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.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS AND
UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

Heat technology. It quickly heats up to the tem-
perature you’ve selected for your hair type and is
