4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective use of your hot air brush.
Preparation: Ensure your hair is towel-dried and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.

Power On and Select Setting: Use the switch on the handle to turn on the appliance and select your desired power level. The Timco AJ-300-3 offers two power levels. Start with a lower setting for fine or damaged hair, and a higher setting for thick or coarse hair.
Styling:
Using the Brushes: Section your hair. Take a section and place the brush near the roots. Gently pull the brush through your hair, rotating it as you go, to dry and style simultaneously. Repeat for all sections.
Using the Curling Tong: Take a small section of hair. Open the clamp of the curling tong, place the hair between the clamp and the barrel, and close the clamp. Wrap the hair around the barrel, holding for a few seconds (depending on desired curl and hair type). Release the clamp and gently slide the tong out.
Finish: Once styling is complete, switch off the appliance and unplug it from the outlet. Allow the appliance and attachments to cool down completely before storing.
