BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE STRAIGHTENER!

• Remove the water reservoir from the straighteners by pressing the «RELEASE» button located on the top of the straighteners (fig.1).
• Fill the water reservoir with distilled water,
• Check that the reservoir is properly positioned and closed,
• Check that your hands and the outside of the reservoir are dried well.

(If you have to fill the reservoir a second time, unplug the unit and replace the reservoir immediately after filling it making sure you don't touch the hot plates).
Let the unit heat up for at least 2-3 minutes before using the steam function.
Avoid any contact between the hot surfaces and your face or neck. Make sure you don't direct the steam at your face or neck.

USE: I PRO 230 STEAM

• Plug the BaByliss I pro 230 steam straightener in and press the ON/OFF (1) button. Wait a few minutes until the straightener has heated up. You will also notice that the unit sputters slightly, this sound is normal for a high output ion generator.
• A green LED will light up, an indicator light for the lowest temperature, the green LED (3) indicates your straightener's ionic function.
• Select the desired temperature using the temperature selectors (2). A lower temperature is generally recommended for fine, bleached and/or damaged hair, and a higher temperature for curly, thick and/or difficult to style hair. Since every hair type is unique, we recommend you use position 1 (green LED) the first time you use it. Progressively increase the temperature, if necessary, during the following uses. See picture for reference purposes only: the LED of the selected temperature blinks until the temperature is reached, then it remains lighted during the whole using time.
• USING WITH STEAM: switch the steam function on (5). Select the desired output according to your hair type. Also use the untangling comb (7) which will let you spread your hair evenly between the teeth of the comb and to untangle your hair with ease. Select the desired height beforehand. On first use, or if the unit has not been used for a while, start up the steam function by closing and opening the unit 7 to 8 times (a pumping action).
• USING WITHOUT STEAM: the straightener can also be used without steam, all you need to do is slide the switch into the 'no steam' position or use it with an empty reservoir.
