Check if the power supply works. If it does, plug in another appliance to check whether the socket is live.

Set the on/off slide to ‘I’ to switch on the appliance.

Set the on/off slide to ‘0’ and then to ‘I’ again to switch the appliance off and on again.

Make sure that the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage.

If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.

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 a bathroom, unplug it after use. The proximity of water presents a risk, even when the appliance is switched off.

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 ser vice

centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensor y or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance. Keep the appliance away from non-heat-resistant surfaces and never cover the

appliance with anything (e.g. a towel or clothing) when it is hot. Keep the appliance away from ammable items.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains.

Caution

For additional protection, we advise you to install a residual current device

(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. The barrel and the clip become hot during use. Prevent the hot surfaces of the

appliance from coming into contact with your skin. The maximum temperature occurs just after heating up. The actual temperature

during use may be lower. Always unplug the appliance after use.

For safety reasons, the appliance automatically switches off after having been on

for 1 hour. Wait until the appliance has cooled down before you store it.

Always switch off the appliance before you put it down, even if it is only for a

moment. Do not leave the barrel in your hair for more than a few seconds at a time to

prevent damage to your hair. Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance.

Only use the appliance on dry hair.

Do not use the appliance on articial hair.

Do not use the appliance for any other purpose than described in this manual.

Keep the barrel and the clip clean and free of dust, dirt and styling products such

as mousse, spray and gel. Dust, dirt and styling products may cause damage to the ceramic coating. The barrel and the clip have a ceramic coating. This coating slowly wears away

over time. This does not affect the performance of the appliance. If you use the appliance on colour-treated hair, the barrel may stain.

Electromagnetic elds (EMF)

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.

Using the appliance

Curlers are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care. As with all curlers that reach salon high temperatures, do not use the appliance frequently to avoid damage to the hair. If you use the curler incorrectly or if you use it at the wrong temperature setting, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.
