Setup

1. Ensure your hands are dry and the flat iron is unplugged before handling.
2. Place the flat iron on a heat-resistant surface.
3. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. After plugging in, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. The illuminated bar will glow yellow, indicating the unit is heating up.
2. Allow the flat iron a few minutes to reach its optimal temperature of 390°F.
3. Ensure hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles before styling.
4. Section your hair into manageable strands, approximately 1-2 inches wide.
5. Starting close to the roots, gently clamp a section of hair between the plates.
6. Smoothly glide the flat iron down the length of the hair section, from roots to ends, in one continuous motion. Avoid holding the iron in one place for too long to prevent heat damage.
7. Repeat the process for all sections of hair until desired straightness is achieved.
8. After use, slide the power switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug the appliance.
9. Allow the flat iron to cool completely before storing.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the flat iron is unplugged and completely cool. Wipe the plates and exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the appliance in water.
• Storage: Store the flat iron in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance, as this can cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Flat iron does not heat up.

Solution: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position. If the issue persists, the unit may require servicing.

Problem: Hair is not straightening effectively.

Solution: Ensure hair is completely dry and free of styling products before use. Work with smaller sections of hair. Glide the flat iron slowly and evenly through each section. For very thick or coarse hair, multiple passes may be needed, but avoid excessive heat exposure.

Problem: Illuminated bar is not glowing.

Solution: Verify the flat iron is plugged in and the power switch is turned 'ON'. If the unit is heating but the light is not functioning, it may be a cosmetic issue that does not affect performance. If the unit is not heating at all, refer to the 'Flat iron does not heat up' solution.
