The Philips TRESemmé Salon ProCeramic Diamond is a powerful hairdryer,
which offers the real professional quality you expect. 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 neutralise static
and prevent 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 and
thereby helps to protect your hair from overdrying.

Danger
- Keep the appliance away from water. Do not use it near or over water
contained in baths, washbasins, sinks etc. When you use the appliance in

- Do not insert metal objects into the air grilles to avoid electric shock.
Warning
- 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 mains cord or the appliance itself is damaged.
- If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a
service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.

for a moment.

Set the airflow switch to the gentle or high setting to switch on the

appliance.
Set the temperature switch to the cool, warm or hot setting.

The ion function reduces frizz and static electricity and is particularly
suitable for almost-dry hair.
To dry your hair, make brushing movements with the dryer at a small

distance from your hair (Fig. 3).
Tip: When you have finished drying each section, press the cold shot button and
direct the cool airflow at your hair. This fixes your style and adds shine.
Concentrator
The concentrator enables you to direct the airflow straight at the brush or
comb with which you style your hair.
Snap the concentrator onto the appliance. (Fig. 4)
