This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding
electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled properly and according to the
instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientic evidence available today.
Preparing for use
Washing
The straightener gives the best results on well-washed hair.We advise you
to follow the washing tips below:
1 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 up long hair onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.
4 Massageyourscalpwithyourngertips.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
To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for
straightening. Dry you hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a
professional, smooth nish.
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 Divide the hair into sections using clips. Start at the back.
3 Todryeachsection,pullastraighteningbrushdownthehairlength.
Follow the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing
towards the hair ends.

thecoolsettingforanalcoolshot.Thisclosesthecuticlesand
adds shine to the hair.
Tip: Philips Salon Pro hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a
stronger airow than regular dryers. Thanks to this combination, they dry just
as quickly as regular hairdryers but in a gentler way.
Using the appliance
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.
Always put the appliance on a heat-resistant surface when it is heating
up and when it is hot.
Straightening
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must 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:
1 Put the plug in the wall socket.
2 Press the on/off button.
Thetemperaturesettingof110appearsonthedisplay(Fig.2).
As soon as the appliance has heated up to this setting, the word
‘READY’ appears on the display.
Tip: If you lock the plates with the closing lock, the straightener heats up
more quickly.
3 Select a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair type.
Select a low temperature setting when you use the straightener for
the rst time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a medium to high
setting (170 and up).
For ne, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a medium to
low setting (160 and down).

5 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and
smooth.(Fig.4)
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 rst, followed by the top area.
6 Takeasectionthatisnotwiderthan5cm.Placeitbetweenthe
straighteningplatesandpressthehandlesoftheappliancermly

from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent
overheating.(Fig.5)
8 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the
desired look.
9 Let your hair cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it has
cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just created.
