Setup and Usage Guide

• Initial Setup Instructions:
  Before using your Remington Proluxe You Adaptive Hot Brush CB9800 for the first time, ensure your hair is clean and completely dry. Damp hair can be damaged by the high heat and may produce steam. Plug the device into a standard electrical outlet and press the power button to activate the unit. The device will reach optimal operating temperature within 30 seconds, indicated by the StyleAdapt LED indicator lighting up.
• Temperature Configuration:
  The CB9800 offers three manual temperature settings ranging from 160°C to 210°C. For fine, delicate, or color-treated hair, select the lowest setting (160°C). For normal hair types, the middle setting provides balanced heat distribution. The highest setting (210°C) is suitable for thick, coarse, or resistant hair types. The Intelligent StyleAdapt™ Technology will automatically recognize and adjust heat delivery based on your selected setting and your hair's response to styling.
• Operating Procedures:
  Section your hair into manageable portions before styling. Starting from the roots, gently glide the hot brush through each section, twisting slightly at the ends to create volume and curl. The smooth glide bristles ensure minimal friction and maximum shine. Allow each section to cool slightly before moving to the next area. The adaptive technology continuously monitors your styling pattern and adjusts heat output for consistent results throughout your styling session.
• Safety Precautions:
  Always allow the brush to cool completely before storage. Never use the device on wet hair. Keep the brush away from water and moisture when not in use. The automatic safety shut-off feature will deactivate the device if no buttons are pressed for an extended period, providing additional protection against accidental burns or fire hazards.

1. When first switched on, your styler will be in StyleAdapt™ mode and the StyleAdapt™ indicator will be fully lit up.
2. When it is ready to use, your styler will beep three times. 
3. During styling, the StyleAdapt™ indicator will spin (fig. B), indicating that your styler is learning about your hair and adjusting the barrel temperature to a heat that is personalised to you. The temperature changes are not shown on the display but happen quickly and automatically during styling.

NOTE: If the indicator spins when your styler is not in use, this just means that StyleAdapt™ Mode is on.

Manual Mode

1. To override the StyleAdapt™ mode and use as a standard styler, press the K button until the display shows the temperature (e.g., 160ºC)  and the StyleAdapt™ indicator goes off. Note that in manual mode, your styler will no longer be learning about your hair and adapting the heat.
2. Select the appropriate temperature for your hair type using the “+/-” temperature control on the side of the product. Start styling at lower temperatures first. 
3. When the styler has reached your set temperature, the display will stop flashing.
4. To re-activate StyleAdapt™ mode, press the button until the StyleAdapt™ indicator is illuminated. Your stylist will now be learning about your hair and adapting the heat again. 

Recommended Temperatures

Creating Voluminous Curls

1. Section the hair before styling. Style the lower layers first.
2. Take a section of hair and place the ends over the barrel of the brush. Rotate the styler inwards towards your roots, allowing the hair to wrap around the barrel of the brush. 
3. Wait 10-20 seconds for your curl to form. 
4. To release the curl, unwind your hair from the brush by rotating the styler down towards the ends. 
5. Repeat this around the head to create as many curls as desired. 

Tip: Let your hair cool before styling and brushing; this will help to prolong the curls. 

Creating Root Volume.

1. Section your top layer of hair, close to your parting, and lift it up.
2. Place the brush underneath your hair at the root and wrap the section over the barrel. 
3. Keeping the brush close to your roots, hold in place for 10-20 seconds.
4. To release, keep your hair wrapped around the barrel and glide the brush upwards through the entire length of your hair whilst holding the ends to keep the section taut. 
5. Repeat this on all sections of your roots.

Creating Polished ends 

1. Take a section of hair and wrap the underneath the barrel. 
2. Slowly rotate the brush outwards to shape the style.

Troubleshooting and Technical Support

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Device won't heat up: Verify the power outlet is functioning by testing with another appliance. Check that the power button is fully pressed and held for 2-3 seconds. Ensure the device has been plugged in for at least 30 seconds before expecting heat generation.
• Uneven heat distribution: Clean the barrel and bristles with a damp cloth to remove product buildup that may affect heat transfer. Ensure you've selected the appropriate temperature setting for your hair type. The adaptive technology may take 2-3 styling passes to fully calibrate to your specific hair.
• Automatic shut-off activating unexpectedly: This safety feature activates when no buttons are pressed for approximately 30 minutes. Simply press the power button to reactivate the device if you need to continue styling.
• Hair tangling in bristles: Ensure hair is completely dry before use. Use the brush in smooth, continuous motions rather than jerky movements. If hair becomes tangled, gently unwind rather than pulling forcefully to avoid damage.
