Introduction

The new Philips SalonStraight Active Ion provides super-shiny

straightening results.The ioniser generates streams of negative ions that

surround and condition your hair. Ions reduce frizz and static electricity

and leave your hair looking soft, smooth and shiny.

for future reference.

Danger

Keep the appliance away from water. Do not use it near or over

water contained in baths, washbasins, sinks etc.When you use the

appliance in a bathroom, unplug it after use.The proximity of water

presents a risk, even when the appliance is switched off.

Warning

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the

local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.

Check the condition of the mains cord regularly. Do not use the

appliance if the plug, the mains cord or the appliance itself is damaged.

If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a

service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualied persons in

order to avoid a hazard.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

ENGLISH

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance.

Keep the appliance away from non-heat-resistant surfaces and never

cover the appliance with anything (e.g. a towel or clothing) when it is

hot.

Keep the appliance away from ammable items.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.

Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips

for examination or repair. Repair by unqualied people could cause

an extremely hazardous situation for the user.

Caution

For additional protection, we advise you to install a residual current

device (RCD) in the electrical circuit that supplies the bathroom.This

RCD must have a rated residual operating current not higher than

30mA.Ask your installer for advice.

The straightening plates and the plastic parts near the plates reach a

high temperature quickly. Prevent the hot surfaces of the appliance

from coming into contact with your skin.

You may notice a characteristic odour when using this straightener.

This is caused by the ions that are generated and it is not harmful to

the human body.

Do not probe the ion outlet openings with metal objects.

Do not use the appliance on articial hair.

Only use the appliance on dry or damp hair.

Do not leave the plates in your hair for more than a few seconds at a

time as this may cause damage to your hair.

Always unplug the appliance after use.

Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance.

Wait until the appliance has cooled down before you store it.

Keep the straightening plates clean and free of dust, dirt and styling

products such as mousse, spray and gel. Dust, dirt and styling

products may cause damage to the ceramic-coated straightening

plates.

ENGLISH 7

The ceramic coating on the plates slowly wears away over time.This

does not affect the performance of the appliance.

If you use the appliance on colour-treated hair, the straightening plates

may stain.

The maximum temperature occurs just after heating up.The actual

temperature during use may be lower.

instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on

scientic evidence available today.

Preparing for use

Washing your hair

Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine can

help to achieve this.

1 Wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.

2 Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it between

your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.

3 Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or

pull up long hair onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.

4 Massageyourscalpwithyourngertips.Thisstimulatesblood

circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.

5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.

Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.

Drying your hair

To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for

straightening. Dry your hair with a hairdryer until it is dry or almost dry

to ensure a professional, smooth nish.

ENGLISH8

1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your

hands and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle the

hair gently from the roots to the tips.

2 Divide the hair into sections using clips. Start at the back.

3 Todryeachsection,pullastraighteningbrushdownthehairlength.

Follow the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing

towards the hair ends.

4 Whenyouhavenisheddryingeachsection,setthehairdryerto

thecoolsettingforanalcoolshot.Thisclosesthecuticlesand

adds shine to the hair.

Tip: Philips SalonPro hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a

stronger airow than regular dryers. Thanks to this combination, they dry just

as quickly as regular hairdryers but in a gentler way

Straightening your hair

Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with

care.

As with all straighteners that reach salon-high temperatures, do not use

the appliance frequently to avoid damage to the hair. If you use the

straightener incorrectly, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.

Always follow the steps below:

1 Put the plug in the wall socket.

2 Push the on/off slide to ‘ON’.

Thepower-onlightgoeson(Fig.2).

Thestraighteningplatesheatuprapidlyandarereadyforuse

within 90 seconds.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in. Never put

the appliance on a surface that is not heat-resistant when it is heating

up and when it is hot.

ENGLISH 9

Tip: If you lock the plates with the closing lock, the straightener heats up

more quickly.

3 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and

smooth.(Fig.3)

4 Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much

hair in one section.

Tip: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair

underneath rst, followed by the top area.

5 Takeasectionthatisnotwiderthan4cm.Placeitbetweenthe

straighteningplatesandpressthehandlesoftheappliancermly

together.

6 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in 5 seconds,

from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent

overheating(Fig.4).

7 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the

desired look.

8 Let your hair cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it has

cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just created.

9 Push the on/off slide to ‘OFF’ and unplug the appliance after use.

Put the appliance on a heat-resistant surface.

Cleaning

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.

2 Let the appliance cool down completely on a heat-resistant surface.

3 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.

Storage

Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
