USING INSTANT HEAT AND THE 3 ULTRA-HIGH
HEAT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
This Instant Heat styler has 3 ultra-high heat tem-
perature settings. There is a temperature range that's
gentle and safe for every type of hair, from the finest
to the most resistant, and helps you create the look
you want.
UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
Conair's professional salon standards of engineer-
ing provide you with a uniform and improved heat
recovery system that maintains the iron at constant
temperatures. There is a constant surge of power
to ensure that heat is continuously and quickly
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.
Never leave your styling iron on and unat-
tended. However, should you fail to turn the
iron off, it will shut itself off automatically
within 60 minutes.
