12. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes 
or bare skin. This straightener is hot when 
in use. 
13. Do not place the heated straightener 
direct ly on any surface or on the appliance 
power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
14. Before plugging in, read the information 
about dual voltage contained in the instruc-
tion section of this manual.
15. Do not touch the housing of your appli-

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.

This straightening iron will automatically adjust 
to the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with 
correct configuration, prior to use in outlet.

This Wet 

•

 Dry Straightener features our exclu-

sive 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.

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 temperature. To turn off, press 
Off button (red light will go off). Never leave 
your straightening iron on and unattended. 
However, if 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 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 
process 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 damp hair.

The plates of your new straightening iron 
have an easy-glide ceramic-coated surface, 
the newest technology. 
This means that hair glides easily over the 
surface of the plates as you’re straightening 
and it is simpler to clean off styling product 
residue after each use. 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.
The ceramic technology is a pleasure to work 
with because it makes styling your hair easier 
and the results more professional.

This straightening iron features Conair’s 
Instant Heat technology. It heats up to the 
temperature you’ve selected for your hair 
type and is then ready to use.
Within this Instant Heat technology there are 
25 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 flow 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.
