. At the end of hair section, release pressure on the handle

until hair slides out.

5. Repeat the process on additional sections of hair until desired

hairstyle is achieved. Depending on hair texture, it may be
necessary to repeat the straightening process on certain areas.

Note: Straightening and styling proficiency increases with use.

To Remove Comb Attachment

The Removable Comb Attachment provides tension and guides
hair during the straightening process.

1. To remove the comb, turn iron off and allow it to cool.

2. Hold iron firmly with one hand and slide comb away from

the iron with the other hand.

3. When replacing the comb, align it with the slot on the side of

the iron. Slide comb into position, ensuring it is securely locked.

To Straighten Hair

To clean:

Please keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust. If
cleaning becomes necessary, be sure to unplug the unit and
allow it to cool. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe unit
clean.

To Store

Unplug the straightening iron from the outlet and allow it to cool
before putting it back in its box or in a clean, dry place. Store
out of reach of children.

Note: Do not allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted
or severely bent. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appli­ance. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into
the appliance, causing it to rupture and short. Inspect the cord
frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible
or if unit stops or operates intermittently.

Maintenance

IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS
OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF,
YOU'RE WRONG.
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER.

Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous
combination. But did you know that an electric appliance is
still electrically live even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the
power is on. So when you are not using your appliances, keep
them unplugged.

ALWAYS UNPLUG SMALL
APPLIANCES.
