This straightening iron appliance is intended
for household use. This unit is designed to
operate at 120/240 volts AC. Use on Al ternating Current (50/60 hertz) only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safet y
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 electr ician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safet y feature.
DUAL VOLTAGE
This straightening iron will automatically adjust
to the proper voltage. Use an adapt er plug with
correct configuration, prior t o use in outlet.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (120/240V). Press ON/OFF
button. Red light will blink until it reaches
desired temperature setting and then becomes
soild. To activate Turbo, press button and green
light will go on and increase plate temperatures up to 15-20 degrees C. To turn off, press
ON/OFF button again until red light goes out.
Never leave your straightening iron on and
unattended. However, should you fail to turn

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 proces s on certain
areas, depending on the texture of your hair.

unique optional Turbo Heat on/off feature. Press
the Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/36°F
more heat in the highest setting, for maximum
styling performance.
NOTE: Please refer to the temperature set ting
guide for heat settings.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
FLOATING CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron are
designed with a little give, to “float” in your iron.
This provides better contact with hair, eliminating
gaps for straighter results. The easy-glide
ceramic surface is the one of the la test – and
best – technological advances in hair appliances.
The ceramic even heat distribution produces the
ultimate in healthy, shiny, silky looking hair. You’ll
find that hair glides easily over the surface of the
plates as you’re straightening, and that it is
easier to clean styling products residue, etc. off
the plates after each use. The ceramic surface
also helps smooth down flyways and frizzies. As
you smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed
so that the style you create has a salon-perfect,
silky smooth, shiny finish. Hair also glides right
through the plates after it ’s straightened.
And that’s not all. Conair’s pro fessional salon standards of engineering provide you with a Unif orm
Heat Recovery System t o maintain the straightening iron at a constant temperature.
A constant surge of power ensures that heat is
continuously delivered for optimal styling results,
unlike other units that lose heat during use. I t
provides consistent styling power so that every
strand of hair is set with the same level of heat
for uniform results and a per fect finish.
Ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with,
makes styling your hair easier and provides
professional results.
