4. To prepare the Iron for steam,
Press the Reservoir down 3-4
times to allow steam to flow
through the Iron. The steam
may not always be visible under
normal conditions of use. If you
hear a hissing sound, steam is
being released.
7. Press the Reservoir to make
steam. Thicker hair might need
two or three presses.
Caution: Do not leave the Iron near
plastic, easily melted or flammable
materials while the Barrel is hot.
Diagram D
USING THE IRON
Use only on dry hair.
For better curl control, it is
recommended to add a styling
mousse or styling spray to towel
dried hair. Thoroughly dry the hair
and proceed with curling.
8. Hold the curl in place for about
30 seconds (longer for thicker or
naturally curly hair).
9. Unwind carefully, raise the Hair
Clamp to release the hair, and
let the curl cool.
1. Comb through hair and loosen
any tangles.
2. Gather a section of hair
1 inch wide. Make sure that the
section is not too thick or hair
will not curl properly.
CURLING TECHNIQUE
Before Curling:
3. Press the Lever to raise the
Hair Clamp.
Using sections is helpful when
curling hair.
4. Insert the end of the hair under
the Hair Clamp on the side
where the arrows are

facing.(Diagram D)
5. Lower the Hair Clamp to secure
the hair against the Barrel.

2. Next, section off each side by
taking a part from the crown
section to the back of the ear
and clip. This divides the front
side from the back of the head.
STORAGE
After use, slide the Power Switch to
OFF indicated by the “0”, unplug
from outlet and allow the Heat-
Ready Dot to change to red. Once
the Iron is completely cooled down,
store in a cool dry place. Do not
wrap cord around Iron.
3. Take the back section and divide
that horizontally from ear to ear
and clip both sections.
4. Within each section take 1-inch
vertical sections. Unclip one
section at a time.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Once build-up appears on the Iron,
the unit will have to be cleaned.
Make sure the Iron is off, unplugged
and completely cooled down
before cleaning.
5. Start curling the hair at the back
nape of the neck and work your
way up the back of the head.
Remove the Reservoir, take out the
Reservoir Plug, and remove any
remaining water.
Wipe the Handle, Barrel, and Hair
Clamp with a soft damp cloth.
If the Barrel becomes coated with
hair product residue, the holes for
the steam will become blocked. To
prevent this, use a medium to soft
brush (an old toothbrush works
best) to remove any build-up and
clear out the steam holes. After
loosening the residue, wipe down
with a soft damp cloth.
Caution:
Do not rest Iron on skin.
6. Once the back is finished,
continue on to the sides.
7. The crown of the head will be
the last to be curled. Divide the
crown into 3 vertical sections. It
is easiest to take one long 1-
inch section from part to part,
then divide that into a 1-inch
wide section.
Allow to dry completely before use.
Do not use harsh abrasives,
cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not place Iron in any liquids.
