HOW TO OPERATE YOUR CORDLESS
THERMACELL CURLING IRON
1. Remove the protective cap from the
cartridge. Keep the cap in a safe place so
you can put it back on the cartridge for future
storage. Push the ‘OFF’ button to make sure
styler is off.
2. Insert the threaded end of the cartridge
into the curling iron handle and slide it in
until it stops, then screw cartridge in a clock-
wise direction until it is secure. MAKE SURE
THE SWITCH IS OFF UNTIL YOU ARE READY
TO USE THE IRON, OR YOU WILL WASTE
BUTANE.
3. When you are ready to use the iron to style
your hair, press the ‘ON’ button.
Wait 5 seconds, then press the ignitor switch
several times. You may hear a slight popping
sound as iron starts. For curling iron only: look
into the circular window lens at the end of the
cool tip. If the iron is heating, a glowing wire will
be visible. If not, press the ignitor switch a few
more times.
THE IRON WILL BE READY TO USE WITHIN
TWO MINUTES. NEVER LEAVE THE IRON
‘ON’ AND UNATTENDED.
4. After you have finished styling your hair,
please remember to press the ‘OFF’ button.
Remove the cartridge from the iron and
replace the cap. Do not store the cartridge
in the iron.
CURLING BASICS:
1. Section dry hair evenly and comb each
section before winding. Pressing the auto-
matic curl release, place curling iron midway
up the hair section, then spread hair evenly
between spoon and barrel. Release automatic
curl release to hold hair in place and gently
slide curling iron down to hair ends. To avoid
crimped ends, make sure they are securely
wound under the spoon in the direction of the
desired curl.
2. Always place the spoon above the hair
strand when rolling a curl under; place the
spoon under the hair strand when making a
flip style.
3. Wind hair up as far as you want it curled,
being careful not to let the iron touch the
scalp. Hold in place for 8 to 12 seconds,
depending on the texture and length of your
hair. For tighter, bouncier curls, roll less hair.
For looser, free-flowing curls, roll more hair.
4. To remove iron, unwind the hair strand
and press the automatic curl release. To set
the curl, do not comb or brush hair until it
cools. If you want a natural, ropey, ‘beachy’
new look, just finger-comb strands, first rub-
bing a tiny bit of gel on your fingertips.
5. After you have finished styling your hair,
please remember to press the ‘OFF’ button to
turn off the iron.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
Start with a hair section that is 2 in. (5 cm) wide
and no more than 1/2 in. (1.25 cm) thick. Open the
iron and place a hair section between the two hot
plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between the
plates and while maintaining tension, slowly pull
the unit down along the hair section toward the end
of hair. At the end of hair section, release the pres-
sure on the handle and allow the hair section to
slide out. Repeat process on additional sections of
hair until you achieve the hair style you desire. It
may be necessary to repeat process on certain
areas, depending on the texture of your hair.
Some experience is necessary when learning to
use this straightening iron. After using iron sev-
eral times, you will learn the ideal way to straight-
en and style your hair easily.
