heater and is designed to reach very high temperatures. Take care to avoid
the hot surfaces of the straightener coming into direct contact with the skin, in

Super Ionic Conditioning
Featuring a superior ionic generator which releases super frizz-controlling ions
on to the hair to smooth the cuticle for sleek, shiny and healthy looking hair.
NOTE: Turning on the appliance will automatically activate the ionic technology.
The release of the ions produces a slight buzzing noise.

Switch Activation Control
IMPORTANT! This straightener features delayed activation control to give
consistent results and ease of use whilst straightening. Immediately after
switching on the straightener you are able to adjust the temperature and activate
the ‘Sensor Protect’ mode. After 5 seconds of the appliance being turned on,
the controls will automatically lock. To make any adjustments after the controls
have locked, hold down the button of the required setting for 1-2 seconds, this
will deactivate the lock mode and allow the settings to be changed. To turn off
the appliance whilst in lock mode, hold down the button for 1-2 seconds until

button for 1-2 seconds to turn the straightener on and select the desired
temperature by pressing the + or - buttons.
•There are twelve temperature settings, as a guide:

during straightening.

mode. The unit will return to the original temperature selected.
