INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron is intended for house-
hold use. Use on Alternating Current (50/60
hertz) only. This unit is designed to be oper-
ated at 120/240 volts A/C.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other.) As a safety feature,
this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into 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.
TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR
Hair should be clean and completely dried
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 ceramic
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 iron’s 25 temperature settings and
Instant Heat technology provide styling
versatility for all hair types. If you have fine
hair, a low temperature will provide the best
results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to-
straighten hair, keep the heat setting on high.
You can vary the iron’s temperature according
to your particular need!
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. Do not allow
the plates to touch the scalp. Trap hair
between the plates by firmly squeezing the
handles together. While maintaining the ten-
sion, slowly pull the unit down along the
shiny, silky hair. The tourmaline ceramic sur-
face also helps smooth down flyaways and
frizzies. As you smooth your hair, heat is
evenly distributed so that the style you create
has a salon-perfect, silky smooth finish. Hair
also slips right through the plates after it’s
straightened.
The new tourmaline ceramic technology is a
pleasure to work with, makes styling your hair
easier and provides more professional results.
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.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This styling 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 ready to use.
This Instant Heat technology has 25 variable
temperature settings. Every type of hair, from
the finest to the curliest and most resistant,
has a temperature range that’s gentle and safe
for it and helps you create the look you want.
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon
standards of engineering provide you with a
Uniform Heat Recovery System that maintains
the iron at constant temperatures. There is a
constant surge of power to ensure that heat
is continuously delivered for optimal styling
results, unlike other units which lose heat dur-
ing 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.

hair section toward the end of hair. For best
results, use a light styling product 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.

a tourmaline-infused easy-glide ceramic sur-
face, the latest in technological advances. The
crushed tourmaline jewels provide ionic and
infrared benefits and combined with ceramic
technology produce the ultimate in healthy,

WARNING:
IF YOU THINK THE
POWER IS OFF WHEN
THE SWITCH IS OFF
YOU’RE WRONG.
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
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

USER
MAINTENANCE
Your straightening iron is virtually maintenance-
free. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents
and openings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning
becomes necessary, disconnect the unit from
the power source, allow to cool and wipe exterior
with a cloth. If any abnormal condition occurs,
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 flex point of entry into the appliance,
causing it to rupture and short circuit. Inspect
the cord frequently for damage. Stop use imme-
diately if damage 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 simply store out of
reach of children in a safe, dry location. Do not
jerk or strain cord at plug connections. Do not
wrap the line cord around the appliance. Allow
the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the
point of entry into the appliance.
