8. Plug in the Protect & ShineTM 3-in-1 Steam
Straightener.
In a few minutes it will be ready
to use.

the holes as soon as the styler is hot enough.
Please be aware that steam is not necessarily
visible.
10. Keep note of how much water is left in the
reservoir. It usually runs out after being used
for between 35 and 40 minutes.
11. If you run out of water while styling, unplug
the straightener and leave it to cool before
filling up again.

and for use when traveling. To close and lock the
straightener, squeeze the unit and slide the switch
to lock. Make sure the lock is released before you
use the unit.
DUAL VOLTAGE USE
This product contains a special electronic circuit.
This circuit automatically adjusts to worldwide
voltage. When traveling overseas, this product
can be plugged into any voltage outlet without
your having to adjust the product manually in any
way. In some overseas countries, an attachment
plug adapter of the proper configuration for the
power supply receptacle may be required. DO
NOT USE a voltage converter or extension cord
with this product.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the unit switched off and unplugged,
grip the water reservoir at both sides. Push
in the tabs and pull away from the unit.
2. Twist the wick holder to the right by 90
degrees and pull away from the reservoir.
3. Fill the unit with water, replace the wick holder
and turn 90 degrees to lock again.
Do not remove wick from wick holder as
damage could occur.
4. Snap the reservoir back into place by lining up
the tabs on either side of the unit.
5. Select the plates you wish to use. Release
plates by sliding the thumb tab at the front of
the plate toward the front of the unit and
releasing the plates with your other hand.
6. If you are using the straightening plates, you
may wish to use the detangling comb, which
helps to guide plates over the surface. This
is easily slid on and off the plate.
The detangling comb cannot be used
with the crimping and waving plates.
7. Always heat the unit with the locking
switch in the UNLOCKED position.
NEVER heat the unit when the locking
switch is in the LOCKED position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Before using make sureyour hair is clean,
dry, and tangle-free.
• Forbest results use steam. However,
theproduct can be used without
steam if you prefer.
• DO NOT get too close to scalp.
• Hold unit only by the handle, as other
areas get hot when in use.
• Use only water in the reservoir (except
when cleaning).
• It is important to regularly clean the unit
to prevent any build-up in the water
reservoir
• DO NOT use an abrasive cleaning fluid or
material to clean the coated plates, as
damage will occur. Instead, use warm
water and a soft cloth.
• DO NOT scratch thesurface of the plates,
as this will deteriorate the effectiveness
of the non-stick coating.
STRAIGHTENING YOUR HAIR
1. Take one section of hair approximately 2" wide,
and smooth it out with a comb.
2. Place hair section between the hot plates and
clamp down firmly on the handles. You will
achieve professional results if you work from the
scalp to the ends of the hair.
3. Hold the unit in position for a few seconds
depending on type of hair (5 seconds for
fine hair and up to 8 seconds for medium to
coarse hair).
4. To remove hair from the unit, simply release
pressure on the handles and allow hair to
gently slip out from the straightening plates.
5. The straightening process requires some
overlapping: match the outermost ridge of your
hair with the ridge at the end of the plates.
Close the straightener around the hair and hold
in position again for 5 to 8 seconds.
6. Repeat the process until you have achieved the
look you desire. With a little experimentation
you can attain a hairstyle that is completely your
own.
