USING THE STRAIGHTENER
1
Rest the straightener on a smooth, flat surface.
2
Insert the plug into a 230V mains supply.
3
Switch the appliance on by pushing the ON/OFF switch (
A
)
into the ON (
I
) position.
4
The LED light (
B
) goes on to indicate that the appliance is
working.
5
To open the plates, pull out the slide lock (
D
).
Caution: the heating plates reach a high temperature
during use. Take care not to touch these plates and avoid
contact with the skin.
6
To adjust the temperature, use the variable heat control
dial (
C
).
Caution: if you have thin or fragile hair, choosing a too high
setting could damage or even burn your hair.
7
For the best results, use the hair straightener on clean, dry
and tangle-free hair.
8
When straighteners are heated to required temperature,
place a small section of hair between the straightening
plates.
9
Close the plates together and move the straightener slowly
downwards through your hair, keeping the plates firmly
closed together.
10 Repeat this process until the desired effect is achieved.
Using the Ionic function:
11 In order to use the Ionic generation, push the Ionic switch
(
F
) forward, into the
ON
position.
12 By activating this switch, the Ionic ports (
G
) will be exposed
and the straightener will begin to produce negative ions.
13 When you are finished, you can de-activate the Ionic
generation by pushing the Ionic Switch (
F
) backwards. The
Ionic ports will then retract back into the straightener housing.
14 When you have finished with the straightener, push the
ON/OFF
switch (
A
) into the OFF (
0
) position and ensure
the LED light (
B
) goes off.
15 Unplug the appliance after use and let it cool down before
storing.
16 Once plates have cooled, close straighteners and push slide
lock (
D
) back into place.

VO5 have combined ceramic and Tourmaline ionic technologies to ensure smooth, shiny results.
As you straighten your hair, the Heat Defence Professional Ceramic Ionic Straightener
generates negative ions which reduce static electricity and smooth the outer layer of your
hair cuticle to leave your hair looking and feeling soft, smooth and shiny.
The straightener includes:
• thicker 3mm plates for even heat distribution – resulting in less hot spots and less
damage to hair
• true ionic generation for less frizz & more shine
• extra wide and long ceramic coated plates for faster straightening
• ultra fast 20 second heat-up, with a maximum temperature of 230°C.
The extra long 3 metre power cable gives you flexibility, making it easier to reach the most
awkward mirror.
