PRE-HEAT: Rest the iron on its safety stand on a smooth, flat surface and
plug in. Turn on, and allow iron to heat.
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
under
the barrel with
the clamp open. Then close the clamp, making sure that the ends extend
just a tiny bit beyond the clamp.
Keep the section of hair taut as you wind it around the hot barrel by turning
the handle. Wind the curl toward 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. When you are ready to release curl, unwind about half a turn
(for longer hair, unwind a bit more) and open the clamp. Now, gently
withdraw the barrel from the center of curl. Allow curl to cool, and try not to
disturb curls as you proceed in the same manner around whole head.
When completely finished, and all curls have cooled thoroughly, gently
brush and comb hair into the style you wish.
STYLING TIP: For bouncy, flip-up curls, the clamp should be
under
and the
barrel
over
the section of hair at the start of curl. For curl-under, page-boy
styles, the clamp should be
over
and the barrel
under
the hair section at the
start of curl.
USING THE ROTATING HANDLE
TO ROTATE: Simply pull out the lock mechanism end cap and twist. Before
using, be sure that the end cap is in the extended lock position. The handle
will now swivel easily.
FOR STATIONARY USE: Pull out the lock mechanism end cap, reverse the
twist and push inward, positioning locking pins into holes in handle. Your
iron handle is now in the standard stationary position.

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

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks.
If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced
and the line cord replaced.

undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to
fray and break.

ENTIRELY.
