SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This straightening iron is intended for house- hold use. Use on Alternating Current (50/60 hertz) only. This unit is designed to be oper- ated at 120/240 volts A/C. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. DUAL VOLTAGE This straightening iron will automatically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with correct configuration, prior to use in outlet. TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR Hair should be clean and completely dried before using the straightening iron. Plug the iron into an electrical outlet. Turn on unit. The power indicator light should become illuminated. Allow unit to heat up for several minutes. WARNING: The straightening iron's ceramic plates will get very hot within a few seconds and should not be placed in contact with the skin after the straightening iron has been turned on. GETTING STARTED The iron’s 25 temperature settings and Instant Heat technology provide styling versatility for all hair types. If you have fine hair, a low temperature will provide the best results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to- straighten hair, keep the heat setting on high. You can vary the iron’s temperature according to your particular need! Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the iron and place a hair section between the two hot plates, close to the scalp. Do not allow the plates to touch the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. While maintaining the ten- sion, slowly pull the unit down along the shiny, silky hair. The tourmaline ceramic sur- face also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. As you smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth finish. Hair also slips right through the plates after it’s straightened. The new tourmaline ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with, makes styling your hair easier and provides more professional results. And it’s not only simpler to clean styling prod- ucts residue, etc. off after each use – you’ll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straightening.
