OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

This straightening iron is intended for house- hold use. Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. This unit is designed to be operated at 120 volts AC.

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.

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/Low 285ºF and Ion On settings will become illuminated.

To turn off, press Off button (lights will go off). 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 nano silver tourmaline 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.

Temperature Setting Guide

LED TEMP. CONTROL	HAIR TYPE
Power/Low 285ºF-310ºF	Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten hair
Medium 330ºF	Average-to-thick or treated hair
Med-High 360ºF	Thick or wavy hair
High/Max 395ºF	Hard-to-straighten hair

instant heat technology

The iron’s unique high temperature settings and Instant Heat technology provide styling versatil- ity 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 by scrolling the

temperature settings using the +/– buttons.

For best results, use a light styling product before blow-drying hair. Start with a hair section that is 1½" wide and no more than ½" 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.

As you straighten your hair, you’ll find that it glides more easily over the micro-bonded plate surfaces, and any residue from styling products is easy to remove.

Some experience is necessary when learning to use this straightening iron. After using the iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair.

STYLING WITH THE NANO SILVER

TOURMALINE CERAMIC™ COATED PLATES

Your new straightening iron features nano technology – micro particles that create stronger bonds to plate surfaces, for smoother glide, maximum manageability and more professional results.

NANO SILVER TECHNOLOGY combines the technology of micro particles of ceramic and silver for clean, beautiful, healthy looking results.

The Nano Silver Tourmaline Ceramic™ Technology combines all that is best for your hair. Nano silver’s unique properties leave hair cleaner, shinier and healthier looking. Tourmaline emits infrared heat for gentle styl- ing, and natural ions that reduce frizz, help smooth down flyaways and renew the vitality of your hair. And ceramic generates gentle infrared energy and evenly distributes heat to protect hair from damage. Whatever style you create, this trio of technologies leaves your hair with a salon-perfect, silky smooth finish.

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 5 ULTRA- HIGH HEAT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

This styling iron features a ceramic heater that maintains high temperatures during use for precision styling. It heats up quickly to the temperature you’ve selected for your hair type.

This Instant Heat technology has 5 ultra-high temperature settings. There is a temperature range that’s gentle and safe for every type of hair, from the finest to the curliest and most resistant, 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 and improved heat recovery system that maintains the iron at constant temperatures. There is a constant surge of power to ensure that heat is continuously and quickly 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.

THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud of negative ions that can:

•neutralize the generally positive charge on flyaway, frizzy hair

•eliminate static electricity

•contribute to shine

The new Nano Silver Tourmaline Ceramic™ Technology makes this straightener a pleasure to use – styling has never been easier! Get ready to experience salon results without the salon!
