Away Straightener will

fashionable styles. With this
salon-quality tool, you will be

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: You may notice a
metallic smell the first time using
the Straightener, this is normal
and will cease with use.
DUAL VOLTAGE: This appliance
utilizes a positive temperature
coefficient (PTC) heating element
and operates over a range of
voltages.
Confirm the voltage available at
each location before using the
appliance.
For connection to a 240-volt
supply or above, use an
attachment plug adaptor of the
proper configuration for the
power supply receptacle.
