General Instructions Parts Diagram 100% Pure-Ceramic Plates Stainless Steel Finish Five Ultra-High-Heat Levels with LED Temperature Display Power Requirements This straightening iron is intended for household use. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. This unit is designed to be operated at 120 volts A/C. 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. Temperature Setting Guide Temperature Control Power/Low 284°F Medium 311°F Medium-High 338°F High/Max. 365°F - 392°F Hair Type Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten hair Average-to-thick or treated hair Thick or wavy hair Hard-to-straighten hair 10 To Straighten Hair 1.Before using the straightening iron, hair should be clean and completely dry. 2.Plug the straightening iron into an electrical outlet. 3.Turn on the unit. The Power/Low 284°F setting illuminates. Allow the unit to heat up for 30 seconds. WARNING: The straightening iron's pure ceramic 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. The iron features five ultra-high-heat temperature settings and Instant Heat technology that provide styling versatility for all types of hair. If you have fine hair, a low temperature provides the best results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to-straighten hair, keep the heat setting on high. You can vary the iron's temperature according to your particular need. Start with a hair section that is 1" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the iron and place a section of hair between the two hot plates, close to the scalp. Trap the hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. While maintaining 11 To Straighten Hair the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the section of hair toward the end of hair. For best results, use a light styling product before blow-drying hair. At the end of the hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair to slide out. Repeat the process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the desired hairstyle. It may be necessary to repeat the process on certain areas, depending on the texture of your hair. Some experience is necessary when learning to use this straightening iron. After using the iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair. A bonus protective heat-shield storage pouch has been included to safely store the product away when hot. Great for use at home or when traveling. Styling with the New Pure-Ceramic Technology Easy-Glide Plates The plates of your new straightening iron have an easy-glide pure-ceramic surface, the newest technology. This means it's not only simpler to clean off styling-product residue, etc. after each use, but you'll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the 12 Styling with the New Pure-Ceramic Technology Easy-Glide Plates plates as you're straightening it. The pure-ceramic surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. It evenly distributes heat so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair also slips right through the plates after it's straightened. The new ceramic technology makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional. Ionic Conditioning® The ionizing function generates positive ions that can: ·N eutralize the generally negative charge on frizzy hair ·H elp eliminate static ·R emove dulling particles in the hair ·C ontribute to shine 13 Using Instant Heat, the Five Ultra-High-Heat Temperature Settings and Uniform Heat-Recovery System This styling iron features a ceramic heater that maintains its temperature during use for precision styling. The iron is ready for use in 30 seconds. This Instant-Heat technology has five ultrahigh-heat temperature settings. There is a temperature range that's gentle and safe for every type of hair, from the finest to the curliest and most resistant, and it helps you create the look you want. The improved heat-recovery system maintains the iron at constant temperatures. There is a constant surge of power to ensure that heat is continuously and quickly delivered for optimal styling results, unlike other units that lose heat during use. This provides consistent styling power so that every strand of your hair is set with the same level of heat for a perfect finish. Maintenance The straightener is virtually maintenance-free.
