User Maintenance & Storage

Maintenance

Your curling iron requires minimal maintenance. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning is necessary, disconnect the iron from the power source, allow it to cool, and wipe the exterior with a cloth. If any abnormal condition occurs, unplug the iron, let it cool, and return it to an authorized service center for repair. Do not attempt consumer repairs.

Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or if the unit stops or operates intermittently.
