IMPORTANT INFORMATION

???Before using make sure your hair is clean, dry, and tangle-free.

???For best results use steam. However, the product 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 the surface of the plates,

as this will deteriorate the effectiveness

of the non-stick coating.

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.

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

9.The steam is continuous so it will come out of 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Locking Switch

The locking switch can be used for easy storage 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.

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.

USER MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

To clean the plate surface, make sure the unit is cool and unplugged before detaching the plates. Wipe the coated plates with a damp cloth. No other maintenance is required.

To prevent a build-up of hard water limescale in the water reservoir, add 3-4 drops of vinegar to the water reservoir, top up to

the fill line with water and plug in the Protect & Shine??? 3-in-1 Steam Straightener. Close the unit to allow it to steam for around 5 minutes then unplug it and rinse out the water reservoir.

STORAGE

When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow it to cool, empty tank and store 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. Handle cord carefully, and avoid jerking, twisting or straining it especially at plug connections.
