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 fi t in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fi t, contact
a qualifi ed 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 confi guration, prior to use in outlet.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
Plug the straightening iron cord into any house-
hold outlet (120/240V). Press ON button. Red
and green lights will blink alternately. When ready
to use, green light will remain on and red light
will turn off. The iron will heat up very quickly.
To turn off, press OFF button. Green light will
go off. Red light will remain on as a safety pre-
caution to indicate the iron is still plugged in.
Never leave your straightening iron on and un-
attended. However, should you fail to turn the
unit off, it will shut itself off automatically
within 60 minutes.
WARNING: The straightening iron’s 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
fi rmly 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.
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.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron have
an easy-glide ceramic surface, the latest in
technological advances. The ceramic even heat
distribution produces the ultimate in healthy,
shiny, silky hair. And you’ll fi nd that hair glides
easily over the surface of the plates as you’re
straightening, and it’s simpler to clean styling
products residue, etc. off after each use. The
ceramic surface also helps smooth down fl yways
and frizzies. As you smooth your hair, heat is
evenly distributed so that the style you create
has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shiny fi nish.
Hair also slips right through the plates after it’s
straightened.
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon
standards of engineering provide you with a Uni-
form 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 fi nish.
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to
work with, makes styling your hair easier and
provides more professional results.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM HEAT
RECOVERY SYSTEM
This straightening iron features Conair’s Instant
Heat technology. It quickly heats up to the tem-
perature you’ve selected for your hair type and
is then ready to use.
Within this Instant Heat technology there are 30
temperature settings for every type of hair, from
the fi nest to the curliest and most resistant.
