Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference.

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 cord or the appliance itself is damaged.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
- Keep this appliance away from water! Do not use this product near or over water contained in baths, washbasins, sinks etc. When used in a bathroom, unplug the appliance after use since the proximity of water presents a risk, even when the hairdryer is switched off.

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.
The barrel and the clip of this appliance become hot during use. Prevent contact with the skin.
- Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
Only use the appliance on dry hair.
For safety reasons, the curler automatically switches off after having been on for 1 hour.
Always unplug the appliance after use.
Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance.
Wait until the appliance has cooled down before storing it.
- Keep the barrel clean and free of dust, dirt, styling spray and gel. Never use the appliance in combination with styling mousse, styling spray, gel etc.
Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or repair. Repair by unqualified people could cause an extremely hazardous situation for the user.
The barrel has a ceramic coating. This coating will wear in the course of time. When this happens, the appliance will still function normally.

Preparing for use

Washing your hair

Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine can help to achieve this.

When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.
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 long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.

ENGLISH8

4 Massage your scalp with your fingertips. This stimulates blood circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.
5Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.
6 Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.

Drying your hair

To get professional styling results, it is essential to prepare your hair for curling. Dry you hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a professional, smooth finish.

1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands and then towel-dry the hair.
Use a comb to disentangle hair gently from the roots to the tips.
2 Dry your hair by making brushing movements with the dryer at a small distance from your hair.
3 When you have finished drying, set the hairdryer to the cold setting for a final cold shot. This closes the cuticles and leaves your hair glossier.

Using the appliance

Which temperature to use

Curling irons are powerful styling tools and should always be used with care.

If you use the curler incorrectly or if you use it at the wrong temperature, you could overdry your hair or even burn it.

Always select a temperature that is suitable for hair type.
Always select a low heat setting when you start using the curler for the first time.
For fine or normal hair, select a low to medium temperature (100-140 °C).
For thick or coarse hair, select a medium to high temperature (150-180 °C).

Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since it will be susceptible to damage at high temperatures.
For loose curls or waves use a lower temperature than for tight curls.

Setting the temperature

1 Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2 Press the on/off button. (Fig. 2)

The light turns red to indicate that the appliance is heating up.

The display shows the selected temperature (default 100^ ) and the remaining time of the curling session.

3 You can adjust the set temperature by pressing the + and - buttons. Look at the display to see the temperature you have selected. The light burns red as long as the appliance is heating up to the set temperature. (Fig. 3)
The light turns green as soon as the set temperature has been reached. (Fig. 4)
The bars on the display show the remaining usage time of the appliance. The total usage time is 60 minutes. Every ten minutes one of the six bars will disappear.

Curling your hair

1 Divide your hair into locks and put them aside with clips. (Fig. 5) The thinner the lock of hair, the tighter the curl will be.
2 Start at the lower part of your head and work your way up to the crown.
3 Take the lock you want to curl and comb it first, to get rid of tangles. (Fig. 6)
4 Take the lock of hair, open the clip by pressing the lever and place the lock between the barrel and the clip. (Fig. 7)
5 Release the lever and slide the barrel to the end of the lock. (Fig. 8)

6 Take the cool tip between your fingertips and wind the hair around the barrel until you have almost reached your scalp. Make sure the end of the lock is wound in the required direction. (Fig. 9)
7 Hold for 15 seconds.
8 Unwind the lock of hair until the clip can be opened again by means of the lever. (Fig. 10)

Using the slide-on spiral

Only slide the spiral on or off the barrel when the appliance has cooled down, to avoid burning your fingers.
With the spiral you can create ringlets by winding the lock round the barrel following the spiral profile.

Tip: when putting the appliance down, put it on its stand to avoid burn marks on your furniture. Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.

Cleaning

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2 Let the appliance cool down completely on its stand.
3 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.

Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.

Environment

Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this you will help to preserve the environment. (Fig. 11)
