INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This straightening iron appliance is intended
for household use. This unit is designed to
operate at 120/240 volts AC. Use on Alternat-
ing 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 out-
let, 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.
GETTING STARTED
The straightening iron’s 25 temperature set-
tings and Instant Heat technology combine
to provide styling versatility for all hair tex-
tures. 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 high. You can vary the straightening
iron’s temperature according to your par-
ticular need!
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any
household outlet (120/240V). Press ON/OFF
button. The iron will heat up very quickly.
The power indicator light will remain on when
in operation. To turn off, press ON/OFF
button again (light will go off). Never leave
your straightening iron on and unattended.
However, should you fail to turn the iron 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.
Hair should be clean and completely dried
before using any straightening iron.
2. 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 sec-
tion 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 ad-
ditional sections of hair until you achieve the
hair style you desire. It may be necessary
to repeat process on certain areas, depend-
ing 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.
3. To achieve faster styling results, this
styler features a unique optional Turbo Heat
™
burst. Press the Turbo button to deliver up
to 20°C/68°F more heat in the highest setting
for maximum straightening.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide ceramic-coated surface,
the newest technology.
Hair glides easily over the surface of the plates
as you’re straightening. 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, and the ceramic
surface is easy to clean.
The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to
work with because it makes styling your hair
easier and the results more professional.
The top plate features a flocked exterior that
protects the scalp from the heat of the plates
and promotes smooth, shiny hair.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS, UNIFORM HEAT
RECOVERY SYSTEM & TURBO HEAT™
This straightening iron features Conair’s
Instant Heat technology. This technology
includes 25 variable temperature settings
for every type of hair, from the finest to the
curliest and most resistant. Select the tem-
perature range that’s suitable for your hair
type to help you create the look you want.
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional sa-
lon 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, professional finish.

USER MAINTENANCE
Your straightening iron is virtually mainte-
nance-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 abnor-
mal condition occurs, unplug the unit, allow
it to cool, and return it for repair to an au-
thorized service representative only. No
repairs should be attempted by the con-
sumer.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be
pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap
the cord tightly around the appliance. Dam-
age 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 immediately if damage is
visible or if unit stops or operates intermit-
tently.
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.

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 electrically live even if the switch
is off? If the plug is in, the power is on.
So when you are not using your appli-
ances, keep them unplugged.
ALWAYS UNPLUG
