If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service

(RCD) in the electrical circuit that supplies the bathroom. This RCD must have
a rated residual operating current not higher than 30mA. Ask your installer for
advice.

Preparing for use
Washing
The styler 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 TRESEmmé 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 fingertips. 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 professional styling results, it is essential to prepare your hair for styling. Dry
your hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a professional, smooth finish.
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.
4
When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the cool
setting for a final 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 airflow
than regular dryers. Thanks to this combination, they dry just as quickly as regular
hairdryers but in a gentler way.
Using the appliance
Styling your hair
Heat stylers are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care.
As with all heat stylers that reach salon high temperatures, do not use the
appliance frequently to avoid damage to the hair. If you use the heat styler
incorrectly, you could overheat your hair or even burn it. Always follow the steps
below.
1
Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
2
Pull the lock upwards to unlock the appliance if it is locked (Fig. 2).
3
Push the on/off slide upwards to switch on the appliance.
The power-on light goes on.
,
The appliance starts to heat up. The appliance is ready for use within 90
,
seconds.
4
Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth.
5
Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair in one
section (Fig. 3).
Tip: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair underneath first,
followed by the top area.
Styling with the straightening attachment
1
Take a section that is 3-4cm wide. Place it between the straightening plates and
press the handles of the appliance firmly together.
