INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use. Use on Alternating Current (50/60 hertz) only. This unit is designed to be operated at 120/240 volts AC.
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 appliance 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 tempera- ture will provide the best results. If you have thick, wavy or coarse hair, keep the heat setting on high. You can vary the iron’s temperature according to your particular need!
CURLING BASICS
1.Plug the curling iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press ON button; light will begin to flash. The light will remain on when unit is ready to curl. 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 unit off, it will shut itself off automatically with 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 5-7 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.Use of the brush sleeve attachment is very easy to master. When the unit is cool, slide the brush sleeve over the iron prior to pressing the ON button. Roll one section of hair at a time around the hot styling brush from the bottom up. TO AVOID TANGLING, NEVER ROLL THE HAIR AROUND THE HOT STYLING BRUSH MORE THAN TWO TIMES. When hair is warm (not hot) to the touch, the curl is set. For hair that is harder to curl, leave the hot styling brush in place a little longer. A hot styling brush generally gives a lighter curl than a curling iron – for very hard to curl hair, try switching to the curling iron.
6.The brush sleeve can be used for quick touch-ups. After heating the brush sleeve, simply brush the hair back to its original style. To change the style, mist the hair lightly with water before using the hot styling brush. No combing is necessary!
7.For soft, spiral curls, use the spiral sleeve attachment. Slide the spiral sleeve onto the barrel when the barrel is cool, before heating up the appliance.
8.To achieve faster styling results we have added a unique Turbo Heat™ on/off feature. Press the optional turbo button to deliver up to 36°F more heat in the highest setting for maximum styling performance.
HOW TO CHANGE STYLING HEADS:
Changing styling heads is easy.
1.Make sure appliance is cool.
2.Turn locking dial to the right to the release position to unlock.
3.Pull attachment straight off.
4.To put new attachment on power handle, make sure counter rest faces in opposite direc- tion of switch and light.
5.Push attachment into power handle. Counter rest should be flush against locking dial.
6.Turn locking dial to the left to lock securely into place.

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR
To straighten hair, attach straightener styling head with ceramic-coated plates. The ceramic coating provides even heat distribution for maximum styling results. Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the straightener and place a hair section between the two hot plates, close to your scalp, with caution as plates are hot. Trap hair between plates, by firmly squeezing the handles together. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward end of hair. At the end of the hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair section to slide out. Continue this process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hair style you desire.
For extra styling, turn the straightening iron under when nearing the end of the hair section. This will give a nice flip to your hair.
After a few uses, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair easily.
