INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This curling appliance is intended for house-
hold use. Use on Alternating Current (50/60
hertz) only. 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 curling iron has dual voltage. It will auto-
matically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an
adapter plug with correct configuration, prior
to use in outlet.
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 tem-
perature will provide the best results. If you
have thick, wavy or hard-to-curl hair, keep the
heat setting on high. You can vary the iron’s
temperature according to your particular need!
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut
that’s well maintained. Always treat hair well
with superior quality shampoos, conditioners,
and finishing products.
CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the curling iron cord into a standard
household electrical outlet (120/240V).
Never
leave your curling iron on and unattended.
However, should you fail to turn the unit off,
it will shut itself off automatically within 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.
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 8-12 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. To achieve faster styling results these units
feature a unique, optional Turbo Heat
™
Burst. Press the Turbo button to deliver more
heat for maximum styling performance.
