5. Operating Instructions
The Polder 2-in-1 Hot Sleeve is designed for passive use as a heat-resistant holder. No active operation is required.
Using as an Upright Holder:
- After heating your styling tool, carefully insert it into the upright Hot Sleeve.
- The silicone interior will safely contain the heat, preventing damage to surrounding surfaces.
- When finished, unplug your tool and allow it to cool completely within the sleeve before storing the sleeve away.
Using as a Flat Mat:
- Unfold the Hot Sleeve into its flat mat configuration on a stable surface.
- Rest your hot styling tool on the mat between uses during your styling routine.
- This prevents direct contact between the hot tool and your countertop or vanity.

6. Maintenance

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Polder 2-in-1 Hot Sleeve, please refer to the following common concerns:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Sleeve feels warm to the touch. | This is normal. The silicone is designed to absorb and dissipate heat from your styling tool. | Ensure the tool is placed entirely within the sleeve or on the mat. Avoid prolonged direct contact with the exterior of the sleeve when a hot tool is inside. |
| Hot Sleeve does not stand upright stably. | Uneven surface or improper placement of the tool. | Place the Hot Sleeve on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the styling tool is inserted centrally and not leaning excessively. |
| Cord does not stay wrapped. | Improper wrapping technique or cord is too thick. | Wrap the cord snugly around the designated hooks. For thicker cords, ensure they are secured as best as possible. |
