Please note: The appliance temperature settings will lock automatically after 5 seconds. (See Switch Activation Control).

• Take a section of hair and place it between the styling plates.
• Starting at the root, close the plates applying gentle pressure and glide down the section in one smooth movement.
• If you wish to create shape at the ends of the hair, slightly bend your wrist inwards as you reach the end of each section.
• Repeat as necessary through the remaining sections of hair.
• Allow the hair to cool fully before combing through.

Creating Curls

• To select a temperature setting suitable for your hair type, press the '+/-' button. The indicator light will blink until the heat setting selected has been reached. Once the temperature has been reached, the indicator will remain solid in colour.
• Separate a section of hair. The smaller the section the more defined the curl. The larger the section the looser the curl.
• Take the hair section and place between the plates, roughly 3 inches from the roots.
• Holding the appliance handle in one hand, turn the appliance 180° back on itself so that the hair is wrapped once around the outside of the appliance.

Hot surfaces! During use, take care not to bring the appliance into contact with the scalp, face, ears or neck.

• Slowly glide the appliance along the length of hair from root to tip in a downward motion.
• Release the appliance from the hair.
• To ensure the curl sits neatly in place, hold the end of the section you have curled and twist it in the direction of the curl.

Heat Settings

If you have delicate, fine or coloured hair, use the lower heat settings. For thicker hair, use the higher heat settings. It is suggested to always complete a test on initial use to ensure the correct temperature is used on the hair type. Start on the lowest setting and increase the temperature until desired result is achieved.

Below is a guide of the temperature settings:
Setting 1 = 150°C
Setting 2 = 170°C
Setting 3 = 190°C
Setting 4 = 210°C
Setting 5 = 235°C

Advanced Plasma Technology with Dual Ionic System

The moisture balancing dual ionic system combines both positive and negative ions, that work together to hydrate the hair and to eliminate frizz as you straighten. Turning on the appliance will automatically activate the dual ionic system.

Please note: The blue LED light along the plate will illuminate to indicate the ionic feature is activated. The release of ions produces a buzzing noise and in high levels of humidity the occasional low voltage flash of light. This is completely normal.

Auto Shut Off

This appliance has an automatic shut off feature for added safety. If the appliance is switched on for more than 60 minutes continuously, then it will automatically switch off. To continue using the appliance after this time, press and hold the '' button for 1-2 seconds to turn the power on.

After use, switch off and unplug the appliance. Immediately wrap the appliance in the heat wrap provided and allow to fully cool down. Continue to keep it out of reach of children as it will remain hot for several minutes.
