TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
The styling temperature will depend on your hair’s texture and condition.
Generally, for fine, bleached or hair in poor condition, use lower settings. For
normal hair, use higher settings Once your flat iron reaches the temperature you
select, it maintains it all through styling.
CAUTION: Care should be used when
using this appliance on damaged or color treated hair.

on. The green light is the temperature light. When the unit is first turned on, the
green light will be on. As it starts heating up, the green light will begin to blink.
