OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron is intended for house-
hold use. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz)
only. This unit is designed to be operated at
120V 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 completely dried
before using the straightening iron. Plug the
iron into an electrical outlet. Turn on unit.
The Power/Low 310ºF setting will become
illuminated.
To turn off, press Off button (light will go off).
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 pure
ceramic 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
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!
STYLING WITH THE NEW PURE CERAMIC
TECHNOLOGY EASY-GLIDE PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide pure ceramic surface,
the newest technology. You’ll find not only
that hair glides easily over the surface of the
plates as you’re straightening, but it's simpler
to clean styling products residue, etc. off after
each use. The pure ceramic surface also
helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. It
evenly distributes heat so that the style you
create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth,
shining finish. Hair also slips right through
the plates after it’s straightened.
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure
to work with and makes styling your hair
easier and the results more professional.
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, 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.
Start with a hair section that is 1" 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 prod-
uct 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 protective heat shield storage pouch
has been included to safely store product
away when hot. Great for use at home or
when traveling.
