Keep the straightening plates clean and free of dust and dirt. Dust and
dirt may cause damage to the straightening plates.
If you use styling products, always clean the straightening plates after
they have cooled down to avoid damage to the straightening plates.
The plates have a ceramic coating. This coating slowly wears away over
time. This does not affect the performance of the appliance.
Do not use the appliance for any other purpose than described in this
user manual.
If you use the appliance on colour-treated hair, the straightening plates
may stain.
The maximum temperature occurs just after heating up. The actual
temperature during use may be lower.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic
fields (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this
user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence
available today.
Using the appliance
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care.
As with all straighteners that reach salon-high temperatures, do not use the
appliance frequently to avoid damage to the hair. If you use the straightener
incorrectly, you could overheat your hair or even burn it. Always make sure
you select a temperature that is suitable for your hair type.
Straightening
The display shows the selected temperature setting and the remaining
time of the straightening session.
The bars on the display show the remaining usage time of the
straightener. The total usage time is 60 minutes. Every ten minutes one
of the six bars disappears. After 60 minutes the appliance switches off.

the appliance on a heat-resistant surface when it is heating up and when
it is hot.
Tip: The straightener heats up more quickly if you lock the plates with
the closing lock.

Select a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair.
Always select a low temperature setting when you use the straightener
for the first time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a medium to high
setting (180 and up).
For fine, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a medium to low
setting (170 and down).
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since it
is susceptible to damage at high temperatures.

Danger
Keep the appliance away from water. Do not use it near or over water

RCD must have a rated residual operating current not higher than
30mA. Ask your installer for advice.
The straightening plates and the plastic parts near the plates reach a
