How to Use

How it Works
As you use your straightener, a special blend of micro-conditioners are evenly emitted onto your hair. Micro-conditioners in the coating come to the surface of the plates during heating and operation of the straightener, and are transferred to the hair during styling.

Heat Settings
Take extra care when using a professional styler. To prevent hair damage, make sure to use the correct temperature setting for your hair type.

Usage Tips

Straightening Your Hair

1. Hair should be dry and free of tangles before using the styling iron.
2. Plug the styler into an electrical outlet. Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the unit turns on and the LCD lights up.
3. Adjust the temperature using the temperature buttons. The display will flash while the unit heats up, then glow steadily when it has reached the selected temperature. The unit will beep when ready.
4. Divide hair into manageable sections and clip the upper layers on top of your head and out of the way. Work with underneath layers first.
5. Test the styler on a small section of hair, then adjust the temperature up or down before styling the rest of your hair.
   NOTE:

• If you find that you need a higher setting while straightening your hair, simply adjust the temperature to a higher heat setting.
• While straightening your hair, if you find that you need a lower setting, adjust the temperature to a lower heat setting. Because the unit is already hot, it may take a few minutes to cool off.

6. Take a small section of hair and pull hair down and away from your scalp, and hold it taut.
7. Starting at the roots, clamp hair firmly between the plates and run the styler down the entire hair strand, from root to tip, in one smooth stroke. Do not hold it in one area for a long period of time or damage to hair may occur.
8. To create curves or flicks, rotate your wrist to turn the iron in toward your head or out away from your head as you run the iron down the hair strand.
9. Repeat with all the sections of your hair, working with the underneath layers first, then the top and sides.
10. When you are finished styling, press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before storing.
    NOTE: Make sure the switch lock function is unlocked or the unit will not turn off.

Dual Voltage Appliance
Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location before using the appliance. For connection to a 240-volt supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle.

Dual Voltage Use
This appliance contains a special electronic circuit that automatically converts it for worldwide usage-from 120 to 240 volts AC, 50 to 60 Hz. Plug it into the local outlet and use it as normal; the styler will automatically adjust to the local current. (You may need an adapter to allow the plug to fit into the local outlets.)

Maintenance

Cleaning

• To clean the unit, be sure the unit is cool and unplugged. Wipe the handle and plates with a damp cloth. No other maintenance is necessary.
• Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
  Note: This appliance has no user servicable parts.

Storage
Unplug the unit whenever it is not in use. Allow it to cool, then store it out of reach of children in a safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord around the appliance. This will cause the cord to wear prematurely and break, thus voiding the warranty. Handle the cord carefully and avoid jerking, twisting, or straining it, especially at plug connections.
