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 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, simply press the WET button (green light will come on) and 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. Once done or before using your straightener on dry hair, press the WET button again to go back to the normal dry hair setting.

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/OFF button (the red light will go on). The iron will heat up very quickly. The green indicator light will indicate that the unit is set to the WET setting. To turn off, press OFF button (red light will go off). Never leave your straighten- ing 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 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, 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 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 surface, the latest in technological advances. The unique wet dry venting system combined with high ceramic heat produces the ultimate in healthy, shiny, silky hair. And it’s not only simpler to clean styling products residue, etc. off after each use, you’ll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straightening. The ceramic surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. As you smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair also slips right through the plates after it’s straightened.

The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with, makes styling your hair easier and provides more professional results.

Our omega plates not only create the straight- est strands you can get, but also perfect flipped ends. The specially designed curved edge of the iron plates allows you to flip hair up or down as you like it!

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30

WET DRY 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 quickly and is then ready to use.

Within this Instant Heat technology there are 30 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.
