INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This styling 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 STYLE HAIR
Hair should be clean and completely dried
before using the styling iron. Plug the iron
into an electrical outlet. Turn on unit. The
Power/Low setting will become illuminated.
To turn off, press Off button (light will go off).
Never leave your styling iron on and unat-
tended. However, should you fail to turn the
unit off, it will shut itself off automatically
within 60 minutes.
WARNING: The styling iron’s tourmaline
ceramic-coated plates will get very hot
within a few seconds.
GETTING STARTED
The iron’s unique three 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-style hair, keep the heat setting on high.
You can vary the iron’s temperature according
to your particular need!
STRAIGHTENING
Start with a hair section that is 1 in. wide
and no more than
1
⁄
2
in. 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 sec-
tion toward the ends 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 addi-
tional 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.
CRIMPING
Push the converter switch to change plates to
crimp. Take a section of hair about 1 in. wide.
Starting at the scalp, close unit over hair and
hold for 5–10 seconds. Repeat, moving down
hair towards ends. You can easily go back and
forth, switching plates to achieve a variety of
crimp/textured styles.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 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 temperature you’ve
selected for your hair type.
This Instant Heat technology has three
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, to help 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 a
constant temperature. There is a constant surge
of power to ensure that heat is continuously
and quickly delivered for optimal styling results,
unlike other irons 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.
