BEFORE STYLING THE HAIR  
IMPORTANT: Before styling,  
ensure that the hair is clean, dry  
and tangle-free.  
We do not recommend using  
styling products in the hair prior  
to straightening. Some products  
are flammable and will cause the  
hair to stick to the Straightening  
Plates. Build up from products  
will coat the Straightening Plates  
and prevent the hair from passing  
through smoothly. Use styling/  
shine products after the hair is  
straightened.  
ATTENTION: Slide the Travel Lock  
to the open position before using.  
The Travel Lock is not to be used  
while straightening the hair.  
1. Plug the Power Cord into a  
120V AC outlet. The red  
POWER ON Light will  
illuminate.  
You may notice a metallic  
smell the first time using the  
Straightener, this is normal and  
will cease with use.  
2. Press the ON/OFF Switch to the  
ON position. The green HEAT  
Light will illuminate.  
3. It will take approximately 2  
minutes for the Straightener to
