OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intended
for household use. This unit is designed to
operate at 125/250 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 fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to de-
feat this safety feature.
DUAL VOLTAGE
This straightening iron will automatically
adjust to the proper voltage. Use an adapter
plug with correct configuration, prior to use
in outlet.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (125/250V). Press ON but-
ton. Red and green lights will blink alternate-
ly. When ready to use, green light will remain
on and red light will turn off. The iron will
heat up very quickly. To turn off, press OFF
button. Green light will go off. Red light will
remain on as a safety precaution to indicate
the iron is still plugged in. 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.
Start with a hair section that is 1” wide and
no more than 1/8” thick. Open the iron and
place a hair section between the two hot
plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between
the plates by firmly squeezing the handles
together. While maintaining the tension,
slowly pull the unit down along the hair sec-
tion toward the end of hair. At the end of hair
section, release the pressure on the handle
and allow the hair section to slide out. Re-
peat process on additional sections of hair
until you achieve the hair style you desire. It
may be necessary to repeat process on cer-
tain areas, depending on the texture of your
hair or how damp it is.
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.
NOTE:
Please refer to the temperature
setting guide for heat settings.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide ceramic surface, the lat-
est in technological advances. The ceramic
even heat distribution produces the ultimate
in healthy, shiny, silky hair. And it’s not only
simpler to clean styling products residue, etc.
off after each use, you’ll find that hair glides
easily over the surface of the plates as you’re
straightening. The ceramic surface also helps
smooth down flyways and frizzies. As you
smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed so
that the style you create has a salon-perfect,
silky smooth, shining finish. Hair also slips
right through the plates after it’s straight-
ened.
Our curved plates not only create the
straightest strands you can get, but
also perfect flipped ends. The specially
designed curved edge of the iron plates al-
lows you to flip hair up or down as you like it!
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to
work with, makes styling your hair easier and
provides more professional results.
