1. Unpack: Carefully remove the curling iron from its packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
2. Inspect: Check the curling iron and power cord for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

4. Power Connection: Plug the 8 ft. professional swivel cord into a standard electrical outlet (110-120V AC).

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to achieve optimal curling results:

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Power On: Turn on the curling iron using the separate On/Off switch. The "On" indicator light will illuminate.
3. Set Temperature: Use the rheostat control dial to select your desired heat setting. Start with a lower temperature for fine or damaged hair and increase as needed for thicker or coarser hair, up to 430°F. Allow the iron to heat up completely.
4. Section Hair: Create a section of hair to curl. The smaller the section, the tighter the curl. The larger the section, the looser the curl.
5. Position Iron: Open the clamp of your curling iron. Place the iron toward the root of your hair section, with the hair positioned between the open clamp and the barrel. Be careful to avoid contact with the scalp or skin.
6. Close and Slide: Lightly close the clamp, then slide it down the section of hair until it reaches the very end. Fully close the clamp.
7. Twist and Wrap: Twist your curling iron upwards towards your roots, wrapping the hair smoothly around the barrel. Hold for a few seconds (typically 5-10 seconds, depending on hair type and desired curl intensity).
8. Release Curl: Gently open the clamp and release the curl. Allow the curl to cool completely before styling or brushing to set the curl.
9. Repeat: Continue sectioning and curling hair until your desired style is achieved.
10. Power Off: Once finished, turn off the curling iron using the On/Off switch and unplug it from the electrical outlet.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Hot Tools curling iron:

• Cleaning: Ensure the curling iron is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the barrel and handle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the appliance in water.
• Storage: Store the curling iron in a cool, dry place. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance, as this can damage the cord.
• Cord Care: Avoid twisting or kinking the power cord. Do not pull on the cord to unplug the appliance; always grasp the plug.
