INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

This straightening iron appliance is intended
for household use. This unit is designed to
operate at 120/240 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 iron will automatically adjust
to the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with
correct configuration, prior to use in outlet.

DRYING SYSTEM WITH

UNIQUE WET • DRY DESIGN

This Wet • Dry Ceramic Straightener features
our exclusive vent and channel design, allow­ing for use on dry or damp hair. When used on
damp hair, simply press the WET button (green
light will come on) and excess water is forced
into channels where it can escape as steam.
The steam evaporates through the vents in
the housing, while the hair’s natural moisture
is sealed into the cuticle. Once done or before
using your straightener on dry hair, press the
WET button again to go back to the normal dry
hair setting.

CAUTION: Steam evaporating through the
vents may be hot. During use, avoid touching
or blocking the vents and direct drying vents
away from your scalp and face.

STRAIGHTENING BASICS

1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (120/240V). Press ON/OFF
button (the red light will go on). The iron will
heat up very quickly. The green indicator light
will indicate that the unit is set to the
WET setting. To turn off, press OFF button (red
light will go off). Never leave your straighten­ing iron on and unattended. However, should
you fail to turn the unit off, it will shut itself off
automatically within 60 minutes.

WARNING: The straightening iron's ceram­ic-coated 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.

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 or how
damp it is.

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.

NOTE: Please refer to the temperature setting
guide for heat settings, especially if using your
iron on wet hair.

STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE

CERAMIC-COATED PLATES

The plates of your new straightening iron have
an easy-glide ceramic surface, the latest in
technological advances. The unique wet • dry
venting system combined with high ceramic
heat produces the ultimate in healthy, shiny,
silky hair. 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.
The 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,
shining finish. Hair also slips right through the
plates after it’s straightened.

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

Our omega plates not only create the straight­est strands you can get, but also perfect
flipped ends. The specially designed curved
edge of the iron plates allows you to flip hair
up or down as you like it!

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30

WET• DRY TEMPERATURE SETTINGS &

UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

This straightening iron features Conair’s Instant
Heat technology. It heats up to the temperature
you’ve selected for your hair type quickly and is
then ready to use.

Within this Instant Heat technology there are
30 wet • dry temperature settings for every
type of hair, from the finest to the curliest and
most resistant. Use the low settings for wet/
damp hair and as your hair dries turn to the
medium settings. Once hair is completely dry,
use the medium to high settings to complete
the straightening process.

Temperature Setting Guide

TEMP. CONTROL HAIR TYPE

Low/Wet 1-10 Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten hair

Medium/Damp 11-17 Average to thick or treated hair

set with the same level of heat and comes out
the same way for a perfect finish.

MAINTENANCE

Your straightening iron is virtually maintenance­free. 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. 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
store out of reach of children in a safe, dry
location. Do not jerk or strain cord at plug
connections.

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
