INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron is intended for
household use. This unit is designed to
operate at 125/250 volts AC. Use on Alter-
nating 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 adapt-
er plug with correct configuration, prior to
use in outlet.
DRYING SYSTEM WITH UNIQUE
DRY’N STRAIGHT™ WET • DRY DESIGN
GETTING STARTED
This Wet • Dry Nano Ceramic Straight-
ener features our exclusive vent and
channel design, allowing for use on
dry or damp hair. When used on damp
hair, excess water is forced into chan-
nels 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.
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
Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (125/250V). Press “ON”
button (the red light will go on to indicate
that the straightener is plugged in). The
iron will heat up very quickly.
The green indicator light will indicate that
the unit is heating up. To turn off, press
“OFF” button (green light will go off. Red
light will remain on as a safety precaution
to indicate the iron is still plugged in). Nev-
er leave your straightening iron on
and unattended.
WARNING: The straightening iron’s 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 be-
tween 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 lotion
before blow-drying hair. At the end of hair
section, release the pressure on the handle
and allow the hair section to slide out. Re-
peat 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.
NOTE:
Please refer to the temperature
setting guide for heat settings, especially if
using your iron on wet hair.
Some experience is necessary when learn-
ing to use this straightening iron. After us-
ing iron several times, you will learn the
ideal way to straighten and style your hair
easily.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
NANO TITANIUM CERAMIC-COATED
PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an Easy-Glide nano titanium ceramic-
coated surface, the newest technology.
This means 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 nano titanium ceramic-
coated 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 it’s straightened.
The new nano titanium ceramic technology
is a pleasure to work with because it makes
styling your hair easier and the results
more professional.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 WET-DRY
VARIABLE 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 in just 60 seconds and is then ready
to use.
Within this Instant Heat technology there
are 25 variable wet-dry temperature set-
tings 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.
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional sa-
lon standards of engineering provide you
with a Uniform Heat Recovery System that
maintains the straightening iron at a
constant temperature.
There is a constant surge of power to en-
sure 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.
