Philips HP4897 Directions For Use Manual page 2

ENGLISH
Introduction
The Philips Salon Pro is a powerful hairdryer with a professional design and
performance. Moreover, this hairdryer has features that protect your hair from
damage and give you the reassurance of the best results.
The ion function produces negatively charged ions, which prevent static and flyaway
hair, leaving it frizz-free, manageable and shiny.
Next to the ion function, this hairdryer contains a ceramic element that produces a
gentler warmth than a conventional heating element, thus protecting your hair from
overdrying.

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 hairdryer 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.
Never block the air grilles.
This appliance is equipped with an overheat protection device. If the appliance
overheats, it will switch off automatically. Unplug the appliance and let it cool
down for a few minutes. Before you switch the appliance on again, check the
grilles to make sure they are not blocked by fluff, hair, etc.
Always switch the appliance off before putting it down, even if it is only for a
moment.
Always unplug the appliance after use.
Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance.
You may notice a characteristic odour when using this hairdryer with the ion
function switched on. This is caused by the ions that are generated and it is
not harmful to the human body.
Do not probe the ion generator or ceramic heating element with metal
objects.
