Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the curling iron and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Inspect: Check the appliance for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal curling results:

1. Power On and Select Temperature: Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds to turn on the curling iron. Press the ON/OFF button repeatedly to cycle through the 5 temperature settings. The LED indicators will show the selected temperature.
2. Pre-heat: Allow the curling iron to heat up for approximately 30 seconds until the selected temperature is reached.
3. Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray. Section your hair into manageable strands.
4. Curl Hair:
   • Take a section of hair and open the clamp.
   • Place the very end of the hair section under the clamp.
   • Press and hold the Left or Right rotation button to automatically wrap the hair around the barrel. Release the button once the hair is fully wrapped or the desired curl position is achieved.

   • Open the clamp and gently release the curled hair.
   • Press the Reset button to return the clamp to its starting position for the next curl.
5. Cool Down: Allow curls to cool completely before styling or brushing to help them set and last longer.

Temperature Settings Guide

Note: Always start with a lower temperature and gradually increase it until you find the right setting for your hair type. Use a heat protectant.

Maintenance and Care

• 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, away from moisture. Do not wrap the power cord around the appliance, as this can damage the cord. Use the provided storage bag if available.
• Cord Care: Regularly inspect the power cord for any damage. If the cord is damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Burning smell during use.

Solution: The temperature setting may be too high for your hair type. Try starting with a lower temperature and gradually increasing it. Always use a heat protectant spray on your hair.

Problem: Curls do not last long on thin/fine hair.

Solution:

• Secure curls as they cool by cupping them in your hand or pinning them up immediately after releasing from the barrel.
• Once cooled, gently comb through curls with your fingers instead of a brush to maintain their shape.
• Finish with a light-hold hairspray to set the style.

Problem: Hair pulling or tangling.

Solution: Ensure hair sections are clean and detangled before curling. Do not attempt to curl too large a section of hair at once. The anti-tangle reverse function can help if hair gets caught.

Problem: Curling iron not heating up.

Solution: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Ensure the power button has been pressed and held for 2 seconds to turn the device on. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
