INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron is intended for
household use. Use on Alternating Current
(50/60Hz) between 125 volts AC and 250
volts AC.
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.
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 illumi-
nated. Allow unit to heat up for several minutes.
WARNING: The straightening iron's metal
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-to-curl 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 1" wide and
no more than 1/4" 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. For best
results, use a light styling product before
blow-drying 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.
REMOVABLE COMBS
Your straightening iron includes a removable
comb attachment. The hard bristle comb will
help to provide tension and guide your hair as
you use the straightening iron. To remove or
attach the comb, turn unit off and allow unit to
cool. Hold unit 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
securely locks into position.
STYLING WITH THE NEW SATIN FINISH
EASY-GLIDE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
has a Satin Finish Easy-Glide ceramic-coated
surface, the newest technology. This means
it’s not only simpler to clean off styling
product residue, etc., after each use, but
you’ll find that hair glides easily over the
surface of the plates as you’re straighten-
ing. The ceramic-coated surface also helps
smoothes down flyaways and frizzies. It
evenly distributes heat so that the style you
create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth,
shining finish. Hair slips right through the
plates after it’s straightened as well.
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 & UNIFORM
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This styling iron features Conair’s Instant
Heat technology. It heats up to the tempera-
ture you’ve selected for your hair type in just
60 seconds and is ready to use.
Within this Instant Heat technology there
are 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 consis-
tent 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.
