How to use the cool shot button on this model?

The HP4963 model does not have a cool shot button. This function is reserved for the HP4962 model. To set your hairstyle, use the diffuser at low temperature.

What to do if the hair dryer stops suddenly?

This is probably an overheat protection. Unplug the device, let it cool down for a few minutes, then check that the air inlet and outlet grilles are not blocked by hair or dust.

Can I use this device in a bathroom?

Yes, but with caution. Do not use it near a bathtub or a filled sink. Always unplug the device after use, even when switched off, because water poses a risk even when off.

Remove the diffuser from the device. Clean it with a damp cloth or rinse it with water. Make sure it is completely dry before putting it back.

What is the power of the Philips SalonDry Compact HP4963?

The power is not explicitly stated in the manual, but for a compact hair dryer in this range, it is generally between 1600 and 1800 W.

Is the power cord detachable?

No, the cord is fixed. Do not wrap it around the device for storage, as this could damage it. Use the storage loop provided for this purpose.

How to add volume to the roots with the diffuser?

Insert the diffuser tips into your hair until they touch the scalp, then make circular movements to distribute the hot air and create volume.

What to do if the plug or cord is damaged?

Do not use the device. Have the cord replaced by Philips, an Authorized Service Center or a qualified technician to avoid any risk of electrocution.

Is this device suitable for artificial hair?
