Operating Instructions

• 280°F: Fine, Straight Hair

Curling Technique

1. Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Apply a heat protectant spray if desired.
2. Section your hair into manageable portions, typically 1-2 inches wide.
3. Open the clamp and place a section of hair between the clamp and the barrel, starting a few inches from the root.
4. Close the clamp and wrap the hair around the barrel, away from your face, ensuring the hair is evenly distributed. The extended barrel provides ample space for longer strands.
5. Hold for 5-10 seconds, depending on your hair type and desired curl intensity. Use the cool tip for better control and to avoid burning your fingers.
6. Release the clamp and gently slide the curling iron out of the curl.
7. Allow the curls to cool completely before touching or styling to set the curl.
8. Repeat for all sections of hair.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning: Ensure the curling iron is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the barrel with a soft, damp cloth to remove any product residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the appliance in water.
2. Storage: Store the curling iron in a cool, dry place. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance, as this can damage the cord. The tangle-free swivel cord is designed for durability but should still be stored carefully.
3. Cord Care: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage. If the cord is damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance not heating: Ensure the curling iron is properly plugged into a working outlet and the power switch is in the 'ON' position. Check if the outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
• Inconsistent heat: Verify that the desired temperature setting is selected. Allow sufficient time for the iron to reach the set temperature. If issues persist, contact customer support.
• Hair snagging: Ensure hair is completely detangled before use. Do not wrap too much hair around the barrel at once. The clamp should hold the hair securely but not too tightly.
• Curls not holding: Ensure hair is completely dry. Use a higher temperature setting if your hair type requires it. Allow curls to cool completely before styling.
