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 Straightener features our exclu- sive vent and channel design, allowing for use on dry or damp hair. When used on damp hair, excess water is forced into channels 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 blink indicating that the straightener is heating up). The iron will heat up very quickly. The green indicator light will light indicating that the unit is set to “wet” setting and will blink until the unit reaches the proper temperature. To turn off, press Off button (red light will go off). Never leave your straightening iron on and unattended. However, if you fail to turn the unit off, it will shut itself off automatically within 60 minutes.
WARNING: The straightening iron's
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 section toward the end of hair. At the end of hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair sec- tion 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 damp hair.

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 WET•DRY VARIABLE 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 and is then ready to use.
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 set- tings to complete the straightening process.

And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon 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 finish.
