WARNING: Before & During Use

• Before using, always ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance is the same as your local power voltage.
• If the appliance is designed to be connected to a detachable power supply (otherwise known as a charger or adaptor), the appliance must only be used with the power supply it was sold with.
• Do not operate this appliance or disconnect from the power supply with wet hands.
• Never use this appliance at the same time as styling products such as aerosols (spray).
• Be very careful when handling this appliance as parts of it may get extremely hot.
• Do not place the appliance on any heat sensitive surfaces or near flammable materials or objects.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• 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 & other debris.
• Do not cover this appliance with anything when it is switched on or hot.
• To avoid electric shock, do not drop or insert any object into an opening in this appliance.
• This is a high heat appliance. Care must be taken to avoid the hot surfaces of the appliance coming into direct contact with the skin, in particular the eyes, ears, face & neck.
• Do not use extension cord with this appliance.
• 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.
• 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.
• Only use the steam function when this appliance is in use on hair. Do not continuously close & open the straightening plates as excessive pumping may cause hot water to be emitted.

WARNING: Storage & Maintenance
Always unplug the appliance immediately after use & before cleaning or maintenance.

Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance when storing. This causes undue strain on the power cord & protective guard. Over time, this will damage the power cord resulting in an unsafe condition to the user.

• If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when plugged in or switched on.
• Always allow the appliance to cool down before storing away in a location where children cannot reach it.
• Do not store or place this appliance in a location where it can fall or be pulled into a bath or sink.

CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

Ceramic Technology helps keep your hair looking healthy & shiny by maintaining even heat during the styling process. Static is reduced by quickly sealing the hair cuticle layer ensuring minimal frizz making your hair easier to manage.

WORLDWIDE VOLTAGE

This straightener has a worldwide voltage feature that allows the straightener to be used while travelling worldwide. The voltage automatically converts for ease from 100 – 240V~ without the need for a switch.

NOTE:
A suitable plug adaptor will be required – refer to chart below.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

HOW TO USE

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 all packaging & point of sale labels before use.
• 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.

1. Refill the water reservoir with distilled water, following the instructions on page 9.
2. Plug your Steam n’ Straight into a suitable plug adapter (refer to chart) & place on a heat protective, flat level surface.
3. Slide the switch to “I”. At this time the red LED indicator light will turn on.
4. Divide your hair into 4 sections (2 back & 2 front).
5. 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.
6. Repeat this through all sections.
7. During styling you may need to refill the water reservoir – take care as the plates & housing might be hot.
8. 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 hardto- 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.

HOW TO STYLE

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.
