SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household 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.

NOTE: Do not use this styling appliance on hair extensions.

INSTANT HEAT TECHNOLOGY
The iron’s 5 unique high temperature settings and Instant Heat technology provide styling versatility 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 setting according to your particular need.

Temperature Setting Guide

This styling iron features a powerful heater that maintains high temperatures during use for precision styling. It heats up quickly to the temperature you’ve selected for your hair type.
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.
Styling has never been easier with the new Hydrofusion Steam Straightener with titanium plates! Get ready to experience salon results without the salon!

HYDROFUSION TECHNOLOGY
Discover the power of steam technology for long-lasting straight hair with deep shine. With every pass, a conditioning steam mist infuses moisture and hydrates each hair cuticle for a silky-smooth, healthy-looking finish.
Hydrofusion transforms all hair types and textures and conditions for less damage
and long-lasting results.
You can choose to style with the steam function switched on or off, and you can choose to refill the straightener reservoir directly or use with the base station for effortless gravity refill.
NOTE: When you first turn the straightener on, the steam function will be off.

STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE, FLOATING TITANIUM-COATED PLATES
Your new straightening iron has plates designed with a little give to “float.” This provides better contact with hair, eliminating gaps, for straighter results. The easy-glide titanium surface is one of the latest – and best – technological advances in hair appliances. The titanium, even-heat distribution produces the ultimate in silky, shiny, healthy-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 product residue off the plates after each use. The titanium surface also helps smooth down flyaways. As you smooth your hair, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shiny finish.

HOW TO FILL AND USE STRAIGHTENER

To use the straightener without steam:
Simply press the ON/OFF button ( ) to turn your straightener on.

To use the straightener with steam and the base station gravity refill:

1. Before filling with water, be sure the black rubber plug on the bottom of the base station is tightly closed.

2. Lift the black rubber plug on the top of the base station water reservoir and fill reservoir with distilled water.
   NOTE: We recommend using distilled water as this will help protect the appliance best and lessen the chance of clogging the mechanism that allows the steam to flow. The base station water reservoir holds 100 ml of water and will provide around 60 minutes of steam time with a full tank. Replace the black rubber plug and ensure it’s tightly closed.

3. Place the base station onto a flat, level heat-resistant surface and push down to secure the suction feet onto the surface. This will prevent the base station from moving around.

4. Ensure that the water reservoir on the bottom of the straightener is empty of water and secured in place, then place the straightener onto the base station by aligning the 2 pins and pushing down until the straightener clicks into place.
   NOTE: there’s no need to close or lock the plates – you can place the straightener onto the base station with the plates in the open position. However, if the straightener is switched on, we recommend locking the plates before placing the straightener onto the base station to avoid the hot surfaces of the straightener coming into contact with skin.

5. As soon as the straightener is correctly in place, the water will automatically refill within 10-15 seconds. NOTE: The straightener doesn’t need to be switched on to refill with water, but, as mentioned above, if the if the straightener is switched on, we recommend locking the plates before placing the straightener onto the base station.

6. Remove the straightener from the base station and press the ON/OFF button ( ) to turn your straightener on. The default 285°F LED indicator will illuminate and start to flash.
   At this point, the straightener will start heating up.

7. Press the Steam button ( ) once to switch on the steam function. The steam LED indicator will illuminate. When using the steam function for the first time, the motor will run continuously for 2 seconds after turning the unit on when the plates are closed.

8. When using the steam function and the plates are closed, the straightener will make a clicking sound. This is completely normal and part of standard operation, as the pump is pushing the water through the inside mechanism.

9. To refill the straightener water reservoir, you can simply place the straightener onto
   the base station between brushing and sectioning your hair, being careful not to touch the hot surfaces of the straightener. The refill is effortless!
   TIP: To avoid overfilling the straightener, always ensure that the straightener water reservoir is nearly or completely empty of water before placing onto the base station for refilling.
   IMPORTANT: The base station should only be used for refilling the straightener water reservoir. Please do not rest the straightener on the base station when not in use.

