INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This curling appliance is intended for
household 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 brush has dual voltage. It
will automatically adjust to the proper
voltage. Use an adapter plug with cor-
rect configuration, prior to use in outlet.
GETTING STARTED
20 temperature settings and instant
heat technology combine to provide
styling versatility for all hair textures. If
you have fine hair, a low temperature
will provide the best results. If you have
thick, wavy or coarse hair, keep the heat
setting high. You can vary the tempera-
ture of your GE brush according to
your particular need!
CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the curling brush cord into any
household outlet (120V). Press “ON”
button; the indicator light will illumi-
nate and begin flashing off and on. The
brush is at the desired temperature set-
ting when LED light stops flashing and
remains illuminated. The brush will
heat up very quickly. To turn off, press
“OFF” button (light will go off).
Never leave your curling brush on and
unattended. However, should you fail
to turn the brush off, it will shut itself
off in approximately 70 minutes.
2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb
each section before winding. Place
curling brush midway up the hair sec-
tion, then spread hair evenly along
the barrel. Gently slide curling brush
down to hair ends. To avoid tangling
hair, do not roll it around the brush
more than two times.
3. Wind the hair up as far as you want it
curled, being careful not to let the
brush touch the scalp. Hold in place for
8-12 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 curling brush, carefully
unwind the hair and slowly pull out
the brush. To “set” the curl, do not
comb or brush hair until it cools.
