INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This steam straightener is intended for
household use. Use on Alternating Current
(60 hertz) only. This unit is designed to be
operated at 120 volts AC.
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.
To turn on unit, plug into electrical outlet
and switch on. The Power/Low default
setting will become illuminated. To turn off,
press On/Off button. Never leave your
straightening iron unattended. However,
should you fail to turn the unit off, it will
automatically shut off within 60 minutes.
TO FILL WATER RESERVOIR
WARNING: Never remove when hot. Allow
to cool before filling.
Remove reservoir from unit. Open rubber
reservoir cap and fill with distilled water.
Replace rubber cap and snap back onto unit.
2-STAGE STYLING AND
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
You’ll love what our new high-tech 2-stage
styling system can do for your hair. As nano
silver makes plates glide smoothly through
hair, Tourmaline Ceramic™smoothes hair’s
cuticle layer to protect it from heat damage.
The 2-step styling system first infuses hair
with conditioning ionic steam, and then locks
in all that healthy moisture with heated
plates. The results are sensational: silky,
shinier, pin-straight styles that last!
Keeping your straightener’s easy-glide plates
clean is effortless, because of its nonstick
surface. Simply wipe plates with a damp cloth
after each use to remove any product buildup.
The advanced Nano Silver Tourmaline
Ceramic™technology and our 2-stage styling
system lets you achieve longer lasting
salon-straight looks, every time you style!
You have the option to select low or high
steam for perfectly smooth and straight
results. For coarse hair, select the high
steam setting.
RETRACTABLE DETANGLING COMBS
The retractable detangling combs separate
tangles and tame even the most unruly frizz!
Three different comb heights, high, low and
off, make this the perfect straightener for any
hair type, even thick and coarse textures.
The three settings let you choose from low
to maximum tension control. Set the comb
height that is best for your hair type.
Nano Silver Tourmaline Ceramic™coating on
the combs provides smooth glide and shiny,
healthy looking results.
TO STRAIGHTEN AND STYLE HAIR
Hair should be clean and dry before using
this appliance. For best results, use a light
styling product prior to blow-drying.
To get started, pick up a section of hair that
is 1½" wide and not more than ½" thick.
Make sure it is free of tangles. Place the hair
section between the two hot plates, close to
the scalp, trapping the hair by firmly squeez-
ing the handles together.
Maintaining a firm grip, slowly slide the iron
down hair section toward the end. When you
reach the end of the hair section, release
your grip on the handles and allow the hair to
gently slide out.
WARNING: While using steam feature, do
not place fingers on the ridged area of the
reservoir.

IONIC BENEFITS
Ionic properties neutralize positive charges
in the air, reducing the static electricity that
dulls hair and causes fly-away frizzies. Hair
instantly becomes more manageable and
shiny.
TIPS FOR USING THE HEAT SETTINGS
If your hair is delicate, thin and easy to
straighten, minimum heat will be needed. Set
the temperature control to a low 285˚ F.
Average to thick, or chemically treated hair will
straighten best at a medium heat of 310˚ F.
Thick hair benefits from medium to high heat
at 330˚ F.
Coarse, hard-to-straighten hair requires high
to maximum heat at 360˚ F to 395˚ F.
The uniform heat recovery system maintains
the plates at a constant temperature, for con-
sistent results.
Experience is the best teacher – after using
the iron several times, you will know the best
way to straighten and style your hair.

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 electri-
cally 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.
ALWAYS UNPLUG
SMALL APPLIANCES
USER
MAINTENANCE
Your High Temperature Steam Straightener 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 to cool and wipe 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 damage is visible or if
unit stops or operates intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance is easy to
store. Allow appliance to cool, then simply
store out of reach of children in a safe, dry
location. Do not jerk or strain 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.
