GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Ensure hair is dry and combed through.
• Press the ‘I/0’ button to switch the styler on.
• The styler will automatically heat up to 180°C, once it’s reached this
temperature the digital display will remain at 180°C.
Note: There may be a slight buzzing sound from the ionic port as it
releases the ions. This is normal.
• Use the temperature buttons (+/-) to select the preferred
temperature. The temperature increases in 10°C increments for
specic temperature control (140°C-230°C).
• Once the preferred temperature has been selected the digital display
will ash 3 times and start heating up. When the chosen temperature
has been reached the styler is ready for use.
• After use, press the ‘I/0’ button to switch off and unplug the styler.
• Immediately wrap in the heat mat provided and allow to cool.
• Allow the styler to cool down fully before storing away.
STYLING ADVICE
Straightening
• Ensure hair is dry and combed through.
• Divide hair into sections and place the section between the plates,
close to the roots.
• Gently slide the plates down the length of the hair. To create some
shape at the ends of the hair, slightly bend your wrist inwards or
outwards as you reach the end of each section.
• Repeat as necessary through the remaining sections of your hair.
• Use the heat protection mat to place your styler on between each
section to protect surfaces.
• Allow the hair to cool fully before combing through.

Creating Curls
• Separate a section of hair. The smaller the section the more dened
the curl. The larger the section the looser the curl or wave.
• Take the hair section and place between the styler plates, roughly 3
inches from the roots. (See Fig. 1).
• Turn the styler 180° back on itself so that the hair is wrapped once
around the outside of the styler. (See Fig. 2).
• Slowly glide the styler along the length of hair from root to tip in a
downward motion. (See Fig. 3).
• Release the styler from the hair.
• To ensure the curl sits neatly in place, hold the end of the section you
have curled and twist it in the direction of the curl. (See Fig. 4).
Auto Shut-off
This appliance has an automatic shut-off feature for added safety. If the
appliance is switched on for more than 72 minutes continuously, then it
will automatically switch off. If you wish to continue using the appliance
after this time, simply press the ‘I/0’ button to turn the power on.
Heat Protection Wrap
The straightener comes with a heat protection wrap for use during
and after styling. During use do not place this appliance on any heat
sensitive surface, even when using the heat wrap provided. After use,
switch off and unplug the appliance. Immediately wrap the appliance in
the heat wrap provided and allow to fully cool down. Continue to keep
it out of the reach of children as it will remain hot for several minutes.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• In order for your styler to retain it’s top performance it is important to
make sure there is no product build up on the plates. This will ensure
the plates always glide smoothly through the hair.
Fig.1 Fig.2 Fig.3 Fig.4

• When the styler is completely cool and unplugged, use a damp cloth
over the surface of the plates to wipe away any styling product.
• Keep the power cord away from the hot plates at all times.
• Before storing away, always allow the plates to cool down.
• To prevent cord damage, never wrap the cord around the styler.
