OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening and curling iron appliance
is intended for household use. This unit is
designed to operate at 125/250 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 and curling iron will auto-
matically adjust to the proper voltage. Use
an adapter plug with correct configuration,
prior to use in outlet.
it’s straightened.
The ceramic technology makes styling your
hair easier and the results more professional.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1. Be sure locking mechanism on cool tip is
released to open barrel for straightening.
2. Section hair evenly and comb each section.
3. Place hair section between plates and
press together.
4. Slowly guide plates down hair strand.
Repeat as necessary until hair strand is
smooth.
CURLING WITH THE EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED BARREL
The barrel of your new iron has a Easy-
Glide ceramic-coated surface.
The ceramic-coated surface also helps
smooth down flyaways and frizzies while
curling. 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 slips
right off the barrel after it’s curled as well.
The ceramic technology is a pleasure to
work with and makes styling your hair
easier and the results more professional.
CURLING BASICS
1. Be sure the locking mechanism on cool tip
is locked to keep barrel closed while curling.
2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each
section before winding. Pressing the auto-
matic curl release, place curling iron mid-
way up the hair section, then spread hair
evenly between spoon and barrel. Release
automatic curl release to hold hair in
place. Gently slide curling iron down to
hair ends. To avoid crimped ends, make
sure they are securely wound under the
spoon in the direction of the desired curl.
Remember, always place the spoon above
the hair strand when making a curl you
want rolled under; place the spoon under
the hair strand when making a flip style.
3. Wind the hair up as far as you want it
curled, being careful not to let the iron
touch the scalp. Hold in place for 8-12
seconds depending on the texture and
length of your hair. For tighter, bouncier
curls, roll less hair. For looser, free-flow-
ing curls, roll more hair.
4. When finished, unwind the hair and
press the automatic curl release. To set
the curl, do not comb or brush through
hair until it cools.
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 60 seconds and is ready to use.
GETTING STARTED
Your new iron is a 2-in-1 split barrel iron
that can be used to curl or straighten. The
iron’s 25 temperature settings and Instant
Heat 60-second heat-up technology
combined provide styling versatility for all
hair textures. If you have fine hair, a low
temperature will provide the best results.
If you have thick, wavy or hard-to-curl or
straighten hair, keep the heat setting high.
You can vary the iron’s temperature
according to your particular need!
To begin, plug the curling iron cord into
any household outlet (125/250V). Press
the ON button. The iron will heat up very
quickly. To turn off, press the OFF button
(light will go off). Never leave your curling
iron on and unattended.
STRAIGHTENING WITH THE NEW INSTANT
HEAT 2-IN-1 SPLIT BARREL PLATES
The plates of your new iron have an extra-
smooth surface, for maximum straightening
performance.
It’s not only simpler to clean off styling
product residue after each use, but you’ll
also 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 each strand, heat is evenly
distributed so that the style you create has
a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining
finish. Hair slips right off the plates after
