OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening 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 iron will automatically
adjust to the proper voltage. Use an adapter
plug with correct configuration, prior to use
in outlet.
DRYING SYSTEM WITH UNIQUE
DRY

WET
•
DRY DESIGN
This Wet
•
Dry Tourmaline Ceramic
Straightener 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 channels 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
1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (125/250V). Press On
button (the red light will blink indicating
that the staightener is heating up). The
iron will heat up very quickly. The green
indicator light will light indicating that the
unit is set to “wet” setting and will blink
until the unit reaches the proper tempera-
ture. To turn off, press Off button (red light
will go off). Never leave your straightening
iron on and unattended.
WARNING: The straightening iron's
Tourmaline 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.
Start with a hair section that is 1" wide
and no more than
1
/
8
" 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. 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 or how damp it is.
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.
NOTE:
Please refer to the temperature
setting guide for heat settings, especially if
using your iron on damp hair.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
TOURMALINE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide Tourmaline 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 Tourmaline 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 Tourmaline ceramic technology is a
pleasure to work with because it makes
styling your hair easier and the results more
professional.
NEW!
STRAIGHTENING PINS
The new straightening pin feature detangles
and tames even the most unruly tangles and
frizz. This added benefit is ideal for all hair
types, especially thick and coarse hair.

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 30 seconds and is then ready to use.
Within this Instant Heat technology there are
30 variable wet
•
dry temperature settings 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 set-
tings to complete the straightening process.
Temperature Setting Guide
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon
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 ensure
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.
