MAINTENANCE

Your 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 iron
from the power source, let it cool and
wipe exterior with a damp cloth. If any
abnormal condition occurs, unplug the iron,
allow it to cool and return it for repair to an
authorized service centre 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. Inspect the cord frequently
for damage. Stop use immediately if damage
is visible or if unit stops or operates intermit

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

This straightening and curling iron appliance
is intended for household use. This unit is
designed to operate at 125/250 volts AC. 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 straightening and curling iron will
automatically adjust to the proper voltage. Use
an adapter plug with correct configuration, prior
to use in outlet.

GETTING STARTED

Your new iron is a 2-in-1 split barrel iron that
can be used to curl or straighten. The iron’s
25 temperature settings and Instant Heat
60-second heat-up technology combined
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 hard-to-curl or straighten hair, keep the heat
setting high. You can vary the iron’s tempera

-

ture according to your particular need!
To begin, plug the iron cord into any house

­hold outlet (125/250V). Press the ON
button. The iron will heat up very quick

­ly. To turn off, press the OFF button (light
will go off). Never leave your iron on and
unattended.

STRAIGHTENING WITH THE NEW INSTANT
HEAT 2-IN-1 SPLIT BARREL PLATES

The plates of your new iron have an
extra smooth surface, for maximum
straightening performance.

It’s not only simpler to clean off styling prod­uct residue after each use, but you’ll also find
that hair glides easily over the surface of the
plates as you’re straightening.

The ceramic surface also helps smooth down
flyaways and frizzies. As you smooth each
strand, heat is evenly distributed so that the
style you create has a salon-perfect, silky
smooth, shining finish. Hair slips right off the
plates after it’s straightened. The ceramic
technology makes styling your hair easier and
the results more professional.

STRAIGHTENING BASICS

1. Be sure locking mechanism on cool tip is re­leased to open barrel for straightening.

2. Section hair evenly and comb each section.

3. Place hair section between plates and press
together.

4. Slowly guide plates down hair strand.
Repeat as necessary until hair strand is
smooth.

CURLING WITH THE EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED BARREL

The barrel of your new iron has a Easy-Glide
ceramic-coated surface.

The ceramic-coated surface also helps smooth
down flyaways and frizzies while curling. As
you wind each strand around the barrel, it
evenly distributes heat so that the style you

Everyone knows that electricity and water
are a dangerous combination. But did you
know that an electrical 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.

YOU’RE WRONG.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

WARNING: The instant heat barrel will get
very hot within a few seconds and should
not be placed in contact with skin after the
curling iron is turned ON. The special
application of this iron will result in an
extremely hot barrel when the high setting is
chosen. Always do a test curl before using the
iron to ensure the proper setting for your hair
type.

create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shin­ing finish. Hair slips right off the barrel after
it’s curled as well.

The ceramic technology is a pleasure to work
with and makes styling your hair easier and
the results more professional.

CURLING BASICS

1. Be sure the locking mechanism on cool tip is
locked to keep barrel closed while curling.

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, free­flowing curls, roll more hair.

4. When finished, unwind the hair and press the
automatic curl release. To set the curl, do not

comb or brush through hair until it cools.

USING INSTANT HEAT & THE 25
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS &
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 in just
60 seconds and is then ready to use.

This Instant Heat technology includes 25
variable temperature settings. Every type of
hair, from the finest to the curliest and most
resistant, has a temperature range that’s
gentle and safe, 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 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.

Low 1-5 Delicate, thin, easy-to-curl hair
