IMPORTANT:
During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke

SPECIAL ATTENTION:
WARNING:
This multiple-temperature iron has been specially designed to
straighten hair. This iron will be hotter on the HIGH (16-25) settings than regular
dual-heat stylers.
Due to the extreme heat capabilities of this iron, be extra
careful when using.
• Keep heated surfaces away from contact with all skin areas. Do not touch
straightening/pressing plates with fingertips.
• For shorter hair, place a thin plastic comb between scalp and iron to avoid
touching scalp.
• Test small section of hair to determine correct heat setting for type of hair.
PREHEATING:
1. Rest the iron on a smooth, flat surface, and plug in.
2. Turn on, set the temperature control at the desired position, and allow iron to
heat. It takes 60-90 seconds to heat up. For optimum styling temperature, allow
iron to heat for 2-3 minutes before using.
