SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING 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 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. DRYING SYSTEM WITH UNIQUE WET • DRY DESIGN 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. TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR Hair should be clean and completely dried or damp before using the straightening iron. Plug the iron into an electrical outlet. Turn on unit. The power indicator light should become illuminated. Allow unit to heat up for several minutes. WARNING: The straightening iron’s 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 straightening iron’s 30 temperature settings and Instant Heat technology combine to provide styling versatility for all hair textures. If you have fi ne hair, a low temperature will provide the best results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to-straight- en hair, keep the heat setting high. You can vary the straightening iron’s temperature according to your particular need! STRAIGHTENING BASICS 1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press ON button, red indicator light will blink. The iron will heat up very quickly. The red indicator light will stop blinking and remain on when the iron is ready to use. 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 au- tomatically within 60 minutes. 2. Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than ½" 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. For best results, use a light styling lotion 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 iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair easily. STYLING WITH EASY-GLIDE TITANIUM- TOURMALINE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES The plates of this straightening iron are coated with a combination of the best materials for styling. A fusion of titanium, tourmaline and ceramic evenly distributes heat to gently style and protect hair from damaging hot spots. When heated, tourmaline naturally emits clouds of negatively charged ions that eliminate fl yaways and frizzies and leave hair silky smooth and shiny. Hair glides easily over the surface of these ultra smooth plates. As you straighten each strand, you’ll achieve a salon-perfect fi nish. Plates are exceptionally easy to clean, and you’ll discover that this combination of technologies leaves your hair silky smooth. USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30 VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS AND UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM This straightening iron features Conair’s Instant Heat technology. 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. Se- lect the temperature range that’s suitable for your hair type to help you create the look you want. 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 settings to complete the straightening process. 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.