10. Once you’ve finished styling your hair, be sure to empty all of the water reservoirs:

    • a) base station water reservoir – empty water from the top section of the base station by lifting the black rubber plug on the top and pouring the remaining water into a sink.
    • b) base station bottom tank – empty water from the bottom section of the base station by lifting the black rubber plug on the bottom and pouring the remaining water into a sink.
    • c) straightener water reservoir – remove the water reservoir from the bottom of the straightener, lift the black rubber plug, and pour remaining water into a sink.

To use the straightener with steam but without the base station:

1. Remove the water reservoir located at the bottom of the straightener by pushing the release switch down with one hand while removing the water reservoir with the other hand.
2. Lift the black rubber plug and using the pipette, fill with distilled water. NOTE: We recommend using distilled water as this will help protect the appliance best and lessen the chance of clogging the mechanism that allows the steam to flow. The straightener water reservoir holds 10 ml of water and will provide around 6 minutes of steam time with a full tank. Replace the black rubber plug and put the reservoir back on the straightener until it clicks into place. Check that the reservoir is properly positioned and secured in place.
3. Press the ON/OFF button ( ) to turn your straightener on. The default 285°F LED indicator will illuminate and start to flash. At this point,the straightener will start heating up.
4. Press the Steam button ( ) once to switch on the steam function. The steam LED indicator will illuminate.
5. If the plates are closed when using the steam function, the straightener will make a clicking sound. This is completely normal and part of standard operation, as the pump is pushing the water through the inside mechanism.

ALWAYS remove excess water from the base station water reservoir…the base station bottom tank…and the straightener water reservoir after use, since leaving unused water in the reservoirs can cause clogging over time.

NOTE: NEVER add any other liquid aside from distilled water to the water reservoirs.

CAUTION: This is a high-heat appliance.
Care must be taken to avoid the hot surfaces of the appliance coming into contact with skin (e.g., scalp, neck, ears, face, etc.), as the plates can, particularly if held too close, cause discomfort or even burn.

GETTING STARTED

1. Fill either the base station water reservoir or the straightener water reservoir with distilled water, following the instructions on the previous pages.
2. Place the straightener onto a flat, level heat-resistant surface.
3. Plug your straightener into a 120V AC power outlet.
4. Press the ON/OFF button ( ) to turn your straightener on. The default 285°F LED indicator will illuminate and start to flash. At this point, the straightener will start heating up.
5. Press the Temperature button (+/-) to adjust to your desired temperature. The temperature LED indicator will illuminate and start to flash. Once the temperature you have selected has been reached, it will then stop flashing on the display.
6. If using the steam function, press the Steam button ( ) once to switch on the steam function. The steam LED indicator will illuminate.
7. If the plates are closed when using the steam function, the straightener will make a clicking sound. This is completely normal and part of standard operation, as the pump is pushing the water through the inside mechanism.
   WARNING: The flat iron’s titanium plates will get very hot within a few seconds and should not come into contact with skin after the flat iron has been turned on.

TO STYLE HAIR
Hair should be clean and completely dry before using the flat iron. For best results, use a light styling product before blow-drying hair.

1. Start with a hair section that is 1½ inches wide and no more than ½ inch thick.
2. Open the iron and place the hair section between the two hot plates close to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together.
3. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the ends. At the ends, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair to slide out.
4. Repeat the process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hairstyle you desire. It may be necessary to repeat the process on certain areas, depending on the texture of your hair.
   Some experience is necessary when learning to use this flat iron. After using the iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair.

VOLUME
Create volume by making a curved movement with your wrist as you glide the straightener down the hair section.

EXPERT TIP
Set your style with a spritz of light-hold hairspray for extra hold if needed.

REMOVABLE DETANGLING COMB
The flat iron includes a detangling comb that helps to provide more uniform results and helps to section and detangle as you style. The comb is useful for helping to straighten hard-to-style, coarse, and textured hair types, as it creates more
tension as you straighten.
The comb is easily removable – simply slide it along the plate to the left to fully remove.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
This straightener has an automatic shutoff feature for added safety. If the straightener is switched on for more than 30 minutes continuously, it will automatically switch off.
If you wish to continue using the straightener after this time, simply press the ON/OFF button ( ) again to turn the power on.
