INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron is intended for
household use. This unit is designed to
operate at 125/250 volts AC. Use on
Alternating 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 defeat 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.
TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR
Hair should be clean and completely dried
before using the straightening iron. Plug
the iron into an electrical outlet. Turn on
unit. The power indicator light should
become illuminated. Allow unit to heat up for
several minutes.
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.
GETTING STARTED
The straightening iron’s 25 temperature
settings and Instant Heat 60 second heat-up
technology combine to provide styling
versatility for all hair textures. If you have
fine hair, a low temperature will provide the
best results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-
to-straighten hair, keep the heat setting high.
You can vary the straightening iron’s temper-
ature according to your particular need!
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1. Plug the straightening iron cord into
any household outlet (125/250V, red light
to go on). Press “ON” button. The iron
will heat up very quickly. The green indi-
cator light will stop blinking and remain
on when the iron is ready to use. To turn
off, press “OFF” button (green light will go
off). Never leave your straightening iron
on and unattended.
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 firmly squeez-
ing the handles together. While maintain-
ing the tension, slowly pull the unit down
along the hair section toward the end of
hair. For best results, use a light styling
lotion before blow-drying hair. At the end
of hair section, release the pressure on
the handle and allow the hair section to
slide out. Repeat process on additional
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 CERAMIC
TECHNOLOGY EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an Easy-Glide ceramic-coated surface,
the newest technology.
This means it’s not only simpler to clean
off styling product residue after each use,
but you’ll also find that hair glides easily
over the surface of the plates as you’re
straightening.The ceramic-coated surface
also helps smooth down flyaways and
frizzies. As you smooth each strand, heat
is evenly distributed so that the style you
create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth,
shining finish. Hair slips right off the
plates after it’s straightened.
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure
to work with because it makes styling
your hair easier and the results more
professional.
REMOVABLE COMB
Your straightening iron includes a removable
comb attachment. The hard bristle comb will
help to provide tension and guide your hair
as you use the straightening iron. To remove
or attach the comb, turn unit off and allow
unit to cool. Hold unit firmly with one hand;
with your other hand, slide comb away from
the iron to detach it. When attaching the
comb, align it with the slot on the side of the
iron and slide comb into position. Make sure
the comb securely locks into position.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This straightening iron features INFINITI’s
Instant Heat technology. It heats up to the
temperature you’ve selected for your hair
type in just 60 seconds and is then ready
to use.
Within this Instant Heat technology there
are 25 variable temperature settings for
every type of hair, from the finest to the
curliest and most resistant. Select the
temperature range that’s suitable for that hair
type to help you create the look you want.
And that’s not all. INFINITI’s professional
salon standards of engineering provide
you with a Uniform Heat Recovery System
that maintains the straightening iron at a
constant temperature.
There is a constant surge of power to
ensure that heat is continuously delivered
for optimal styling results, unlike other
units which lose heat during use. This
provides consistent styling power so that
every strand of your hair is set with the
same level of heat and comes out the
same way for a perfect finish.
