What Remington's manual says about switching off and putting it away
It turns itself off after about an hour
Remington's S9531 use and care manual says that after approximately one hour the unit automatically shuts itself off. To keep styling after that, the manual says to press the ON/OFF button to reactivate it.
Lock the plates closed
Remington lists a hinge lock on the S9531. The manual says to lock the iron by squeezing the plates together and turning the switch to the locked position.
Store it cool, dry and out of reach
Once the iron has cooled, Remington's manual says to store it out of reach of children in a safe, dry location.
How to use it
- Make sure hair is dry and free of tangles.
- Plug the styler in, then press and hold the ON/OFF button until the unit turns on and the display lights up.
- Select the temperature for your hair type using the temperature buttons.
- Starting at the roots, clamp hair firmly between the plates and run the styler down the entire strand, from root to tip, in one smooth stroke.
- When finished, press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before storing.
Steps follow Remington's use and care manual, which covers models S9511 and S9531.
