* Keep your mains power cord away from the plates at all times
* Before storing allow the hair irons to cool down on a heat mat or use any holder or eat guard that came with the straightener
* Loosely coil the mains cord around your straightener, never tightly cord it around this will over time damage the internal cord leading you to a new pair.
* Cleaning, use a damp cloth with warm water and mild detergent the detergent will remove any product with a little rubbing.
* Change the fuse if the straighteners stop working this is usually the first thing if the hair straightener refuses to switch on.
