No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appli-ance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol ( square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Using the auto wrap barrels

• The product comes with 2 auto wrap barrels. The left one has an arrow pointing to the left whereas the right one pointing to the right .
• Use the left one on the left side of your head for anticlockwise curls and the right one on the right side of your head for clockwise curls.

2. Turn on the product.

3. Hold the hair section and place the top/middle part of it onto the auto wrap barrel (see step 1 in Fig. D).
   The auto wrap barrel automatically wraps your hair section around the barrel.
   Make sure your hair is not too wet if it shows difficulty wrapping around the barrel.

4. Gradually move the product towards your head and allow the auto wrap barrel to wrap the whole hair section (see step 2 in Fig. D).

5. Once the wrapping ends, let go of the hair section and allow the product to continue heating the hair section until the desired curls reveal.
   The required time and temperature may vary depending on the texture and moisture level of your hair.

6. Once the curls form, press and hold the temperature button 6 for around 2 seconds to activate the cool air function. Allow the cool air to blow for around 10 seconds. This helps to set the styling.

7. When styling is done, pull the product straight down to release the hair section.
