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 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.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
Plug the straightening iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press ON/OFF button. Red light will blink until it reaches desired temperature setting and then becomes soild. To activate Turbo, press button and green light will go on and increase plate tempera- tures up to 15-20 degrees C. To turn off, press ON/OFF button again until red light goes out. Never leave your straightening iron on and unattended. However, should 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" (5 cm) wide and no more than 1/2" (1.25 cm) 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 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.
For faster styling results, we have added a unique optional Turbo Heat on/off feature. Press the Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/36°F more heat in the highest setting, for maximum styling performance.
NOTE: Please refer to the temperature setting guide for heat settings.
STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE FLOATING CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron are designed with a little give, to “float” in your iron. This provides better contact with hair, eliminating gaps for straighter results. The easy-glide ceramic surface is the one of the latest – and best – technological advances in hair appliances. The ceramic even heat distribution produces the ultimate in healthy, shiny, silky looking hair. You’ll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straightening, and that it is
easier to clean styling products residue, etc. off the plates after each use. 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, shiny finish. Hair also glides right through the plates after it’s straightened.
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon stan- dards of engineering provide you with a Uniform Heat Recovery System to maintain the straighten- ing iron at a constant temperature.
A constant surge of power ensures that heat is continuously delivered for optimal styling results, unlike other units that lose heat during use. It provides consistent styling power so that every strand of hair is set with the same level of heat for uniform results and a perfect finish.
Ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with, makes styling your hair easier and provides professional results.
