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 (Fig. 2).

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 qualified 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

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• 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 flammable items.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.

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.

Using the appliance

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 Set the on/off switch to 'on' (Fig. 3).

The power-on light goes on.

3 Let the appliance heat up for at least 60 seconds.
4 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth. (Fig. 4)

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

Note: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair underneath first. Then straighten the top area.

5 Take a section that is not wider than 5cm. Place it between the straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance firmly together.
6 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in a few seconds, from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating (Fig. 5).
7 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the desired look.

Tip: If you want to create flicks straighten your hair and when you get to the ends, turn the straightener in a half-circle inward (or outward). Hold the straightener for a 2 to 3 seconds and release.

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.

Cleaning

Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid, nor rinse it under the tap.

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.
2 Let the appliance cool down on a heat-resistant surface before you store it.
3 You can store the appliance in the hard case sleeve supplied.
4 Put the appliance in a safe and dry place.
