soft, open curls. Direct each curl in a
slightly different angle. Lightly mist with
finishing spray.

USER MAINTENANCE
Your appliance is virtually maintenance free.
For proper performance, the appliance must
be kept clean. Blocked or clogged air intake
vents will cause the appliance to overheat.
When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord
and clean dust and lint from air intake
openings with a small brush attachment.
The outer surface of the appliance should
be wiped clean with a damp cloth only. If
abnormal conditions occur, unplug the
appliance, allow it to cool and return it for
repair to an authorized service representative
only. No repairs should be attempted by
the consumer.
CAUTION —
NEVER allow the power
supply cord to be pulled or twisted. Never
wrap the cord around the appliance.
Damage will occur at the high flex point
of entry into the appliance causing it to
rupture and short.
Inspect the cord frequently for damage. STOP
USE IMMEDIATELY if damage is visible or if
unit stops or operates intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance should be
disconnected and stored in a safe, dry
location out of reach of children. Do not wrap
the line cord around the appliance. Allow the
cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the
point of entry into the appliance.
IF YOU MUST USE YOUR APPLIANCE
IN THE BATHROOM, INSTALL A GFCI* NOW!
Your local electrician can help you decide
which type is best for you—a portable
unit that plugs into the electrical outlet or a
permanent unit installed by your electrician.
The National Electrical Code now requires
GFCI’s in the bathrooms, garages, and
outdoor outlets of all new homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI?
Electricity and
water don’t mix. If your hot air brush falls in
water while it’s plugged in, the electric shock
can kill you…even if the
switch is “off.” A regular fuse
or circuit breaker won’t protect
you under these circum-
stances. A GFCI offers you far
greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life! Compared to
that, the price is small! Don’t wait...
install one now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device which reacts
immediately to a small electric current leak by
stopping the electricity flow. It will provide
you with more protection, additional to what
you get with your safety device.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FOR DUAL-VOLTAGE APPLIANCE
For use in North America, the voltage selector
switch should be placed in the 125 position.
For use in several countries overseas, the
voltage selector may need to be placed in the
250 position. Confirm the voltage available at
each overseas location before using the
appliance. For connection to a 240 volt supply,
use an attachment plug adapter of the proper
configuration for the power supply receptacle.
For 110-125 Volt Operation
Flick the dual voltage switch to the 125
position. In this position, the dryer has two
settings. It provides two speeds and two
heats - low speed and low heat on LO and
high speed and high heat on HI.
For 220-250 Volt Operation
First put the HI-LO switch into LO. Flick the
dual voltage switch to the 250 position. At
220-250V while set at LO, the dryer operates
only at high speed with high heat. Do not
attempt to operate the HI-LO switch or change
to 125 when operating on 220-250V. The
switches must be set and remain in the LO
and 250 positions. A plug adapter may be
necessary in certain countries.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household
use. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz)
only. Standard curling appliances are
designed to operate at 110 to 125 volts AC.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other.) As a safety feature,

HOW TO STYLE WITH YOUR HOT

HOT AIR CURLING IRON
Apply mousse or light gel evenly through hair.
Partially dry hair by blow drying or letting hair
dry naturally.
Beginning at the crown area, take a section
of hair and place the 1 1/2” Hot Air Brush
near the root area. Slide the hot air brush
toward the ends, then wind toward the root
area. Hold for approximately 10 seconds,
then gently unwind the hair without tension.
Continue throughout the hair until all the
hair has been curled.
NOTE: To achieve maximum body, fullness
and curl, apply styling gel to the root area
and styling mousse to the ends. Then take
small sections of the hair, and curl it with the
1 1/2” Hot Air Brush.
Dual Voltage
Everyone knows that electricity and water are
a dangerous combination. But did you know
that an electric appliance is still electrically live
even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the
power is on. So when you are not using your
appliances, keep them unplugged.
ALWAYS UNPLUG
