Conair CS27FCS - Manual

Within this Instant Heat technology there are
25 variable temperature settings for every type
of hair, wet to dry, from the finest to the curli-
est and most resistant. Select the temperature
range that’s suitable for that hair type to help
you create the look you want.
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.

INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intended for
household use. This unit is designed to operate
at 120/240 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
WET • DRY DESIGN
This Wet • Dry Ceramic Straightener features
our exclusive vent and channel design, allow-
ing 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 block-
ing the vents and direct drying vents away from
your scalp and face.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (120/240V). Press “On/off”
button. The iron will heat up very quickly.
The indicator light will remain on. To turn off,
press “On/off” button (light will go off). To
achieve faster styling, we have added a unique
option at Turbo Heat ™ on/off feature. Press the
Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/68°F more
heat for maximum styling performance. Never
leave your straightening iron on and unat-
tended.
WARNING: The straightening iron's ceram-
ic-coated plates will get very hot within a
few seconds and should not be placed in
contact with the skin after the straighten-
ing 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 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 sec-
tion to slide out. Repeat process on additional
sections of hair until you achieve the hair style
you desire. It may be necessary to repeat pro-
cess 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 wet hair.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide ceramic-coated surface,
the newest technology.
Hair glides easily over the surface of the plates
as you’re straightening. The 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 , and the ceramic surface
is easy to clean.
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure
to work with because it makes styling your
hair easier and the results more profes-
sional.
