Frequently Asked Questions - CD81WCS Conair

How do I use the curling iron?

Plug in the iron, select your desired temperature, and section dry hair. Place the iron midway up the hair section, press the automatic curl release, and spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. Release to hold hair, slide to ends, and wind up. Hold for 8-12 seconds, then unwind and press the curl release. Allow curls to cool before brushing.

What temperature should I use for fine or thin hair?

For delicate, thin hair, use low temperature settings 1-8. This prevents heat damage while still creating curls.

What does the Turbo Heat Burst do?

The Turbo Heat Burst provides an extra burst of heat for hard-to-curl spots or faster styling. Press the Turbo button to activate.

Can I use this curling iron on wet hair?

No, always use on dry hair. Using on wet hair can cause damage and increase the risk of electric shock.

How do I clean the curling iron?

Unplug the iron and let it cool completely. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Keep vents free of lint and hair.

Does the curling iron have automatic shut-off?

Yes, the iron automatically shuts off after 60 minutes of inactivity for safety.

Can I use the curling iron with a voltage converter?

The iron has dual voltage (120/240V) and automatically adjusts. You may need a plug adapter for different outlet shapes, but no converter is necessary.

How do I release the curl without tugging?

Press the automatic curl release button on the handle. This opens the spoon and barrel, allowing the hair to unwind smoothly.

What should I do if the iron stops working or works intermittently?

Unplug immediately and inspect the cord for damage. If damaged, stop use and return to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to repair yourself.

SAVE THESE 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 has dual voltage. It will automatically 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 temperature 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 well 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 unit off, it will shut itself off automatically within 60 minutes.

2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each section before winding. Pressing the automatic curl release, place curling iron midway up the hair section, then spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. Release automatic 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.

1. 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.

2. 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

3. To achieve faster styling results these units feature a unique, optional Turbo Heat ^TM Burst. Press the Turbo button to deliver more heat for maximum styling performance.

USING INSTANT HEAT AND THE 25 VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS AND HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

This styling iron features Conair's Instant Heat technology. It heats up to the temperature you've selected for your hair type.

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.

Temperature Setting Guide

Temp. Control Hair Type

Low 1-8 Delicate, thin, easy-to-curl hair

Medium 9-14 Average to thick or treated hair

Med-High 15-20 Thick or wavy hair

And that's not all. Conair's professional salon standards of engineering provide you with a Uniform Heat Recovery System that maintains the curling iron at constant temperatures.

This recovery system 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.

USER MAINTENANCE

Your curling iron is virtually maintenance-free. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust.

CAUTION

NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled or twisted. Never wrap the cord around the curling iron. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the curling iron, 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 appliance should be disconnected, allowed to cool, and stored in a safe, dry location out of reach of children. 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.
