5. Operating Instructions

General Use

1. Power On: Slide the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The indicator light will illuminate.
2. Select Heat Setting: Adjust the temperature dial to your desired heat level. Higher settings are suitable for thicker or coarser hair, while lower settings are for finer or more delicate hair. Allow the waver a few moments to heat up.
3. Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. For best results and protection, apply a heat protectant spray.
4. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-inch wide, starting from the bottom layers.

Creating Waves

1. Clamp Hair: Starting at the roots, lightly clamp a small section of hair between the barrels.
2. Hold: Hold for a few seconds (typically 3-5 seconds, adjust based on hair type and desired wave intensity).
3. Release and Repeat: Release the clamp and move the waver down the same section of hair, matching the outermost wave created by the previous clamp. Continue this process until you reach the ends of your hair.
4. Style Remaining Hair: Repeat the process for all sections of your hair.
5. Cool Down: Allow waves to cool completely before touching or styling further to help set the style.
6. Finish: For a more natural look, gently run your fingers through your waves. For more defined waves, apply a light-hold hairspray.

After Use

2. Unplug: Disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
3. Cool Down: Allow the waver to cool completely before storing.
4. Lock Plates: Slide the plate-locking switch to the 'LOCK' position for compact storage.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the barrels and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the appliance in water.
• Storage: Store the waver in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. Use the plate-locking switch to keep the barrels closed for compact storage. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance, as this can damage the cord.
• Cord Care: Regularly inspect the power cord for any damage. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the waver is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.

  • Ensure hair is completely dry before styling.
  • Use a higher heat setting if your hair is thick or coarse.
  • Hold each section in the waver for a longer duration.
  • Allow waves to cool completely before touching or brushing.
  • Consider using a styling product like a heat protectant with hold or a light hairspray after styling.
• Hair is getting caught:
  • Ensure hair is thoroughly detangled before use.
  • Work with smaller, manageable sections of hair.
