Getting To Know Your TWIRL AND CURL™ Spiral Curling Iron

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

DUAL VOLTAGE

This appliance utilizes a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating element and operates over a range of voltages.

Confirm the voltage available at each location before using the appliance.

For connection to a 240-volt supply or above, use an attachment plug adaptor (not included) of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle.

USING THE RESERVOIR

Fill the Reservoir with water before using the Iron

Caution: The Reservoir Plug area is very hot immediately after use. Let it cool down before filling.

To Fill:

1. Turn the Reservoir

counterclockwise while pushing it into the Iron, separating it from the rest of the unit. Refer to Diagram C.

2. Remove the Reservoir Plug from

the Reservoir by turning and pulling out. Refer to Diagram B.

3. Dampen the felt on the inside of

the cap with tap water for 5 - 6 seconds. Be sure to dampen the felt of the cap thoroughly before use. Steam will not flow out well if the felt is dry.

4. Fill the Reservoir with tap water. Do not use any water other than tap or distilled water, otherwise malfunctioning may result. Wipe off any spilled water before attaching the Reservoir.

5. Insert the Reservoir Plug back into the Reservoir. Align the Plug Tabs between the Reservoir Slots. Push down, twist and secure into place. Refer to Diagram B.

6. Replace the Reservoir inside the top of the Iron. ALign the Reservoir Tabs with the slots inside the Iron. Push down and trun clockwise until it stops. Refer to the reverse of Diagram C.

HEATING THE IRON

1. Insert the plug into a an AC electrical outlet.

2. Slide the Power Switch to ON indicated by the “1”.

3. When the Heat-Ready Dot changes from red to black, the Iron is ready to use. It will take approximately three minutes for the Heat-Ready Dot to change.

Diagram C

Page 6

4. To prepare the Iron for steam, Press the Reservoir down 3-4 times to allow steam to flow through the Iron. The steam may not always be visible under normal conditions of use. If you hear a hissing sound, steam is being released.

Caution: Do not leave the Iron near plastic, easily melted or flammable materials while the Barrel is hot.

USING THE IRON

Use only on dry hair.

For better curl control, it is recommended to add a styling mousse or styling spray to towel dried hair. Thoroughly dry the hair and proceed with curling.

1. Comb through hair and loosen any tangles.

2. Gather a section of hair 1 inch wide. Make sure that the section is not too thick or hair will not curl properly.

3. Press the Lever to raise the Hair Clamp.

4. Insert the end of the hair under the Hair Clamp on the side where the arrows are facing.(Diagram D)

5. Lower the Hair Clamp to secure the hair against the Barrel.

6. Rotate the handle counterclockwise to wind the hair along the Barrel between the guides. It is easier if you support the Reservoir loosely with the other hand.

7. Press the Reservoir to make steam. Thicker hair might need two or three presses.

8. Hold the curl in place for about 30 seconds (longer for thicker or naturally curly hair).

9. Unwind carefully, raise the Hair Clamp to release the hair, and let the curl cool.

CURLING TECHNIQUE

Before Curling:

Using sections is helpful when curling hair.

1. Begin by sectioning off a "U" shape at the top crown of the head and clip.

Diagram D

Page 7

2. Next, section off each side by taking a part from the crown section to the back of the ear and clip. This divides the front side from the back of the head.

3. Take the back section and divide that horizontally from ear to ear and clip both sections.

4. Within each section take 1-inch vertical sections. Unclip one section at a time.

5. Start curling the hair at the back nape of the neck and work your way up the back of the head.

Caution: Do not rest Iron on skin.

6. Once the back is finished, continue on to the sides.

7. The crown of the head will be the last to be curled. Divide the crown into 3 vertical sections. It

is easiest to take one long 1inch section from part to part, then divide that into a 1-inch wide section.

STORAGE

After use, slide the Power Switch to OFF indicated by the “0”, unplug from outlet and allow the HeatReady Dot to change to red. Once the Iron is completely cooled down, store in a cool dry place. Do not wrap cord around Iron.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Once build-up appears on the Iron, the unit will have to be cleaned. Make sure the Iron is off, unplugged and completely cooled down before cleaning.

Remove the Reservoir, take out the Reservoir Plug, and remove any remaining water.

Wipe the Handle, Barrel, and Hair Clamp with a soft damp cloth.

If the Barrel becomes coated with hair product residue, the holes for the steam will become blocked. To prevent this, use a medium to soft brush (an old toothbrush works best) to remove any build-up and clear out the steam holes. After loosening the residue, wipe down with a soft damp cloth.

Allow to dry completely before use.

Do not use harsh abrasives, cleaning agents or solvents.

Do not place Iron in any liquids.
