INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This multiplate straightening iron is
intended for household use. This unit is
designed to operate at 125/250 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.
GETTING STARTED
The straightening iron’s 25 temperature
settings and Instant Heat 60 second heat-up
technology combine to provide styling
versatility for all hair textures. 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 high. Y
ou can vary the iron’s
temperatur
e accor
ding to your particular need!
STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1. Plug the straightening iron cord into
any household outlet (120/240V). Press
“ON” button. The iron will heat up very
quickly. The indicator light will stop blinking
and remain on when the iron is ready to
use. To turn off, press “OFF” button (light
will go off). Never leave your straightening
iron on and unattended.
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 iron has
been turned on.
Hair should be clean and completely dried
before using any straightening iron.
Start with a hair section that is 1" wide and
no more than 1/8" thick. Open the straight-
ener 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. For
best results, use a light styling lotion
before blow-drying 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.
Some experience is necessary when learning
to use this straightening iron. After using iron
several times, you will learn the ideal
temperature and method to straighten and
style your hair easily.
STYLING WITH THE NEW SATIN FINISH
EASY-GLIDE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new multiplate straightener
have a Satin Finish Easy-Glide ceramic-coat-
ed surface, the newest technology in profes-
sional hair care.
This means it’s not only simpler to clean
off styling product residue after each use,
but you’ll also find that hair glides easily
over the surface of the plates as you’re
straightening.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 new ceramic technology is a pleasure
to work with because it makes styling your
hair easier and the results more
professional.
The top plate features a flocked exterior
that protects the scalp from the heat of the
plates and promotes smooth, shiny hair.
CHANGING PLATES
1. Conair recommends the straightener be
unplugged and allowed to cool before
changing plates
2. Carefully remove the plates by holding
the ribbed sections and pulling slightly.
3. Take the new plate to be attached and
guide it onto the unit by holding the ribbed
section and pressing down to secure.
4. Unplug the straightener and allow the
plates to cool prior to storing.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 25 VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This multiplate straightening iron features
Conair’s Instant Heat technology. It heats up
to the temperature you’ve selected for your
hair type in just 60 seconds and is then
ready to use.
This Instant Heat technology includes 25
variable temperature 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 straightening iron at a
constant temperature.
There is a constant surge 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 for a uniformly perfect finish.
