OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron is intended for
household use. Use on Alternating Current
(60 hertz) only. This unit is designed to be
operated at 120 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.
TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR
Hair should be clean and damp or dry
before using the straightening iron. Plug
the iron into an electrical outlet. Turn on
unit. The Power/Low 285
º
F default setting
will become illuminated.
To turn off, press On/Off button. 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
tourmaline and 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.
GETTING STARTED USING
WET•DRY TECHNOLOGY
The iron’s unique 5 ultra-high heat 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-
straighten hair, keep the heat setting on high.
You can vary the iron’s temperature according
to your particular need!
There are 5 ultra-high heat Wet
•
Dry
temperature settings for every hair type.
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 styling process.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
TOURMALINE CERAMIC
™
COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have a tourmaline-infused easy-glide
ceramic surface, the latest in technological
advances. The crushed tourmaline jewels
provide ionic and infrared benefits and
combined with ceramic technology
produce the ultimate in healthy, 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
glides 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.
You’ll find not only that hair glides easily over
the surface of the plates as you’re straighten-
ing, but it's simpler to clean styling products
residue, etc. off after each use.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 5 ULTRA-
HIGH HEAT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
& UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This styling iron features a ceramic heater
that maintains temperature during use for
precision styling. It heats up to the temper-
ature you’ve selected for your hair type.
This Instant Heat technology has 5 ultra-
high heat temperature settings. There is a
temperature range that’s gentle and safe
for every type of hair, from the finest to the
curliest and most resistant 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 and
improved heat recovery system that maintains
the iron at constant temperatures. There is
a constant surge of power to ensure that
heat is continuously and quickly delivered for
optimal styling results, unlike other units that
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.
Start with a hair section that is 1
1
⁄
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. 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 the
iron several times, you will learn the ideal way
to straighten and style your hair.
A bonus heat resistant storage pouch has
been included to safely store product away
when hot. Great for use at home or when
traveling.
