Cleaning

(After pulling out the plug and waiting for the barrel to become completely cool)

Use a cloth that has been soaked in soap and water and well wrung out. Do not use substances like benzine, thinner, or alcohol.

Clean the two negative ion nozzles (left and right side) regularly (about once every 6 months) as described below to ensure that the curling iron does not lose its ability to release negative ions.

Cleaning method

Use a cotton swab Ⓐ to lightly rub about 5 times the center of part ⓑ inside of the negative ion nozzles Ⓐ.

We recommend using thin cotton swabs sold for babies. Regular cotton swabs will work; however, they may be difficult to insert into the nozzles.
