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.
◗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.

◗Do not connect the handle to the mains without attaching an
attachment first. Make sure the attachment is properly fixed to
the handle before you put the plug in the wall socket.
◗Keep the attachments clean and free of dust, dirt, styling spray
and gel. Never use the appliance in combination with styling
mousse, styling spray, gel etc.
◗The attachments have a ceramic coating. This coating will wear in
the course of time. When this happens, the appliance will still
function normally.
◗The ceramic-coated parts of the attachments will become hot
during use. Prevent contact with the skin. Do not allow the
mains cord to touch any hot parts.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗Only use the appliance on dry or damp hair.
◗Always unplug the appliance after use.
◗Wait until the appliance has cooled down before storing it.
◗Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance.
Preparing for use
◗Before you start styling, comb or brush the hair so that it is
untangled and smooth.
Connecting the attachments
1Insert one of the attachments into the handle. Make sure that the
stand is pointing downwards (fig. 1).
2Turn the locking ring on the handle to the right until the bold
arrow on the locking ring is in line with the arrow on the handle.
The attachment is now securely fixed to the handle (fig. 2).
◗Follow this procedure for all attachments. To detach the
attachments, turn the locking ring to the left and pull the
attachment out of the handle.
Unplug the appliance when you remove an attachment after or
during styling. Avoid touching the metal and ceramic parts of the
attachment, as they are hot.

Using the appliance
With the Salon Geometricks 8-in-1 you can create tight curls, large
curls, waves, ringlets, crimps and a sleek look.
1After having connected the attachment to the handle, place the
appliance on the stand of the attachment and put the mains plug
in the wall socket. The pilot light goes on and the appliance starts
heating up (fig. 3).
2Start styling when the ready dot on the attachment changes
colour (fig. 4).
3When using one of the curling attachments or the brush
attachment, always make sure the end of the lock is wound in the
required direction.
4How long you have to keep the styler in your hair depends on
the thickness of your hair. If you have fine hair, 5 seconds will be
long enough for a good result. Leave the styler in your hair
longer (max. 10 seconds) if your hair is thicker.
Large or tight curls
1Connect the large or small curling attachment to the handle.
Make sure that the stand is pointing downwards.
2Take a lock of hair, open the clip by pressing the lever and place
the lock between the barrel and the clip (fig. 5).
3Release the lever and slide the barrel to the end of the lock.
Then wind the lock round the barrel.
Make sure that the end of the lock is wound in the required direction.
4Open the clip after 5 to 10 seconds and remove the barrel from
the hair. Let the curls cool down before combing, brushing or
finger-combing the hair into its final style.
◗You can comb the curls with your fingers to add volume.
ENGLISH8

Waves
Prevent the brush from getting tangled in the hair in the following
way:
- Do not put too much hair in one lock.
- Do not wind a lock of hair more than twice round the brush.
- When unwinding a lock of hair, make sure that you hold the brush
away from the underlying hair.
1Connect the small curling attachment to the handle and slide the
brush onto the curling attachment.
2Take a lock of hair and wind it round the brush (fig. 6).
3Remove the brush from your hair after 5 to 10 seconds. Let the
waves cool down before combing, brushing or finger-combing
the hair into its final style.`
Ringlets
1Connect the spiral attachment to the handle. Make sure that the
stand is pointing downwards.
2Take a lock of hair, open the clip by pressing the lever and place
the lock between the barrel and the clip (fig. 7).
3Release the lever and slide the barrel to the end of the lock.
Then wind the lock round the barrel following the spiral profile.
Make sure that the end of the lock is wound in the required
direction.
4Open the clip after 5 to 10 seconds and remove the barrel from
the hair. Let the ringlets cool down before combing, brushing or
finger-combing the hair into its final style.
ENGLISH 9

Crimps
1Connect the crimping/straightening attachment with crimping
plates to the handle (fig. 8).
2Take a lock of hair (max. 5 to 6 cm wide), open the attachment
by pressing the lever and place the lock between the plates of the
crimping/straightening attachment. Start crimping at the roots
(fig. 9).
3Keep the plates locked for 5 to 10 seconds.
4Open the attachment by pressing the lever and place a lower
section of the same lock of hair between the plates. Make sure
there is an overlap. Repeat this process until you have reached
the end of the lock.
5Let the crimps cool down. Do not brush or comb the crimps, as
this would ruin them.
The waves, curls and crimps will disappear if your hair gets wet (for
instance when you wash it). You can also use the straightening plates to
make them disappear.
Sleek look
1Open the crimping/straightening attachment. Remove the plates
one by one by grabbing their cool tips and pulling them out of
the attachment (fig. 10).
2Turn the plates round and slide them back into the attachment
(fig. 11).
Make sure that the edges of the plates are inserted properly into the
grooves.
3You have now turned the crimping attachment into a
straightening attachment. Connect the attachment to the handle
and follow the same procedure as for creating crimps. You can
also straighten the hair by slowly sliding the straightening
attachment down the lock.
