OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intended for
household use. This unit is designed to operate
at 120/240 volts AC. Use on Alternating Current
(50/60 hertz) only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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.
DRYING SYSTEM WITH UNIQUE
,
DRY N STRAIGHT
This Wet Dry Straightener features our exclu-
•
sive vent and channel design, allowing for use
on dry or damp hair. When used on damp hair,
excess water is forced into channels where it
can escape as steam. The steam evaporates
through the vents in the housing, while the hair's
natural moisture is sealed into the cuticle.
CAUTION: Steam evaporating through the
vents may be hot. During use, avoid touching
or blocking the vents and direct drying vents
away from your scalp and face.

within a few seconds and should not be
placed in contact with the skin after the

close to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates
by firmly squeezing the handles together. While
maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit
down along the hair section toward the end
of hair. At the end of hair section, release the
pressure on the handle and allow the hair sec-
tion to slide out. Repeat process on additional
sections of hair until you achieve the hair style
you desire. It may be necessary to repeat
process on certain areas, depending on the
texture of your hair or how damp it is.
Some experience is necessary when learning
to use this straightening iron. After using iron
several times, you will learn the ideal way to
straighten and style your hair easily.
