INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This curling appliance is intended for
household 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
automatically adjust to the proper volt-
age. Use an adapter plug with correct
configuration prior to use in outlet.
GETTING STARTED
20 temperature settings and instant
heat technology combine to provide
styling versatility for all hair textures. If
you have fine hair, a low temperature
will provide the best results. If you have
thick, wavy or coarse hair, keep the heat
setting high. You can vary your GE
iron’s temperature according to your
particular need!
CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the curling iron cord into any
household outlet (120 - 125V). Press
“ON” button; the indicator light will
illuminate and begin flashing off and
on. The iron is at the desired tempera-
ture setting when LED light stops flash-
ing and remains illuminated. 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 iron off, it will shut itself off
in approximately 70 minutes.
2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb
each section before winding. Pressing
the professional spring grip, place
curling iron midway up the hair sec-
tion, then spread hair evenly between
spoon and barrel. Release profession-
al spring grip 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.
