INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This curling appliance is intended for
household use. Use on Alternating Current
(50/60 hertz) only. This appliance has a polar-
ized 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 curling iron has dual voltage. It will auto-
matically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an
adapter plug with correct configuration, prior
to use in outlet.
GETTING STARTED
The iron’s 25 temperature settings and Instant
Heat technology provide styling versatility for
all hair types. If you have fine hair, a low tem-
perature will provide the best results. If you
have thick, wavy or hard-to-curl hair, keep the
heat setting on high. You can vary the iron’s
temperature according to your particular need!
SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut
that’s well maintained. Always treat hair right
with superior quality shampoos, conditioners,
and finishing products.
CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the curling iron cord into a standard
household electrical outlet (120/240V).
Never leave your curling
iron on and unattended.
However, should you fail
to turn the iron off, it will
shut itself off automati-
cally in approximately 60
minutes.
2. To create spiral curls
and ringlets, work with 1" sections of hair,
one at a time. Hold iron horizontally, press the
automatic curl release button, and place the
ends of your hair under the shortened iron
spoon. Release the automatic curl release to
clamp hair in place. Wrap hair in between spiral
grooves on barrel, twisting upward toward the
hair root. Leave hair wrapped for approximately
5-7 seconds. Unwind hair from barrel; open the
automatic curl release to unclamp hair. Repeat
procedure, styling small sections at a time,
layering the spiral curls as you go, until all hair
is curled.
3. To achieve faster styling, these units
feature a unique optional Turbo Heat™
burst. Press the Turbo button to deliver up to
20°C/68°F more heat in the highest setting
for maximum styling performance.
STYLING WITH THE EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED BARREL
The barrel of your new curling iron has a Easy-
Glide
ceramic-coated surface, the newest
technology.
This means you’ll find that hair glides easily
over the surface of the barrel as you’re curl-
ing it up and the ceramic-coated surface also
helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies.
As you wind each strand around the barrel, it
evenly distributes heat so that the style you cre-
ate has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining
finish. Hair also slips right off the barrel after
it’s curled. The new ceramic technology is a
pleasure to work with and makes styling your
hair easier and the results more professional.
It’s simpler to clean off styling product residue,
etc., after each use.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This styling iron features Conair’s Instant Heat
technology which includes 25 variable tem-
perature settings for every type of hair, from
the finest to the curliest and most resistant.
Select the temperature range that’s suitable
for your hair type to help you create the look
you want.
And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon
standards of engineering provide you with a
Uniform Heat Recovery System that maintains
the iron at constant temperatures.
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 styl-
ing 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.
