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 iron has dual voltage. It will auto­matically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an
adapter plug with correct configuration, prior
to use in outlet.

GETTING STARTED

The iron’s 25 temperature settings and Instant
Heat technology provide styling versatility for
all hair types. If you have fine hair, a low tem­perature will provide the best results. If you
have thick, wavy or hard-to-curl hair, keep the
heat setting on high. You can vary the iron’s
temperature according to your particular need!

SUPER STYLING GUIDE

Your best looks begin with a good haircut
that’s well maintained. Always treat hair well
with superior quality shampoos, conditioners,
and finishing products.

CURLING BASICS

1. Plug the curling iron cord into a standard
household electrical outlet (120/240V). Never

leave your curling iron on and unattended.

However, should you fail to turn the unit off,
it will shut itself off automatically within 60
minutes.

2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each
section before winding. Pressing the automatic
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. 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.

Remember, always place the spoon above
the hair strand when making a curl you want
rolled under; place the spoon under the hair
strand when making a flip style.

3. Wind the hair up as far as you want it
curled, being careful not to let the iron 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 iron, unwind the hair and
press the automatic curl release.To set the
curl, do not comb or brush hair until it cools.

5. To achieve faster styling results these units
feature a unique, optional Turbo Heat

™

Burst. Press the Turbo button to deliver more
heat for maximum styling performance.

USING INSTANT HEAT AND THE 25

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

AND HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

This styling iron features Conair’s Instant Heat
technology. It heats up to the temperature
you’ve selected for your hair type.

This Instant Heat technology includes 25
variable temperature settings for every type
of hair, from the finest to the curliest and
most resistant. Select the temperature range
that’s suitable for your hair type to help you
create the look you want.

And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon
standards of engineering provide you with
a Uniform Heat Recovery System that maintains
the curling iron at constant temperatures.

There is a constant surge of power to ensure
that heat is continuously delivered for optimal
styling results, unlike other units which lose
heat during use. This recovery system pro­vides consistent styling power so that every
strand of your hair is set with the same level
of heat and comes out the same way for a
perfect finish.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

Everyone knows that electricity and water are
a dangerous combination. But did you know
that an electric appliance is still electrically
live even if the switch is off? If the plug is in,
the power is on. So when you are not using
your appliances, keep them unplugged.

ALWAYS UNPLUG

SMALL APPLIANCES

WARNING:

IF YOU THINK
THE POWER IS OFF
WHEN THE SWITCH

IS OFF,

YOU’RE WRONG.

USER

MAINTENANCE

Your curling iron is virtually maintenance-free.
No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and
openings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning
becomes necessary, disconnect the curling iron
from the power source, let it cool, and wipe
exterior with a cloth. If any abnormal condition
occurs, unplug the curling iron, allow it to cool,
and return it for repair to an authorized service
center only. No repairs should be attempted by
the consumer.

CAUTION

NEVER allow the power supply cord to
be pulled or twisted. Never wrap the cord
around the curling iron. Damage will occur at
the high flex point of entry into the curling iron,
causing it to rupture and short circuit. Inspect
the cord frequently for damage. Stop use imme­diately if damage is visible or if unit stops or
operates intermittently.

STORAGE

When not in use, your appliance should be
disconnected, allowed to cool, and stored in a
safe, dry location out of reach of children. Do
not jerk or strain cord at plug connections.
Do not wrap the line cord around the appliance.
Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight
at the point of entry into the appliance.
