CONDITIONING STEAM MIST
Conditioning steam mist from the water reservoir infuses hair with moisture, for smoother, softer & shinier results. Ideal for normal to thick hair types.
To use the straightener with steam:
- Remove the water reservoir located at the top of the straightener by pressing the RELEASE switch with your thumb & removing the water reservoir with the other hand.
- Lift the black rubber plug & fill with distilled water (We recommend using distilled water as this will help protect the appliance best & lessen the chance of clogging the inside mechanism that allows the steam to flow through). The straightener water reservoir holds 3.5ml of water.
- Replace the black rubber plug & put the reservoir back onto the top of straightener until it clicks into place. Check that the reservoir is properly positioned & secured in place.
- The Steam n’ Straight is now ready to use.
ALWAYS remove excess water from the straightener water reservoir after use,
since leaving unused water in the reservoirs can cause clogging over time.
NB – 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 the skin (e.g. scalp, neck ears, face,
etc.) as the plates can, particularly if held too close, cause discomfort or
even burn.
While emitting steam, this appliance may cause burns if it is used too close
to the skin, scalp or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce the risk
of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, test this appliance
before each use by holding it away from the body & closing the plates to
operate the steam function.
Keep appliance out of reach from young children particularly during use & cool
down. Never leave this appliance in a place where young children could access
it.
BEFORE USING

- Remove plastic cover from plug before use (used to protect it from damage during transportation).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wash, condition & dry your hair as normal.
Ensure your hair is combed through & tangle-free.
- Refill the water reservoir with distilled water, following the instructions on page 9.
- Plug your Steam n’ Straight into a suitable plug adapter (refer to chart) & place on a heat protective, flat level surface.
- Slide the switch to “I”. At this time the red LED indicator light will turn on.
- Divide your hair into 4 sections (2 back & 2 front).
- Starting with the back sections at the nape of the neck, take a horizontal section no wider than the plate of the straightener & clamp the plates over the section then glide down slowly & evenly.
- Repeat this through all sections.
- During styling you may need to refill the water reservoir – take care as the plates & housing might be hot.
- After use, turn the Steam n’ Straight off by sliding the switch to “0”.
NB – this appliance is perfect for easy touch-ups on the go.
Allow your Steam n’ Straight to cool before storing.
ALWAYS remove excess water from the straightener water reservoir after use,
since leaving unused water in the reservoirs can cause clogging over time.
NB – NEVER add any other liquid aside from distilled water to the water
reservoirs.
REMOVABLE DETANGLING COMB
The Steam n’ Straight includes a detangling comb that helps to provide more uniform results & complete 3D straightening, as it helps to sections & detangles as you style. The comb is useful for helping to straighten hard to- style, coarse & afro-textured hair types as it helps to create more tension as you straighten. The comb is easily removable – simply slide it along bottom plate to the left to fully remove.
STRAIGHT
Start with clean & dry, thoroughly combed through hair. Apply a heat spray
for extra protection & longer lasting results. Straighten your hair in
sections ensuring you go over each section once to get that gorgeous, silky
finish. If you are needing to go over the section more than once, creating
thinner sections will help create straight hair in the first glide.
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 hair spray, for extra hold if
needed.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Your straightener is designed for household use & is virtually maintenance
free. If cleaning becomes necessary, unplug the straightener from the power
outlet & ensure the straightener is cool before wiping with a cloth. If any
abnormal conditions occur contact Conair Customer Service.
If any the steam vents become dirty, using a wet cotton tip, wipe each of the
steam vents & then wipe with a cloth.
