INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron is intended for house-
hold 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
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.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
Plug the straightening iron cord into any house-
hold outlet (120V/240V). Press ON button. Red
light will blink when heating up. When straight-
ener is ready to use, red light will remain on steady.
The iron will heat up very quickly. To turn off,
press OFF button. Red 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 ceramic-
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
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. Close plates over hair by firmly
squeezing the handles together. While maintain-
ing 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 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
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 easily.
NOTE: Please refer to the temperature setting
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 looking hair. You’ll find that hair glides
easily over the surface of the plates as you’re
straightening, and that it is easier to clean
styling products residue, etc. off the plates
after each use. The ceramic surface also helps
smooth down flyways and frizzies. As you smooth
your hair, heat is evenly distributed so that the
style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth,
shiny finish. Hair also glides right through the
plates after it’s straightened.
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon
standards of engineering provide you with a
Uniform Heat Recovery System to maintain the
straightening iron at a constant temperature.
A constant surge of power ensures that heat is
A constant surge of power ensures that heat is
continuously delivered for optimal styling results,
unlike other units that lose heat during use. It
provides consistent styling power so that every
strand of hair is set with the same level of heat
for uniform results and a perfect finish.
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to
work with, makes styling your hair easier and
provides professional results.
