Operating Instruction
Pre-heat:
Place the iron safely on a smooth, flat surface and plug in. Set the heat switch at Hi or Low position, (about 5
minutes). For first time use, there may be a little smoke while this coating is initially heated. This is quite normal. Use Hi
heat for normal, easy-to-curl hair. For hard-to-curl hair, simply hold hair wound around barrel a bit longer. Use Low heat for
hair that has been color-treated, or is fragile of damaged.
Styling:
Start by sectioning hair into strands of not more than 1 inch deep and 2 inches wide. Keep the hair strand smooth
by brushing or combing through the section while holding the ends taut with the other hand. Taking one section at a time,
place the ends of hair over the barrel with the clamp open. Then close the clamp, making sure that the ends extend just a
tiny bit beyond the clamp. Grasp the cool safety tip with the other hand, and it will be easy to roll hair. Keep the section of
hair taut as you wind it around the hot barrel by turning the handle with one hand and the cool safety tip with the other.
Wind the curl toward your scalp as far as you wish to go without touching scalp with the hot barrel. Hold the curl in place for
up to 20 seconds for tight curls or if hair is hard to curl. Hold for less time if hair is easy to curl or if you want loose curls or
just waves. Gently withdraw the barrel from the center of curl. Allow curl to cool, when completely finished, and all curls
have cooled thoroughly, gently brush and comb hair according to style you wish.
Warning:
This appliance is equipped with a grounded, Type G, 3-pin power supply cord. This is a safety feature. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of this plug.
