There is a constant surge of power to en-
sure that heat is continuously delivered for

MAINTENANCE
Your straightening iron is virtually
maintenance-free. No lubrication is need-
ed. Keep all vents and openings clear of
dirt and dust. If cleaning becomes neces-
sary, disconnect the unit from the power
source, allow to cool and wipe exterior
with a cloth. If any abnormal condition oc-
curs, unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and
return it for repair to an authorized service
representative only. No repairs should be
attempted by the consumer.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be
pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never
wrap the cord tightly around the appliance.
Damage will occur at the high fl ex point of
entry into the appliance, causing it to rup-
ture and short. Inspect the cord frequently
for damage. Stop use immediately if dam-
age is visible or if unit stops or operates
intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance is easy to
store. Allow appliance to cool, then store
out of reach of children in a safe, dry lo-
cation. Do not jerk or strain cord at plug
connections.
Everyone knows that electricity and water
are a dangerous combination. But did you
know that an electric appliance is still elec-
trically live even if the switch is off?
If the plug is in, the power is on. So when
you are not using your appliances, keep
them unplugged.
ALWAYS UNPLUG

INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intend-
ed for household use. This unit is designed
to operate at 125/250 volts AC. Use on Al-
ternating 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 adapt-
er plug with correct configuration, prior to
use in outlet.
DRYING SYSTEM WITH
UNIQUE WET•DRY DESIGN
This wet•dry Ceramic Straightener fea-
tures our exclusive vent and channel de-
sign, allowing for use on dry or damp hair.
When used on damp hair, simply press the
WET button (green light will come on) and
excess water is forced into channels where
it can escape as steam. The steam evapo-
rates through the vents in the housing,
white the hair’s natural moisture is sealed
into the cuticle. Once done or before using
your hair straightener on dry hair, press
the WET button again to go back to the
normal dry hair setting.
CAUTION: Steam evaporating through the
vents may be hot. During use, avoid touch-
ing 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 (125/250V). Press
“ON/OFF” button (red light will go on). The
iron will heat up very quickly. The green
indicator light will indicate that the unit is
set to the WET setting. To turn off, press
“OFF” button (red light will go off). Never
leave your straightening iron on and un-
attended.
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 1" wide and
no more than 1/8" 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 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 pro-
cess 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 wet hair.
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 ce-
ramic even heat distribution produces the
ultimate in healthy, shiny, silky hair. And
it’s not only simpler to clean styling prod-
ucts residue, etc. off after each use, you’ll
find that hair glides easily over the surface
of the plates as you’re straightening. 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, shining finish. Hair also slips right
through the plates after it’s straightened.
Our Omega plates not only create the
straightest strands you can get, but
also perfect flipped ends. The specially
designed curved edge of the iron plates al-
lows you to flip hair up or down as you
like it!
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure
to work with, makes styling your hair easi-
er and provides more professional results.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30
WET•DRY 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 in just 30 seconds and is then ready
to use.
Within this Instant Heat technology there
are 30 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 me-
dium to high settings to complete the
straightenng process.
