Tourmaline Technology
Your Nicky Clarke hair curling tong uses tourmaline
technology which helps make hair softer and easier to style.
Tourmaline is a precious stone that has been finely crushed
and added to the ceramic coating, promoting natural benefits
for the hair.
Using Your Curling Tong

1) Ensure your hands are dry and your hair is completely
dry and tangle free before using your curling tong.
2) Ensure there is no moisture on the appliance, or on the
plug
3) Plug the unit into a suitable mains supply and switch on.
Select the desired temperature setting.
For Customer Services please call 0345 209 7461

4) Always place your curling tong on a solid, flat, stable,
heat resistant surface. Do not place your curling tong on
a soft or uneven surface such as a carpet, bedding or rug
and never cover your curling tong. The barrel reaches
high temperatures very quickly.
5) Switch your curling tong on by pressing and the on/off
button. The display will flash 140ºC and your curling
tong will start to heat up.
6) When 140ºC is reached, the display will stop flashing.
The barrel stays at this heat setting unless the
temperature is adjusted on the display.
7) Select the most suitable heat setting for your hair type
by sliding/pressing the desired temperature on the
display. As with all products that reach salon high
temperatures, do not use your curling tong too
frequently to avoid damaging your hair.
8) Press the lock button to avoid accidentally adjusting the
temperature mid use.
9) When a higher temperature has been selected the light
will flash, and become solid when reached. There will be
a short delay. When the selected temperature has been
reached the display will occasionally flash on and off
during operation. This is normal.
10) If you choose to reduce the temperature, press or
slide to a lower temperature on the display until the
required temperature is displayed. The displayed
temperature will flash. Please note that it will take some
time to reduce to the lower temperature.
11) Style your hair as desired.

12) Use the lowest heat setting, 140ºC, for fine and short
hair Use the highest heat setting, 200ºC, for thick and
long hair. Once the hair is curled around the curling
tong, hold in place for 5-10 seconds depending on the
texture and length of hair. For tighter curls use less hair
when wrapping the hair around the barrel. For looser
curls, select thicker sections of hair to wrap around the
curling tong.
13) Switch off by pressing the on/off button for 1-2 seconds
and unplug your curling tong immediately after use.
Always allow your curling tong to completely cool down
on a heat proof mat before storing.

unit is not used, for example no controls are touched for
approximately 1 hour, the unit will automatically switch itself
off. To restart the unit, press and hold the on/off button for
about 2 seconds.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To ensure your curling tong remains at its optimal
performance, it will require regular cleaning and
maintenance.
1) Switch the curling tong off, unplug from the mains, allow
to cool fully, and discharge any residual charge by sliding
the temperature display.

2) Wipe over the casing using a soft damp cloth (if
necessary a very small amount of washing up liquid may
be used on the outer case only). DO NOT immerse the
unit in water or any liquid.
3) DO NOT use any harsh abrasives or cleaners as these
will damage the appliance.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE CURLING TONG BY
INSERTING AN IMPLEMENT
If you have long hair or use large amounts of styling
products, clean the barrel regularly i.e. once a month
Troubleshooting

wrap the supply cord around your curling tong. Ensure the
plates are sufficiently cooled before locking the curling tong.
Store your curling tong in a cool, dry, safe place out of the
reach of children.

This appliance has been designed for BS Plug outlets only. It
can be used with a suitable adapter, but under no
circumstances should the plug ever be removed and changed
for a different type. Any action to physically change the plug
outside of changing the fuse will void the warranty on this
appliance.

cover must be refitted. The appliance must not be used
without the fuse cover fitted.
