How to use your i-Straight Straightener

PLEASE REMOVE ANY PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL BEFORE USE

• Wash and condition your hair as usual. Ensure that hair is dry, combed

through and tangle-free.

• A plastic cover has been placed over the plug to protect it from damage.

Remove the plastic cover before inserting into power outlet.

• Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet and slide the I/O

switch to ‘I’. At this time the red LED indicator light will turn on.

indicator light will turn off. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet

and allow to cool completely before storing.

NOTE: When you are straightening, you might see some steam. Do not

be concerned, this could be because of evaporation of the sebum, some

residual hair products (leave-in hair care, hairspray, etc.) or excess water

that is evaporating from your hair.

Styling

The appliance can also be used for shaping the hair. To create perfectly

shaped bobs - straighten from the roots, then turn the appliance under

at the end of your hair, hold in place for a couple of seconds and then

release.

For ﬂick ups, follow the same procedure but angle the appliance out at

the end of your hair instead of under.

NOTE: This straightener has an internal automatic converter which will

automatically convert the voltage without the need of a switch.

A suitable plug adaptor will be required, please refer to the chart

below.

Summary

How to Use Your i-Straight Straightener

Styling

Instructions on using the straightener to shape hair into bobs or flick ups.

The VS Sassoon i-Straight straightener, model VS2858A, is a high-tech compact hair styling tool designed for household use, offering instant straightening and a silky smooth finish. It is virtually maintenance-free and requires no lubrication.

Function Description:

The primary function of the i-Straight straightener is to straighten hair. It achieves this using ultra-soft, satin touch™ plates that heat up quickly. Beyond straightening, the appliance can also be used for shaping hair. To create perfectly shaped bobs, users can straighten from the roots and then turn the appliance under at the end of the hair, holding it in place for a couple of seconds before releasing. For flick-ups, the same procedure is followed, but the appliance is angled out at the end of the hair instead of under. The device features an internal automatic converter, eliminating the need for a voltage switch and making it suitable for international travel with the appropriate plug adapter.

Important Technical Specifications:

Maximum Temperature: 200°C
Heat-up Time: Fast heat up
Plates: Satin touch™ plates
Controls: I/O switch (On/Off), LED on indicator light, Automatic temperature control
Voltage Compatibility: Automatic voltage conversion (100-240V) without a manual switch. Requires a suitable plug adapter for different regions.
Safety Features:
- Designed for use in bathrooms, but must be unplugged after use due to water proximity.
- Warning against use in or near bathtubs, showers, basins, or other water-filled vessels.
- Not to be immersed in water or other liquids.
- Automatic shut-off is not explicitly mentioned, but the device should be unplugged when not in use or before cleaning.

- Installation of a residual current device (RCD) with a rated operating current not exceeding 30mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom for additional protection.

Usage Features:

Preparation: Before use, hair should be washed, conditioned, dry, combed through, and tangle-free. A plastic cover on the plug must be removed before inserting into a power outlet.
Operation: Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet and slide the I/O switch to 'I' (On). The red LED indicator light will illuminate.
Styling: The satin touch™ plates ensure a smooth glide through the hair. Users may observe steam during straightening, which is normal and results from the evaporation of sebum, residual hair products, or excess water.
Shut-off: To turn off the appliance, slide the I/O switch to 'O'. The red LED indicator light will turn off.
Cooling: Always allow the appliance to cool completely before storing.
Storage: Do not wrap the cord around the appliance, as this can cause the cord to fracture over time. Instead, coil the cord loosely by the side of the appliance for storage.
International Use: The straightener's automatic voltage converter makes it suitable for various countries. Users will need to provide the correct plug adapter for their region. The manual provides a chart detailing required plug adaptors for British (230V), European (230V), Australian & New Zealand (240V), and American (100-120V) plugs, along with corresponding countries.
