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.

You can visit our website at wwww.philips.com for more information about this
product or other Philips products.

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.

◗ Tip: Finishing off your drying session with a cool airflow will make your hair

shinier.

Concentrator

The concentrator enables you to direct the airflow straight at the brush or comb with
which you are styling your hair.

1 Connect the concentrator by simply snapping it onto the appliance.

Disconnect it by pulling it off (fig. 3).

Volume diffuser

The volume diffuser has been specially developed to gently dry both straight
and curly or wavy hair.

◗ The volume diffuser emits a gentle airflow and allows you to give your style

volume and bounce.

1 Connect the diffuser by simply snapping it onto the appliance and align the

arrows on the diffuser and the barrel. Disconnect it by pulling it off (fig. 4).

◗ To add volume at the roots, insert the pins into your hair in such a way that

they touch your scalp (fig. 5).

2 Make rotating movements with the appliance to distribute the warm air evenly

through your hair (fig. 6).

The ceramic tips of the diffuser (HP4892/91 only) protect the hair from damage.

Drying tips

Curly or wavy hair

1 Hold the diffuser at a distance of 10-15 cm from your head to let the hair dry

gradually (fig. 7).

2 In the meantime you can style your hair with your free hand or with a comb.

3 You can also scrunch locks of hair in your hand to model the curls and waves

while drying. This will prevent the curls from sagging or becoming frizzy.

Long hair

◗ To dry long hair, you can spread out locks of hair on top of the diffuser (fig.

8).

◗ Alternatively, you can comb the hair downwards with the pins of the diffuser

while drying (fig. 9).

Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning it.

Never rinse the appliance with water.

1 Remove the inlet grille to remove hairs and dust.

2 Clean the appliance with a dry cloth.

3 Clean the attachment with a moist cloth or by rinsing it under the tap.

Storage

Always unplug the appliance before storing it.

◗ Put the appliance in a safe place and let it cool down.
◗ Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance.
◗ The appliance can be stored by hanging it from its hanging loop.

Environment

◗ Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end

of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing
this you will help to preserve the environment
(fig. 10).
