Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and

When used in a bathroom, unplug the appliance after use since

the proximity of water presents a risk, even when the appliance is

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

current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not

exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom.

Ask your installer for advice.

◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

ENGLISH6

coated straightening plates.

Philips for examination or repair. Repair by unqualified people

could cause an extremely hazardous situation for the user.

◗The plates have a ceramic coating.This coating will wear in the

normally.

Preparing for use

Washing your hair

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

can help to achieve this.

1When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for

30-60 seconds.

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

between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.

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

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

4Massage your scalp with your fingertips.This stimulates blood

circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.

ENGLISH 7

5Rinse 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 properly with a hairdryer to ensure a

professional, smooth finish.

1After 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.

2Divide the hair into sections by means of clips, starting at the

back.

3Dry each section by pulling a straightening brush down the hair

length while following the brush with the hairdryer, with its

nozzle pointing towards the hair ends.

4When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to

the cold setting for a final cold shot.This closes the cuticles and

leaves your hair glossier.

BTip: Philips Salon Pro hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a

stronger airflow than regular dryers.Thanks to this combination, they dry

just as quickly as regular hairdryers but in a gentler way.

Using the appliance

Straightening your hair

Straighteners are powerful styling tools and should 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 or if you use it at the

wrong temperature setting, you could overheat your hair or even

burn it.Always follow the steps below:

1Insert the plug into the wall socket.

ENGLISH8

2Set the the on/off switch to I.

The power-on light goes on.

The plates heat up rapidly and will be ready for use within 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.

3Select the preferred temperature setting by turning the

adjustment knob to the preferred position (1 to 25) (fig. 2).

4Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth

(fig. 3).

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

in one section.

BTip: it is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair

underneath first.Then straighten the top area.

5Take a section that is approximately 3-4 cm wide. Place it

between the straightening plates and press the handles of the

appliance firmly together.

6Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in a few

seconds, from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent

overheating (fig. 4).

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

desired look.

8Allow your hair to cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it

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

created.

Cleaning

1Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.

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

surface.

3Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.

ENGLISH 9

Storage

1Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.

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

3Use the easy-lock system to lock the straightening plates

together before storing the appliance.

Environment

waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection

environment (fig. 5).
