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 right 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 iron off, it will shut itself off automatically in approximately 60 minutes.

2. To create spiral curls and ringlets, work with 1" sections of hair, one at a time. Hold iron horizontally, press the automatic curl release button, and place the ends of your hair under the shortened iron spoon. Release the automatic curl release to clamp hair in place. Wrap hair in between spiral grooves on barrel, twisting upward toward the hair root. Leave hair wrapped for approximately 5-7 seconds. Unwind hair from barrel; open the automatic curl release to unclamp hair. Repeat procedure, styling small sections at a time, layering the spiral curls as you go, until all hair is curled.

3. To achieve faster styling, these units feature a unique optional Turbo Heat™ burst. Press the Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/68°F more heat in the highest setting for maximum styling performance.

STYLING WITH THE EASY-GLIDE CERAMIC-COATED BARREL

The barrel of your new curling iron has a Easy-

™

Glide

ceramic-coated surface, the newest

technology. This means you’ll find that hair glides easily

over the surface of the barrel as you’re curling it up and the ceramic-coated surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. As you wind each strand around the barrel, it evenly distributes heat so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair also slips right off the barrel after it’s curled. The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with and makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional. It’s simpler to clean off styling product residue, etc., after each use.

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

This styling iron features Conair’s Instant Heat technology which 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.

Temperature Setting Guide

Temp. Control Hair Type

Low 1-8 Delicate, thin, easy-to-curl hair

Medium 9-14 Average to thick or treated hair

Med-High 15-20 Thick or wavy hair

High 21-25 Hard-to-curl hair

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 flow of power to ensure that heat is continuously delivered for optimal styling results, unlike other units which lose heat during use. This 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.

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, allow to 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.

WARNING:

IF YOU THINK

THE POWER IS OFF

WHEN THE SWITCH

IS OFF,

YOU’RE WRONG.

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
