Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
Do not place in, or drop into water or other liquid.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use an extension cord to operate appliance.
Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not pull, twist, or wrap line cord around appliance, even during storage.
Never place the appliance on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked.
Never use while sleeping.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or bare skin. This straightener is hot when in use.
Do not place the heated straightener direct ly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
Before plugging in, read the information about dual voltage contained in the instruction section of this manual.
Do not touch the housing of your appliance near the straightening plates as it is hot when in use.

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

DRY N STRAIGHT™ WET • DRY DESIGN

This Wet • Dry Straightener features our exclusive vent and channel design, allowing for use on dry or damp hair. When used on damp hair, 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.

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

Plug the straightening iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press On button (the red light will blink indicating that the straightener is heating up). The iron will heat up very quickly. The green indicator light will light indicating that the unit is set to “wet” setting and will blink until the unit reaches the proper temperature. To turn off, press Off button (red light will go off). Never leave your straightening iron on and unattended. However, if 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″ 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 damp hair.

STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES

The plates of your new straightening iron have an easy-glide ceramic-coated surface, the newest technology. This means that hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straightening and it is simpler to clean off styling product residue after each use. The ceramic-coated surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies. As you smooth each strand, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair slips right off the plates after it’s straightened.
The ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with because it makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional.

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 WET• DRY VARIABLE 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 and is then ready to use. Within this Instant Heat technology there are 25 variable 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.

Temperature Setting Guide

TEMP. CONTROL	HAIR TYPE
Low/Wet 1-8	Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten hair
Medium/Damp 9-14	Average to thick or treated hair
Med/High 15-20	Thick or wavy hair
High/Dry 21-25	Hard-to-straighten hair

And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon standards of engineering provide you with a Uniform Heat Recovery System that maintains the straightening iron at a constant temperature.
There is a constant flow of power to ensure that heat is continuously 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.

Product Overview

USER MAINTENANCE

Your straightening iron is virtually maintenancefree. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning becomes necessary, disconnect the unit from the power source, allow to cool, and wipe exterior with a cloth. If any abnormal condition occurs, unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and return it for repair to an authorized service representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.

CAUTION

NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the appliance, causing it to rupture and short. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or if unit stops or operates intermittently.

STORAGE

When not in use, your appliance is easy to store. Allow appliance to cool, then simply store out of reach of children in a safe, dry location. Do not jerk or strain cord at plug connections.

WARNING:

IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF, YOU’RE WRONG.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous combination. But did you know that an electric appliance is still electrically live even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the power is on. So when you are not using your appliances, keep them unplugged.

ALWAYS UNPLUG SMALL APPLIANCES
