The
appliance
does not

Perhaps the
socket to which
the appliance
has been
connected is
not live.
Make sure the socket is live.
The appliance
may have
overheated and
switched itself
off.
Unplug the appliance and let it cool

ENGLISH 9

Problem Cause Solution
The dual
voltage switch
may have been
set to the
wrong voltage.
Make sure that the dual voltage switch
is set to the position corresponding to
the local mains voltage. If the switch is
set to 110-127 volts while the local
mains voltage is 220-240 volts, the
hairdryer will produce a very low
airow. If the switch is set to 220-240
while the local mains voltage is 110-
127 volts, the hairdryer will produce
an abnormally loud noise due to the
extremely high fan speed.
The mains cord
of the appliance
may be
damaged.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by Philips, a service centre
authorised by Philips or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
