OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

This straightening and curling iron appliance is intended for household use. This unit is designed to operate at 120/240 volts AC. 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 straightening and curling iron will auto- matically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with correct configuration, prior to use in outlet.

GETTING STARTED

Your new iron is a 2-in-1 split barrel iron that can be used to curl or straighten. The iron’s 25 temperature settings and Instant Heat

technology combined 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 hard-to-curl or straighten hair, keep the heat setting high. You can vary the iron’s temperature according to your particular need!

To achieve faster styling results, we have added a unique optional Turbo Heaton/off feature. Press the Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/68°F more heat in the highest setting, for maximum styling performance.

To begin, plug the curling iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press the ON/OFF button and the red indicator light will blink. When ready to use, the red indicator light will remain on. Press the turbo button and the green indicator light will come on. Press ON/OFF button again and the red and green lights will go off. Never leave you curling iron on and unattended. However, should you fail to turn the iron off, it will shut itself off automatically within 60 minutes.

STRAIGHTENING WITH THE NEW INSTANT

HEAT 2-IN-1 SPLIT BARREL PLATES

The plates of your new iron have an extra- smooth surface, for maximum straightening performance.

You'll find that hair glides easily over the sur- face of the plates as you’re straightening and it's simpler to clean off styling product residue after each use.

The ceramic surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. As you smooth each

strand, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair slips right off the plates after it’s straightened.

The ceramic technology makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional.

STRAIGHTENING BASICS

1.Be sure locking mechanism on cool tip is released to open barrel for straightening.

2.Section hair evenly and comb each section.

3.Place hair section between plates and press together.

4.Slowly guide plates down hair strand. Repeat as necessary until hair strand is smooth.

CURLING WITH THE EASY-GLIDE

CERAMIC-COATED BARREL

The barrel of your new iron has a Easy- Glideceramic-coated surface.

The ceramic-coated surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies while curling. As you wind each strand around the barrel, it evenly distributes heat so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair slips right off the barrel after it’s curled as well.

The ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with and makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional.

CURLING BASICS

1.Be sure the locking mechanism on cool tip is locked to keep barrel closed while curling.

2.Section dry hair evenly, and comb each section before winding. Pressing the auto- matic curl release, place curling iron midway up the hair section, then spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. Release automat- ic 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 mak- ing 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 8-12 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.When finished, unwind the hair and press the automatic curl release. To set the curl, do not comb or brush through hair until it cools.
