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 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 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.
DRYING, SYSTEM WITH UNIQUE
DRY N STRAIGHT™ WET • DRY DESIGN
This Wet •Dry Ceramic Straightener features our exclusive vent and channel design, allow- ing for use on dry or damp hair. When used on damp hair, excess water is forced into chan- nels 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.
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1.Plug the straightening iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press on but- ton (the red light will go on to indicate that the straightener is plugged in). The iron will heat up very quickly. The green indicator light will indicate that the unit is heating up. To turn off, press off button (green light will go off. Red light will remain on as a safety precaution to indicate the iron is still plugged in). Never leave your straightening iron on and unattended.
WARNING: The straightening iron's ceram- ic-coated plates will get very hot within a few seconds and should not be placed in contact with the skin after the straighten- ing iron has been turned on.
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, slow- ly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the end of hair. At the end of hair sec- tion, 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 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-coated surface, the newest technology.
This means it’s not only simpler to clean off styling product residue after each use, but you’ll also find that hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straight- ening. 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
asalon-perfect, silky smooth, shining fin- ish. Hair slips right off the plates after it’s straightened.
The ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with because it makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional.
USING INSTANT HEAT,
THE 25 WET• DRY VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This straightening iron features Conair’s Instant Heat technology. Within this Instant Heat technology there are 25 variable
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 medium to high settings to complete the straightening process.
Temperature Setting Guide
TEMP. CONTROL | HAIR TYPE |
| | |
Low/Wet 1-8 | Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten hair |
| |
Medium/Damp 9-14 | Average to thick or treated hair |
| | |
Med/High/Dry 15-20 | Thick or wavy hair |
| | |
High/Dry 21-25 | Hard-to-straighten hair. |
| | |
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon standards of engineering provide you with a Uniform Heat Recovery System that main- tains 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 pro- vides 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.
