INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

This straightening iron is intended for house­hold use. Use on Alternating Current (50/60
hertz) only. This unit is designed to be oper­ated at 120/240 volts A/C.

DUAL VOLTAGE

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

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR

Hair should be clean and completely dried
before using the straightening iron. For best
results, use a light styling product before blow­drying hair. Plug the iron into an electrical
outlet. Turn on unit. The power indicator light
should become illuminated. Allow unit to heat
up for several minutes.

To turn off, press Power On/Off button (light
will go off).

Never leave your straightener on and unat­tended. However, should you fail to turn the
straightener off, it will shut itself off auto­matically within 60 minutes.

WARNING: The straightening iron's ceramic­coated plates will get very hot within a few
seconds and should not be placed in contact
with the skin after the straightening iron has
been turned on.

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-to­straighten hair, keep the heat setting on
high. You can vary the iron’s temperature

according to your particular need!

REMOVABLE COMB

Your straightening iron includes a removable
comb attachment. The comb will help to pro­vide tension and guide your hair as you use
the straightening iron. Be sure to turn iron off
and allow it to cool before removing or attach­ing the comb. To remove it, hold the iron firmly
with one hand; with your other hand, slide
comb away from the iron. When replacing the
comb, align the comb with the slot on the side
of the iron and slide comb into position. Make
sure the comb locks securely into position.

STYLING WITH THE NEW SATIN FINISH

®

EASY-GLIDE

CERAMIC-COATED PLATES

The plates of your new straightening iron
have a Satin Finish

®

Easy-Glide ceramic­coated surface, the newest technology. This
means your hair will glide easily over the
surface of the plates as you’re straightening.
The ceramic-coated surface helps smooth
down flyaways and frizzies. It evenly distrib­utes heat so that the style you create has a
salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish.
Hair also slips right through the plates after
it’s straightened. Styling product residue is
simple to clean off ceramic-coated plates.

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

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS AND

UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

This styling iron features Conair’s Instant Heat
technology. This Instant Heat technology has
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 for it and helps 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
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.

Temperature Setting Guide

TEMP. CONTROL HAIR TYPE

Low 1-8 Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten

Medium 9-14 Average to thick or treated hair

Med-High 15-20 Thick or wavy hair

Turbo Heat

Up to 20°C/68°F burst of heat

for difficult styling spots

Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and
no more than 1/2" thick. Open the iron and
place a hair section between the two hot
plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between
the plates by firmly squeezing the handles
together. While maintaining the tension,
slowly pull the unit down along the hair
section toward the end of hair. At the end
of hair section, release the pressure on the
handle and allow the hair section to slide
out. Repeat process on additional sections
of hair until you achieve the hair style you
desire. It may be necessary to repeat pro­cess on certain areas, depending on the
texture of your hair.

Some experience is necessary when learning
to use this straightening iron. After using iron
several times, you will learn the ideal way to
straighten and style your hair easily.

For faster styling results, we have added a
unique optional Turbo Heat on/off feature.
Press the Turbo button to deliver up to
20°C/68°F more heat in the highest setting,
for maximum styling performance.

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

SMALL APPLIANCES

USER

MAINTENANCE

Your straightening 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 unit from the power source, allow to cool
and wipe exterior with a cloth. If any abnormal
condition occurs, unplug the unit, allow it to
cool, and return it for repair to an authorized
service representative only. No repairs should
be attempted by the consumer.

CAUTION

NEVER allow the power supply cord to be
pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap
the cord tightly around the appliance. Damage
will occur at the high flex point of entry into
the appliance, 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 is easy to
store. Allow appliance to cool, then simply
put back in the box and store out of reach of
children in a safe, dry location. 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.
