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.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into 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 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. 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.

WARNING: The straightening iron's ceramic 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!

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. Do not allow the plates to touch the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the

shiny, silky hair. The tourmaline ceramic surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. As you smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth finish. Hair also slips right through the plates after it’s straightened.

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

And it’s not only simpler to clean styling products residue, etc. off after each use – you’ll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straightening.

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM

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 30 seconds and is ready to use.

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 surge 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.

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
