WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
- An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
- Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by, on, or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
- Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
- Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped, damaged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to a service center for examination and repair.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.
- Never block the air openings of the appliance or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the like.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
- In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”.
- The symbol ( square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
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.

- Thoroughly comb your hair so that there are no knots in it.

- Press the temperature buttons (+/–) to select another operating temperature between 120 and 230 °C (240 and 450 °F) (12 settings).
- The product heats up or cools down to the selected operating temperature. The temperature change is shown in the temperature indicator.
- See below for recommended settings. If in doubt, start with a lower temperature and increase the temperature as necessary.
Temperature| Hair type
---|---
120–150 °C/240–300 °F| Fine, fragile, or damaged hair
150–190 °C/300–370 °F| Normal hair
190–230 °C/370–450 °F| Coarse or curly hair
- Wait until the selected operating temperature stays lit in the temperature indicator.

Straightening your hair

- Gently glide the heating plates downwards from the root to the tip of the hair section (see Fig. B).
- The infrared outlet 7 and ion generator 8 are also activated. The ion icon 13 in the display 9 illuminates.
