INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING 

INSTRUCTIONS

This curling appliance is intended for 

household use. 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 curling iron will automatically adjust to 

the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with 

correct configuration prior to use in outlet.

GETTING STARTED

The iron’s 30 temperature settings and 

Instant Heat 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-curl hair, keep the heat 

setting high. You can vary the iron’s tem-

perature according to your particular need!

CURLING BASICS

1. Plug the curling 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 curling iron on and 

unattended.  However, should you fail to 

turn the curling iron off, it will shut itself off 

automatically within 60 minutes.

2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each 

section before winding. Pressing the auto-

matic curl release, place curling iron midway 

up the hair section, then spread hair evenly 

between spoon and barrel. Release automat-

ic curl release to hold hair in place. Gently 

slide curling iron down to hair ends. To avoid 

crimped ends, make sure they are securely 

wound under the spoon in the direction of 

the desired curl.

Remember, always place the spoon above 

the hair strand when making a curl you 

want rolled under; place the spoon under 

the hair strand when making a flip style.

3. Wind the hair up as far as you want it 

curled, being careful not to let the iron 

touch the scalp. Hold in place for 8-12 

seconds, depending on the texture and 

length of your hair. For tighter, bouncier 

curls, roll less hair. For looser, free-flowing 

curls, roll more hair. 

4. To remove curling iron, unwind the hair 

and press the automatic curl release. To 

set the curl, do not comb or brush hair 

until it cools. 

STYLING WITH CERAMIC

TECHNOLOGY CURLING IRONS

The barrel of your new curling iron has an 

Easy-Glide

™

 ceramic-coated surface, the 

newest technology. 

This ceramic-coated surface helps to 

smooth down flyaways and frizzies. 

As you wind each strand around the bar-

rel, it evenly distributes heat so that the 

style you create has a salon-perfect, 

silky smooth, shining finish. Hair glides 

easily over the surface of the barrel. Any 

residue from styling products that build-

up on the ceramic-coated barrel can be 

easily cleaned.

The new ceramic technology is a pleasure 

to work with and makes styling your hair 

easier and the results more professional.

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30 VARIABLE 

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS & UNIFORM 

HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM 

This styling iron features Conair’s Instant 

Heat technology.

Within this Instant Heat technology there are 

30 variable temperature settings. Every type of 

hair, from the finest to the curliest and most 

resistant, has a temperature range that’s 

gentle and safe for it 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 Heat Recovery System that 

maintains the iron at constant temperatures. 

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 and comes out the same way 

for a perfect finish.
