FOR SPIRAL CURLS AND RINGLETS
Attach spiral sleeve to the 3/4" curling iron
barrel and attach 3/4" iron to power handle.
Work with 1" sections of hair, one at a time.
Hold iron horizontally, press the automatic
curl release button, and place the ends of
your hair under the shortened iron spoon.
Release the automatic curl release to clamp
hair in place. Wrap hair around the barrel,
twisting like a barber pole; continue toward
scalp. Leave hair wrapped for approximately
5-7 seconds. Unwind hair from barrel; open
the automatic curl release to unclamp hair.
Repeat procedure, styling small sections at
a time, layering the spiral curls as you go,
until all hair is curled.
USER
MAINTENANCE
Your curling iron is virtually maintenancefree. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents
and openings clear of dirt and dust. If
cleaning becomes necessary, disconnect
the curling iron from the power source and
wipe exterior with a damp cloth. If any
abnormal condition occurs, unplug the
curling iron, allow it to cool, and return it for
repair to an authorized service center only.
No repairs should be attempted by the
consumer.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be
pulled or twisted. Never wrap the cord
around the curling iron. Damage will
occur at the high flex point of entry into
the curling iron, causing it to rupture and
short. Inspect the cord frequently for
damage. Stop use immediately if
damage is visible or if unit stops or
operates intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance should
be disconnected and stored in a safe, dry
location out of reach of children. Do not
jerk or strain cord at plug connections. Do
not wrap the line cord around the
appliance. Allow the cord to hang or lie
loose and straight at the point of entry
into the appliance.

CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the curling iron cord into any
household outlet (125/250V). 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.
2. Section damp or 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.
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 direction 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.

WARNING: The iron’s barrel and
straightening plates will get very hot
within a few seconds and should not be
placed in contact with the skin after the
curling iron is turned ON.
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.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This curling appliance is intended for household use. 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 curling iron has dual voltage. It will
automatically 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 temperature 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!

TO WAVE
FOR SPIRAL CURLS AND RINGLETS
For flowing waves, separate a wider
section of hair than you normally do for
curling, and roll it as you usually do. For
best results, hair should be at least 6-8
inches long.
Attach spiral sleeve to the 3/4" curling iron
barrel and attach 3/4" iron to power handle.
Work with 1" sections of hair, one at a time.
Hold iron horizontally, press the automatic
curl release button, and place the ends of
your hair under the shortened iron spoon.
Release the automatic curl release to clamp
hair in place. Wrap hair around the barrel,
twisting like a barber pole; continue toward
scalp. Leave hair wrapped for approximately
5-7 seconds. Unwind hair from barrel; open
the automatic curl release to unclamp hair.
Repeat procedure, styling small sections at
a time, layering the spiral curls as you go,
until all hair is curled.
FOR TOUSLED HAIR
Create soft, tousled waves by curling each
hair section in a random direction. Then,
turn head upside down, shake, and gently
scrunch hair with fingers. Bring head back
to position and repeat for fullest volume.
WIDE WAVES
Pick up a section of hair and place the curling
iron under it,
close to the scalp,
making half a
turn downward. Remove the curling iron.
Working with the same hair section, start
where you left off and place the curling iron
on top of the hair, curling it up half a turn.
Proceed down the same hair section,
alternating the curl upward and downward.
Repeat procedure with remaining sections of
hair. For best results, hair should be about 68 inches long.
