When using electrical appliances, especially 

when children are present, basic safety 

precautions should always be followed, including 

the following:

 Any appliance is electrically 

live even when the switch is off. To reduce the 

risk of death by electric shock:
1.

using.
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
3. Do not place or store appliance where it can 

fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
4. Do not place in, or drop into water or other

5. If an appliance falls into water, unplug it imme-

diately. 

 To reduce the risk of burns, 

electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1.

unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance should not be used by,  

on, or near children or individuals with certain

3. Use this appliance only for its intended use as 

described in this manual. Do not use attachments 

not recommended by the manufacturer. 

4. Do not use an extension cord to operate

5.

and repair.
6. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not pull, twist, or wrap line cord around 

appliance, even during storage.
8. Never block the air openings of the appliance or 

place it on a soft surface, such as a bed  

or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. 

Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and  

the like.
9. Never use while sleeping.
10. Never drop or insert any object into any opening 

or hose.
11. Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol 

(spray) products are being used or where oxygen 

is being administered.
12. This straightener is hot when in use. Do not 

let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.
13.

power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
14. Before plugging in, read the information 

about dual voltage contained in the instruction 

section of this manual.
15. Do not attempt to touch the housing of your 

appliance near the straightening plates as it is 

hot when in use.
16. Do not touch hot surfaces of the appliance. 

Use the handles or knobs.
17. Do not use with a voltage converter.

This straightening iron is intended for house- 

hold use. This unit is designed to operate at 

120–240 volts AC. Use on Alternating Current 

(50/60 hertz) only. 
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.

This straightening iron will automatically adjust 

to the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with 

correct configuration, prior to use in outlet.

Plug the straightening iron cord into any  

household outlet 120V–240V. Red LED light will 

indicate power is on. The iron will heat up very 

quickly. Never leave your straightening iron on 

and unattended.
WARNING: The straightening iron’s ceramic-

been turned on. 
Start with a hair section that is 1 in. wide and no 

more than ½ in. thick. Open the iron and place a 

hair section between the two hot plates, close to 

the scalp. Close plates over hair by firmly 

squeezing the handles together. While maintain-

ing the tension, slowly pull the unit down along 

the hair section toward the ends. At the end of 

hair section, release the pressure on the handle 

and allow the hair to slide out. Repeat process on 

additional sections of hair until you achieve the 

hair style you desire. It may be necessary to 

repeat process on certain areas, depending on 

the texture of your hair.
Some experience is necessary when learning to 

use this straightening iron. After using the iron 

several times, you will learn the ideal way to 

straighten and style your hair easily. 

The plates of your new straightening iron have an 

easy-glide ceramic surface, the latest in 

technological advances. The ceramic even heat 

distribution produces the ultimate in healthy, 

shiny, silky looking hair. You’ll find that hair glides  

easily over the surface of the plates as you’re 

straightening, and that it is easier to clean  

styling product residue, etc. off the plates  

after each use. The ceramic surface also helps 

smooth down flyaways and frizzies. As you 

smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed so 

that the style you create has a salon-perfect, 

silky smooth, shiny finish. Hair also glides right 

through the plates after it’s straightened.
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to 

work with, makes styling your hair easier and 

provides professional results.
