To operate the heat settings on the REMINGTON S-8590, follow these instructions:

Set to desired temperature setting using the +/- button features.

During heat up time, the temperature display will pulse until the desired temperature is reached.

When the tool reaches the desired temperature, the pulsing will stop and the temperature will be displayed.

Turbo Mode: To activate, hold the “+” button for about 2 seconds to increase the temperature to the maximum 450 degrees F setting.

To decrease the temperature, use the “-” button just like the normal function mode.

The Heat Sensor system allows you to avoid excessive heat to already damaged or dry areas of your hair by automatically adjusting the temperature to a safe styling zone. A computerized sensor, found in the top plate of the REMINGTON S-8590, is designed to identify dry to damaged hair. As you move the straightener through your hair, the sensor will automatically detect the dry/damaged areas and adjust the temperature bringing it to a safe styling zone. Once you pass over the damaged area, the straightener will re-adjust to your designated temperature once the sensor identifies normal or healthy hair.

To use the sensor:

Set the straightener to your desired temperature.

This optional function can be turned on or off by pressing the heat sensor button located next to the unit’s +/- buttons.

When activated, the heat sensor icon will illuminate through the top of the straightener. The pulsating sensor lets you know that it is activated and will start protecting your hair from excessive damage.

The REMINGTON S-8590 provides recommended heat settings based on hair type:

Note: If you find that you need a higher setting while straightening your hair, simply adjust the temperature to a higher heat setting. While straightening your hair, if you find that you need a lower setting, adjust the temperature to a lower heat setting. Because the unit is already hot, it may take a few minutes to cool off.

Follow these steps to style your hair with the REMINGTON S-8590:

Step 1. Hair should be dry and free of tangles before using the styling iron.

Step 2. Plug the styler into an electrical outlet. Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the unit turns on and the temperature display lights up.

Step 3. Adjust the temperature using the temperature buttons. The display will flash while the unit heats up, then glow steadily when it has reached the selected temperature. The unit will beep when ready.

Step 4. Divide hair into manageable sections and clip the upper layers on top of your head and out of the way. Work with underneath layers first.

Step 5. Test the styler on a small section of hair, then adjust the temperature up or down before styling the rest of your hair.

Step 6. Take a small section of hair, pull hair down and away from your scalp, and hold it taut.

Step 7. Starting at the roots, clamp hair firmly between the plates and run the styler down the entire hair strand, from root to tip, in one smooth stroke. Do not hold it in one area for a long period of time or damage to hair may occur.

Step 8. To create curves or flicks, rotate your wrist to turn the iron in toward your head or out away from your head as you run the iron down the hair strand.

Step 9. Repeat with all the sections of your hair, working with the underneath layers first, then the top and sides.

Step 10. When you are finished styling, press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before storing.

This professional flat iron has a closing lock to make the unit easier to store. To lock the iron, simply squeeze the plates together and turn the switch to the locked position. To unlock, turn the switch to the unlock position. NOTE: Do not heat the unit in the locked position.
