Operating Instructions:

• 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.

IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.

Automatic Worldwide Dual Voltage:

• This appliance will automatically adjust to the proper voltage. In North America, connect the plug into any outlet. Outside North America, use a plug adapter of the proper configuration with the plug before connecting into any outlet.

Auto Shut-Off:

• The Auto Shut-off feature is automatically “On” when you turn on the iron.
• The Shut-off feature will automatically turn your iron off, if you forget to do so, in 2 hours. Temperature Memory: Your Flat Iron has a state-of-the-art temperature memory design which will automatically recall the last temperature as your preferred heat setting and will recall the selected heat setting the next time the unit is turned on.

Plate-Locking Switch: For easier storage, the plates of the flat iron can be locked together.

• To engage the locking switch, first turn the appliance off and unplug it.
• Push the switch backward while pressing the handles together to lock the plates.
• To unlock the plates, push the switch forward.

WARNING: DO NOT engage the Plate-locking Switch during styling, and DO NOT lock the plates onto hair, as serious damage to hair or even injury could result.

Start-up:

• Plug the flat iron into an electrical outlet and press and hold On/Off Button.
• The Flat Iron automatically sets to 180°F. Choose your temperature according to your hair type.
• Use the Temperature Select Buttons (+/-) to select the heat level best suited to your hair type.
• Allow the appliance at least 30 seconds’ heating time.

NOTE: Once desired temperature is selected, the LCD temperature display will show temperatures ramping up until the selected temperature is reached.

Helpful Styling Hints

• Hair should be clean and dried completely before using any styling tool.
• Separate a 1-inch section of hair, gently place hair between the Straightening Plates and clamp the straightener down firmly on the hair. You will achieve professional results if you work from the scalp to the ends of your hair.
• Carefully slide the iron along the isolated section, making sure the hair is heated and straightened all the way to the ends. The ends will probably require less heat than the hair which grows closer to the scalp.
• For best results, hold end of hair while smoothing the hair section.
• To create flips or curls, use rounded edge of iron’s Straightening Plates to curl ends out or under.
• To remove hair from the straightener, release pressure and allow the hair to gently slip out from the Straightening Plates.
• The straightening process does not require overlapping. Separate each section of hair and work on it as indicated above.
• Allow hair to cool before combing or brushing.
• Repeat the process until you have achieved the look you desire.
• When styling is complete, press and hold the On / Off Button to turn off. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before storing
