Thank you for purchasing the
Remington® wet2style™ styler. This
unique curved plate iron combines
optimum styling features with cut-
ting-edge protection. Please carefully
read the instructions contained in
this booklet, and keep them in a safe
place for future reference.
Key Features
Unique steam vent design:
Unique steam vents allow this styler to
be safely used on wet or dry hair. The
vents allow steam to escape, drying
hair and sealing the cuticle at the same
time. Creates salon smooth, shiny hair
in less time, with less damage.
Display:
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
indicates the heat setting numerically
and with a circle of bars. A steam
icon appears when you have selected
a setting appropriate for use on damp
to wet hair – settings 16 or higher.
The LCD also has a background light
to help find the ideal setting by hair
condition and type. A blue light is
best for dry hair, purple for damp
hair, and red for wet hair. The light
changes from blue to purple to red as
the heat setting is increased.
Automatic shutoff:
This styler is equipped with auto-
matic shutoff. This safety feature
turns the unit off after 60 minutes,
in case you accidentally leave it on
after styling your hair. Before turning
itself off the LCD will flash for 10
seconds, giving you the chance to
stop the shutoff process. While the
LCD is flashing, simply press the +/-
button to use the styler for another
45 minutes. If no button is pressed,
the unit will turn itself off when the
LCD stops blinking.
Automatic worldwide voltage
This appliance contains a special
electronic circuit that automatically
converts it for worldwide usage–
from 120 to 240 volts AC, 50 to 60
Hz. Just plug it into the local outlet
and use it as normal; the styler will
automatically adjust to the local
current. (You may need an adapter
to allow the plug to fit into the local
outlets, however.)
Triple Protection:
Products with Triple Protection from
Remington® provide the ultimate
defense against damage for superior
shine.
1. PTFE Coating:
Non-stick PTFE coating glides
through any type of hair,
preventing static, stickiness, and
build-up of mousse, gels, and hair
sprays for smooth, shiny results
– every time.

2. Ceramic Coating:
Ceramic protects against damaging
hot spots with high, even heat to
lock in moisture and create long-
lasting styles.
3. Tourmaline Ionic Conditioning:
Negative ions are created,
neutralizing positive ions to reduce
static and the frizz, leaving your
hair looking shiny and healthy.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Cleaning
Make sure the unit is unplugged and
cool. Use a damp cloth to clean the
plates and the outside of the power
handle. No other maintenance of the
unit is required.
Storage
Unplug the unit whenever it is not
in use.Allow it to cool, then store it
out of reach of children in a safe, dry
location.
Never wrap the cord around the
appliance, since this will cause the
cord to wear prematurely and break,
thus voiding warranty. Handle the
cord carefully and avoid jerking,
twisting, or straining it, especially at
plug connections.
Error Messages
rE
Your straightener will display an
“rE” message if it has a recoverable
error or malfunction. If this happens,
turn the unit off, unplug it, and allow
it to cool for 10–15 minutes. Then
plug it in and turn it on again. If the
message displays again, refer to
the full 2-year warranty for return
instructions.
1E, 2E, 3E
If the LCD displays a “1E”, “2E” or
“3E” message, turn the unit off and
unplug it. Do not attempt to use it.
Refer to the full 2-year warranty for
return instructions.
5. Divide hair into vertical sections, parting
the hair from the top of the head down
to the chin. Take a section of hair and
comb through it. Pull out and away
from your scalp, and hold it taut.
6. Hold the styler vertically and starting
at the roots, clamp hair between the
plates and run the styler out along
the entire hair strand pulling the
styler away from the face and
toward the back of the head. Do
not hold the styler in one area.
7. Repeatedly run the unit smoothly along
the entire strand in a front to back
motion until hair is fully dried. Repeat
with all sections of your hair, working
with the underneath layers first, then
the top and sides.(NOTE: The unit may
make a steaming/hissing noise when
used on damp hair. This is okay!
The unique design of this styler will
channel the moisture away from hair
and out the steam vents.)
8. When you are finished styling,
press and hold the on/off button
to turn the unit off, unplug it, and
allow it to cool before storing.
Usage Tips
Styling Your Hair
1. Gently towel dry hair to remove
excess water. Avoid rubbing hair
with a towel, as this creates split
ends and frizziness. Detangle hair
with a wide-toothed comb.
2. Plug the styler into an electrical
outlet. Press and hold the on/off
button until the unit turns on and
the LCD lights up.
3. The styler will initially heat to setting
15. Adjust the temperature using
the +/- buttons. The bars on the
LCD will flash while the unit heats
up, then glow steadily when it has
reached the selected temperature.
The styler will beep three times
when it is ready for use.
4. Test the styler on a small section
of hair, then adjust the temperature
up or down before styling the rest
of your hair.
NOTE:
■ If you find that you need a higher
setting while styling your hair,
simply adjust the temperature by
pressing the "+" button. The unit
will beep when it reaches the new
temperature.
■ While styling your hair, if you find
that you need a lower setting,
adjust the temperature by pressing
the "-" button. Because the
unit is already hot, it may take
a few minutes to cool off. It will
beep when it cools to the lower
temperature.
