SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This flat iron appliance is intended for household use. This unit is designed
to operate at 120–240 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 flat iron will automatically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an adapter
plug with the correct configuration, prior to use in the outlet.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
-
Plug the flat iron cord into any household outlet (120–240V).
Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The iron will heat up very quickly. The power indicator light will remain on when in operation. To turn off, slide switch to OFF position (light will go off). Never leave your flat iron on and unattended.
WARNING:
The flat iron’s ceramic-coated plates will get very hot within a few seconds and should not come into contact with the skin after the flat iron has been turned on. Hair should be clean and completely dried before using any flat iron. For best results, use a light styling product before blow-drying hair. -
Start with a hair section that is 2 in. wide and no more than 1/2 in. 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 squeezing the handles together. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the end of the hair. At the end of the hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair section to slide out. Repeat the process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hairstyle you desire.
It may be necessary to repeat the process on certain areas, depending on the
texture of your hair. Some practice is necessary when learning to use this
flat iron. After using iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to
straighten and style your hair easily.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new flat iron have an easy glide ceramic-coated surface.
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, and the ceramic surface is easy to clean. The
ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with because it makes styling your
hair easier and the results more professional.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FLAT IRON
USER MAINTENANCE
Your flat iron is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. Keep
all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning becomes necessary,
disconnect the unit from the power source, allow it to cool, and wipe the
exterior with a cloth. If any abnormal condition occurs, unplug the unit,
allow it to cool, and return it for repair to an authorized service
representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance. Damage will occur at the
high flex point of entry into the appliance, causing it to rupture and short
circuit. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if the
damage is visible or if the unit stops or operates intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance is easy to store.
Allow the appliance to cool, then simply store it out of reach of children in
a safe, dry location. Do not jerk or strain the cord at plug connections. Do
not wrap the line cord around the appliance. Allow the cord to hang or lie
loose and straight at the point of entry into the appliance.
WARNING: IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF, YOU’RE
WRONG.
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous combination. But did
you know that an electric appliance is still electrically live even if the
switch is off?
If the plug is in, the power is on. So when you are not using your appliances,
keep them unplugged.
