Frequently Asked Questions - SCC 35 A1 SILVERCREST

How to use the SILVERCREST SCC 35 A1 curling iron?

Plug in the device, turn it on with the On/Off button, select the temperature suitable for your hair type (1-3 for fine/colored, 3-5 for normal/wavy, 5-7 for thick, M for curly). Wait for the green light to turn on. Wrap a strand around the iron starting from the tip, hold for 5 seconds, then release the clip and gently remove the iron. Let the curl cool before styling.

What temperature should I choose for my hair?

Use levels 1 to 3 for very fine or colored hair (low temperature), 3 to 5 for normal or wavy hair, 5 to 7 for thick hair, and M (Max) for curly or hard-to-curl hair.

Does the curling iron turn off automatically?

Yes, after 30 minutes of inactivity, the device turns off automatically. A red light flashes 5 minutes before shutdown. You can extend usage by pressing the On/Off button.

How to clean the curling iron?

Always unplug the device and let it cool completely. Clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemicals. The storage pouch can be wiped with a damp cloth. The finger guards can be washed in warm water with a little mild detergent.

Can I use the curling iron on wet hair?

No, hair must be clean, dry, and free of styling products (except special curling products). Moisture can damage hair and pose an electrical risk.

How to store the device after use?

Let the iron cool completely until lukewarm, then store it in the provided storage pouch. Keep it in a clean and dry place.

What should I do if the device does not heat?

Check that the plug is properly connected and the device is on (red light on). If the problem persists, contact customer service. Do not attempt to repair yourself.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is not recommended to use an extension cord to allow quick unplugging in an emergency. Plug directly into a wall outlet.

Do the curls last long?

For optimal hold, use the temperature suitable for your hair type. Let the curl cool completely before styling or spraying with hairspray. Avoid touching it too early.

How to use the finger guards?

Put one finger guard on the thumb and one on the index finger of the hand holding the iron. This protects your fingers from heat when wrapping strands.
