IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety pre-cautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

  • Always unplug appliance immediately after using.
  • Do not use while bathing or in the 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 liquids.
  • If an appliance falls into water, unplug it immediately. Do not reach into the water.
• WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
  • This appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
  • Do not pull, twist, or wrap line cord around appliance.
  • This appliance should not be used by, on or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
  • Use this appliance only for its intended use, as described in this manual. Do not use attach-ments not recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been dropped or dam-aged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.
  • Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
  • 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.
  • Unit is hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.
  • Do not place the heated unit directly on any surface while it is hot or plugged in.
  • Never block the air openings of the appliance or place on a soft surface such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint and other debris.
  • Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
  • Do not touch hot surfaces of the appliance. Use handles or knobs.
  • Do not attempt to touch the housing of your appliance near the straightening plates, as it is hot when in use.
  • Do not use with voltage converter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This flat iron 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.

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR

Hair should be clean and completely dried before using the flat iron. Plug the iron into an electrical outlet. Turn on unit. Select desired temperature setting; the indicator light will blink for each temperature set-ting until selected temperature is reached. Indicator light will then become steady.
To turn off, press Off button (lights will go off). Never leave your flat iron on and unattended. However, should you fail to turn the unit off it will shut itself off automatically within 60 minutes.
WARNING: The flat iron’s tourmaline ceramic-coated plates will get very hot within a few seconds and should not come into contact with the skin after the flat iron has been turned on.

INSTANT HEAT TECHNOLOGY

The iron’s 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 according to your particular need by selecting the desired temperature setting.
For best results, use a light styling product before blow-drying hair. Start with a hair section that is 1 ½ inches wide and no more than ½ inch thick. 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. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the end. At the end, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair 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 learn-ing to use this flat iron. After using the iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair.

STYLING WITH THE TOURMALINE

CERAMIC-COATED PLATES

Your new flat iron features tourmaline ceramic plates for smoother glide, maximum manage-ability and more professional results.
The tourmaline ceramic technology combines all that is best for your hair. The unique proper-ties leave hair shinier and healthier looking. Tourmaline emits infrared heat for gentle styling, and natural ions that reduce frizz, help smooth down flyaways and renew the vitality of your hair. And ceramic generates gentle infrared energy and evenly distributes heat to protect hair from damage. Tourmaline ceramic pro-motes healthy, shiny hair while fighting frizz.
A bonus .25 fl. oz. bottle of One ’N Only® Argan Oil is included. Argan oil protects, revitalizes and nourishes hair. This non-greasy alcohol-free formula is instantly absorbed, cre-ating brilliant shine and conditioned, silky hair.
One ‘n Only® Argan Oil can be purchased online at www.stylesource.com.

STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE FLOATING TOURMALINE CERAMIC COATED PLATE

Your new straightening iron has a plate designed with a little give, to “float.” This provides better contact with hair, eliminating gaps, for straighter results. The easy-glide tourmaline ceramic surface is one of the latest and best technological advances in hair appliances. The ceramic even heat distri-bution 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, etc., off the plates after each use. 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, shiny finish. Hair also glides right through the plates after it’s straightened.

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30 ULTRA-HIGH HEAT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

This styling iron features a powerful ceramic heater that maintains high temperatures during use for precision styling. It heats up quickly to the temperature you’ve selected for your hair type.
This Instant Heat technology has 30 ultra-high temperature settings. There is a temperature range that’s gentle and safe for every type of hair, from the finest to the curliest and most resistant, and helps you create the look you want. And that’s not all. 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 tourmaline ceramic-coated flat iron! Get ready to experience salon results without the salon!

USER MAINTENANCE

Your flat iron is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and open-ings 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 circuit. 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 iron 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. Do not wrap the line cord around the appliance. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the appliance.

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
