Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
Sunbeam are very safety
conscious when designing
and manufacturing consumer
products, but it is essential
that the product user also
exercise care when using an
electrical appliance. Listed
below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use
of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all
the instructions provided
with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off
at the power outlet before
you insert or remove a plug.
Remove by grasping the
plug – do not pull on the
cord.
• Turn the power off and
remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.
2
• Do not use your appliance
with an extension cord
unless this cord has been
checked and tested by a
qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance
from a power outlet of the
voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• This appliance is not
intended for use by young
children or infirm persons
unless they have been
adequately supervised
by a responsible adult to
ensure that they can use the
appliance safely.
• Never leave an appliance
unattended while in use.
• Young children should be
supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the
appliance.
Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions continued
• Do not use an appliance
for any purpose other than
its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance
on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or
on a heated oven. Do not
place on top of any other
appliance.
• Do not let the power cord
of an appliance hang over
the edge of a table or
bench top or touch any
hot surface.
• For safety reasons and
to avoid maintenance by
unskilled persons, some
appliances are ‘sealed’
using tamperproof screws.
Such appliances should
always be returned to
the nearest Sunbeam
Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if
required.
• Do not operate any
electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after
the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in
any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the
appliance to the nearest
Sunbeam Appointed
Service Centre for
examination, repair or
adjustment.
• For additional protection,
Sunbeam recommend
the use of a residual
current device (RCD) with
a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the
electrical circuit supplying
power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the
appliance in water or
any other liquid unless
recommended.

Using your Wet to Dry
Straightener with Ionic
Technology
• Before you start to style
your hair, comb through so
that there are no tangles.
• For best results, towel dry
hair. Do not use on dripping
wet hair.
• Plug in to a suitable supply
and switch on. The top
neon green light will come
on. This is the hottest
setting at 200 degrees.
• There is no need to pre heat
the styler. The styler will get
very hot very quickly so do
not touch with your fingers.
• Apply a styling lotion.
We recommend PPS
professional products.
• Beginning at the back,
use clips to section
the hair. Take a section
6
approximately 5cms wide
and comb or brush it
through. Working from
root to the ends, place the
section between the plates
and squeeze the handle
shut. Be careful not to
touch your skin.
• Hold the styler in place for
3 to 5 seconds depending
on your hair type (3
seconds for fine hair and
up to 5 seconds for thicker
hair).
• Once the hair is heated,
carefully slide the styler
along the direction of
separated hair making sure
that the hair is heated and
straightened all the way to
the ends.
Using your Wet to Dry Straightener with
Ionic Technology continued
• Select another section of
hair and repeat the process
until all the hair has been
straightened.
• Finish with a few drops of
D Frizz Smootheez Serum
from PPS.
• Switch off the appliance
and remove the plug from
the power outlet. Allow
to cool completely before
storing.
• Please note that your styler
can be used on dry hair.
Changing the temperature
settings
• When you plug in and
switch on, the styler will
automatically set at the
hottest setting of 200
degrees (setting 4).
• If you wish to use a
lower setting, push the
temperature control switch.
This will reduce the
temperature to 175 degrees
(setting 3).
• Pushing the switch again
will reduce the temperature
to 150 degrees (setting 2).
• Pushing the switch again
will reduce the temperature
further to 130 degrees
(setting 1).
• Pushing the switch again
will turn the unit off.
• To increase the temperature,
switch the unit back on.
• Allow 30 seconds for each
setting to reach the correct
temperature.
• We recommend that
you do not use a higher
temperature than necessary
to straighten your hair. Start
on a lower setting and move
up if required.
Note: You may hear a hissing

is normal as the styler dries

Ionic Technology
• The built-in ionic generator
automatically produces
a constant stream of
negative ions whenever the
styler is switched on.
• The ion indicator light will
light up whilst your styler
is in use.
Creating Flicks and Curls
• Once the hair is heated, as
you work towards the end
of the section of hair, lift
the styler up and out to

create flicks.
• For a more choppy look,
choose pieces at random.
Auto off function
• For added safety,
your hairstyler will
automatically switch off
after approximately 45
minutes.
• After 44 minutes the LED
will flash to indicate that
you have one minute of
styling left before the
appliance switches off.
• If you want to continue
styling, simply switch
off at the socket and then
on again.
Please note that this is an
added safety feature. Always
switch off after use and
unplug from the mains.
