How to Use
This appliance is for household use and can be plugged into any AC electrical
outlet.
GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT:
During the first few minutes of use, you may notice smoke and
a slight odor. This is normal and will quickly disappear.
WARNING:
This multiple temperature, triple-barrel waver has been specially
designed for very coarse, thick, hard-to-curl hair.
Due to this special application, the barrels will be very hot in the HIGH (21-30)
settings. Be very careful when using it.
• Keep unit away from contact with all skin areas.
• Do not touch barrels with fingertips.
• For shorter hair, place a thin plastic comb between scalp and barrels to avoid
touching the scalp.
• Test a small section of hair before using.
SPECIAL FEATURE
The solid-state circuitry in this triple-barrel waver has a sensor that detects
temperature loss and boosts the power to bring the heat level back to optimum
styling temperature. This allows you to style the hair in half the time it takes with
ordinary curling irons.

PREHEATING
1. Rest the triple-barrel waver on its safety stand on a flat, smooth surface and
plug into an electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the triple-barrel waver with the temperature control and set it to
the appropriate setting for your hair type. It will take 60-90 seconds for the
