INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This styling iron appliance is intended for house-
hold use. This unit is designed to operate at
120/240 volts AC. Use on Alternating Current
(50-60Hz) only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
DUAL VOLTAGE
This styling iron will automatically adjust to the
proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with correct
configuration, prior to use in outlet.
GETTING STARTED
The iron’s 25 temperature settings and Instant
Heat technology provide styling versatility for
all hair types. If you have fine hair, a low tem-
perature will provide the best results. If you have
thick, wavy or hard-to-curl hair, keep the heat
setting on high. You can vary the iron’s tem-
perature according to your particular need!
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s
well maintained. Always treat hair right with
superior quality shampoos, conditioners, and
finishing products.
CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the styling iron cord into a standard
household electrical outlet (120/240V).
Never leave your styling iron on and unattended.
However, should you fail to turn the iron off, it will
shut itself off automatically in approximately
60 minutes.
2. To create spiral curls
and ringlets, work with 1"
sections of hair, one at a
time. Hold iron horizon-
tally, press the automatic
curl release button, and
place the ends of your hair
under the shortened iron
spoon. Hair ends should
be placed on the left side
of the spoon, rolling the
unit in a counter clock-
wise direction so hair falls
into the grooves easily.
Release the automatic curl
release to clamp hair in
place. Wrap hair in be-
tween spiral grooves on barrel, twisting upward
toward the hair root. Press curl press button to
compress hair strand against heated spiral sur-
faces for the perfect spiral. Leave hair wrapped
for approximately 5-7 seconds. Release curl
press button and unwind hair from barrel; open
the automatic curl release to unclamp hair. Re-
peat procedure, styling small sections at a time,
layering the spiral curls as you go, until all hair
is curled.
3. To achieve faster styling results, the spiral
styler features a unique optional Turbo Heat™
burst. Press the Turbo Heat
™
button to deliver up
to 20°C/36°F more heat in the highest setting
for maximum styling performance.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS,
UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM,
AND TURBO HEAT™ FEATURE

technology. This Instant Heat technology includes

MAINTENANCE
Your curling iron is virtually maintenance-free.
No lubrication is needed. If cleaning becomes
necessary, disconnect the curling iron from
the power source, allow to cool and wipe ex-
terior with a cloth. If any abnormal condition
occurs, unplug the curling iron, allow it to cool
and return it for repair to an authorized service
center only. No repairs should be attempted
by the consumer.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled
or twisted. Never wrap the cord around the curl-
ing iron. Damage will occur at the high flex point
of entry into the curling iron, causing it to rupture
and short. Inspect the cord frequently for dam-
age. Stop use immediately if damage is visible
or if unit stops or operates intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance should be dis-
connected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe,
dry location out of reach of children. Do not jerk
or strain cord at plug connections. Do not wrap
the line cord around the appliance. Allow the
cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point
of entry into the appliance.
WARNING: The instant heat barrel will get very
hot within a few seconds and should not be
placed in contact with skin after the curling iron
is turned ON. The special application of this
curling iron will result in an extremely hot barrel
when the high setting is chosen. Always do a
test curl before using the iron to ensure the
proper setting for your hair type.

are a dangerous combination. But did you
know that an electric appliance is still
electrically live even if the switch is off?
If the plug is in, the power is on. So when
you are not using your appliances, keep
them unplugged.
ALWAYS UNPLUG
