GETTING STARTED

The iron’s 25 temperature settings and instant 
heat technology provide styling versatility for all 
hair types. If you have fine hair, a low tempera-
ture will provide the best results. If you have 
thick, wavy or coarse hair, keep the heat setting 
on high. You can vary the iron’s temperature 
according to your particular need!

CURLING BASICS

1. Plug the curling iron cord into any household 
outlet (120/240V). Press ON button; light will 
begin to flash. The light will remain on when 
unit is ready to curl. The iron will heat up very 
quickly. To turn off, press OFF button (light will 
go off). Never leave your curling iron on and 
unattended. However, should you fail to turn 
the unit off, it will shut itself off automatically 
with 60 minutes. 
2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each 
section before winding. Pressing the 
automatic curl release, place curling iron 
midway up the hair section, then spread hair 
evenly between spoon and barrel. Release 
automatic curl release to hold hair in place. 
Gently slide curling iron down to hair ends. 
To avoid crimped ends, make sure they 
are securely wound under the spoon in the 
direction of the desired curl. Remember, 
always place the spoon above the hair strand 
when making a curl you want rolled under; 
place the spoon under the hair strand when 
making a flip style.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, especially 
when children are present, basic safety 
precautions should always be followed, 
including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

DANGER

  —

 Any appliance is 

electrically live even when the switch is off.
To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:

1. Always unplug it immediately after using.
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
3. Do not place or store appliance where it 
can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
4. Do not place in, or drop into water or other 
liquid.
5. If an appliance falls into water, unplug it 
immediately. 

Do not reach into the water.

WARNING

 —

 To reduce the risk of 

burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:

1. This appliance should never be left 
unattended when plugged in.

2. This appliance should not be used by, 
on, or near children or people with certain 
disabilities. 
3. Use this appliance only for its intended 
use as described in this manual. Do not 
use attachments not recommended by the 
manufacturer. 

4. Do not use an extension cord to operate 
appliance.

5. Never operate this appliance if it has a 
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working 
properly, if it has been dropped or dam-
aged, or dropped into water. Return the 
appliance to an authorized service center 
for examination and repair.

6. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not pull, twist, or wrap line cord around 
appliance, even during storage.
8. Never block the air openings of the 
appliance or place it on a soft surface, such 
as a bed or couch, where the air openings 
may be blocked. Keep the air openings free 
of lint, hair, and the like.
9. Never use while sleeping.
10. Never drop or insert any object into any 
opening or hose.
11. Do not use outdoors or operate where 
aerosol (spray) products are being used or 
where oxygen is being administered.
12. This curling iron and clip are hot when in 
use. Do not let eyes or bare skin touch heated 
surfaces.

13. Do not place the heated iron direct ly 
on any surface or on the appliance power 
cord while it is hot or plugged in. Use the 
built-in counter rest.

14. Do not touch the hot surfaces of this 
appliance. Use the handles or knobs.
15. Before plugging in, read the information 
about dual voltage contained in the instruction 
section of this manual.
16. Do not attempt to touch the housing of 
your appliance near the straightening plates, 
as it is hot when in use.

3. Wind the hair up as far as you want it curled, 
being careful not to let the iron touch the scalp. 
Hold in place for 5-7 seconds, depending on 
the texture and length of your hair. For tighter, 
bouncier curls, roll less hair. For looser, free-
flowing curls, roll more hair. 
4. To remove curling iron, unwind the hair and 
press the automatic curl release. To set the 
curl, do not comb or brush hair until it cools.
5. Use of the brush sleeve attachment is 
very easy to master. When the unit is cool, 
slide the brush sleeve over the iron prior to 
pressing the ON button. Roll one section of 
hair at a time around the hot styling brush 
from the bottom up. 

TO AVOID TANGLING, 

NEVER ROLL THE HAIR AROUND THE HOT 
STYLING BRUSH MORE THAN TWO TIMES.

 

When  hair is warm (not hot) to the touch, the 
curl is set. For hair that is harder to curl, leave 
the hot styling brush in place a little longer. A 
hot styling brush generally gives a lighter curl 
than a curling iron – for very hard to curl hair, 
try switching to the curling iron.
6. The brush sleeve can be used for quick 
touch-ups. After heating the brush sleeve, 
simply brush the hair back to its original style. 
To change the style, mist the hair lightly with 
water before using the hot styling brush. No 
combing is necessary!
7. For soft, spiral curls, use the spiral sleeve 
attachment. Slide the spiral sleeve onto the 
barrel when the barrel is cool, before heating 
up the appliance.
8. To achieve faster styling results we have 
added a unique Turbo Heat

 on/off feature. 

Press the optional turbo button to deliver up 
to 36°F more heat in the highest setting for 
maximum styling performance.

INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING 

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is intended for household use. 
Use on Alternating Current (50/60 hertz) 
only. This unit is designed to be operated at 
120/240 volts AC.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one 
blade is wider than the other.) As a safety 
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet 
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the 
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, 
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt 
to defeat this safety feature.

DUAL VOLTAGE

This appliance has dual voltage. It will auto-
matically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an 
adapter plug with correct configuration, prior 
to use in outlet.

WARNING: The iron’s barrel and straightening 
plates will get very hot within a few seconds 
and should not be placed in contact with the 
skin after the curling iron is turned ON.

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR

To straighten hair, attach straightener styling 
head with ceramic-coated plates. The ceramic 
coating provides even heat distribution for 
maximum styling results. Start with a hair 
section that is 2" wide and no more than 
1/2" thick.  Open the straightener and place a 
hair section between the two hot plates, close 
to your scalp, with caution as plates are hot. 
Trap hair between plates, by firmly squeezing 
the handles together. While maintaining the 
tension, slowly pull the unit down along the 
hair section toward end of hair. At the end of 
the hair section, release the pressure on the 
handle and allow the hair section to slide out. 
Continue this process on additional sections 
of hair until you achieve the hair style you 
desire.

For extra styling, turn the straightening iron 
under when nearing the end of the hair 
section.  This will give a nice flip to your hair.

After a few uses, you will learn the ideal way to 
straighten and style your hair easily.
