IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. Ensure that your hair is clean, dry and tangle free before applying heat to it.
2. Only hold the unit at the end of the handle. Avoid touching the plates as this
will lead to scalding.
3. Do not scratch the surface of the plates as this will deteriorate the
effectiveness of the ceramic coating.
4. Do not style too close to your scalp, face, ears, neck or skin as this will lead to
scalding.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
•Take extra care when using the straightener as it can get very hot.
•Plug in the unit.
•Slide ON/OFF switch to on. The lights go on, indicating that the unit is heating
up. Wait 2-3 Minutes for the straightener heat up.
•Do not iron wet hair. Doing so will damage the hair.

•For best results, spray the hair section with hairspray or heat protection spray,
prior to straightening.
•Always start from the back of the neck, working over the sides and finish with
the front section. Always straighten the lower layers first.
•Take a small section of hair at a time, pull it taut while holding the appliance
with the other hand, start at the roots and clamp the hair firmly between the
plates.
•Run the straightener through the entire length of the hair, slowly and steadily,
from roots to end, without stopping.
•Repeat until the desired degree of straightening has been achieved.
•Repeat the process all over the head, and when finished switch the unit off and
unplug.
•Allow the unit to cool down completely before storing away. Ensure that it is
out of reach of children and pets whilst cooling.
STYLING TIPS
The straightener is great for all types of hair, long or short, thick or thin. Even hair that is
normally very straight but quite thick and uncontrollable can be transformed into smooth,
sleek looking hair with little effort.
If you wish to curl the ends, this can also be achieved. Once you begin to use your
straightener you will soon find the best application for your individual style.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•Ensure that the unit is unplugged and cool. Clean the outside of the handle with a
slightly damp cloth. Wipe the ceramic plates clean of any styling product build-up.
•Avoid wrapping the cord around the unit as this will, in time, cause damage to the
cord.

•After use, let the appliance cool off before storing.
•Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.
