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
DRY
,
N STRAIGHT ™ 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 (120/240V). Press On but-
ton (the red light will blink indicating that
the straightener 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 temper-
ature. To turn off, press Off button (red light
will go off). Never leave your straightening
iron on and unattended.
WARNING: The straightening iron's tour-
maline 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 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 sec-
tion 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 cer-
tain 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.
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 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.
NEW! STRAIGHTENING COMB
The new straightening comb detangles and
tames even the most unruly tangles and
frizz. This added benefit is ideal for all hair
types, especially thick and coarse hair.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30 WET • DRY
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.
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.
