OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intended
for household use. This unit is designed to
operate at 120/240 volts AC. Use on Alternat-
ing 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 fi t in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the out-
let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fi t,
contact a qualifi ed 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 confi guration, prior to use
in outlet.

STRAIGHTENING BASICS

1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (120/240V). Slide the tem-
perature setting to ON position. The iron will
heat up very quickly. The power indicator
light will remain on when in operation. To
turn off, slide switch to OFF position (light
will go off). Never leave your straightening
iron on and unattended.
WARNING: The straightening iron's
ceramic-coated 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.
Hair should be clean and completely dried
before using any straightening iron.
2. 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. Trap hair between
the plates by fi rmly squeezing the handles
together. While maintaining the tension,
slowly pull the unit down along the hair sec-
tion toward the end of hair. For best results,
use a light styling product before blow-dry-
ing hair. At the end of hair section, release
the pressure on the handle and allow the hair
section to slide out. Repeat process on ad-
ditional sections of hair until you achieve the
hair style you desire. It may be necessary
to repeat process on certain areas, depend-
ing on the texture of your hair.
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.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide ceramic-coated sur-
face.
Hair glides easily over the surface of the plates
as you're straightening. The ceramic-coated
surface also helps smooth down fl yaways
and frizzies. As you smooth each strand, heat
is evenly distributed so that the style you
create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth,
shining fi nish. Hair slips right off the plates
after it's straightened, and the ceramic
surface is easy to clean.
The ceramic technology is a pleasure to work
with because it makes styling your hair
easier and the results more professional.
