INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This curling appliance is intended for house-
hold use. Use on Alternating Current (50/60
hertz) 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 curling iron has dual voltage. It will auto-
matically 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
temperature according to your particular need!
