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 appliance 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.

• Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

• The straightening plates and the surrounding plastic parts (except the cool tip) will become hot during use! Prevent contact with the skin.
  Do not leave the plates in your hair for more than a few seconds at a time to prevent 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 storing it.

• Keep the straightening plates clean and free of dust, dirt, styling spray and gel. Using the appliance in combination with styling mousse, styling spray, gel etc. may cause damage to the ceramic-coated straightening plates.
  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 plates have 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.
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 long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.
4 Massage your scalp with your fingertips. 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 properly with a hairdryer to ensure a professional, smooth finish.

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 by means of clips, starting at the back.
3 Dry 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.
4 When 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.
Tip: 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:

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

2 Set 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.

3 Select the preferred temperature setting by turning the adjustment knob to the preferred position (1 to 25) (fig. 2).
Comb 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.

Tip: it is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair underneath first. Then straighten the top area.
Take a section that is approximately 3-4 cm wide. 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. 4).
7 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the desired look.
8 Allow 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

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.

I Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2 Let the appliance cool down on a heat-resistant surface before storing it.
3 Use the easy-lock system to lock the straightening plates together before storing 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. 5).
