Waves

 1 

 Connect the small curling attachment to the handle. Slide the slide-on brush 

onto the curling attachment.

 2 

 Take a lock of hair and wind it round the slide-on brush (Fig. 7).

Prevent the slide-on brush from getting tangled in the hair in the following way:

Do not put too much hair in one lock.

Do not wind a lock of hair more than twice round the slide-on brush.

When you unwind a lock of hair, make sure that you hold the slide-on brush 

away from the underlying hair.

 3 

 Remove the slide-on brush from your hair after 5 to 10 seconds.

 4 

 Let the waves cool down before you comb, brush or finger-comb the hair into 

its final style.
Small ringlets

 1 

 Connect the twisted curling attachment to the handle.

 2 

 Take a lock of hair, press the lever to open the clip and place the lock between 

the barrel and the clip (Fig. 8).

Note: Make sure that you wind the end of the lock in the required direction.

 3 

 Open the clip after 5 to 10 seconds and remove the barrel from the hair.

 4 

 Let the ringlets cool down before you comb, brush or finger-comb the hair 

into its final style.
Large ringlets

 1 

 Connect the large curling attachment to the handle. Slide the slide-on spiral 

onto the curling attachment.

 2 

 Take a lock of hair, press the lever to open the clip and place the lock between 

the barrel and the clip (Fig. 9).

 3 

 Release the lever and slide the barrel to the end of the lock. Then wind the 

lock round the barrel following the spiral profile.

Note: Make sure that you wind the end of the lock in the required direction.

 4 

 Open the clip after 5 to 10 seconds and remove the barrel from the hair.

 5 

 Let the ringlets cool down before you comb, brush or finger-comb the hair 

into its final style.
Flicks

 1 

 Connect the straightening attachment to the handle.

 2 

 Slide the straightening plates into the attachment with the curved sides 

pointing towards each other (Fig. 10).

 3 

 Take a lock of hair (max. 5 to 6cm wide). Press the lever to open the 

straightening attachment and place the lock between the plates (Fig. 11).

Decide if you want to create inward or outward flicks. Hold the appliance in such a 

way that the curved sides of the plates create the desired type of flick.

 4 

 Slide the styler gently down the length of the hair in a few seconds. When the 

plates are 3-5cm above the end of the lock, slightly twist the appliance inwards 

or outwards to create the desired type of flick.
Sleek look

 1 

 Press the lever to open the straightening attachment.

 2 

 Remove the straightening plates one by one. Grab the cool tip and pull 

each plate out of the straightening attachment (Fig. 12).

 3 

 Turn the plates round and slide them back into the attachment with the flat 

sides pointing towards each other (Fig. 13).

You can now use the straightening attachment to create sleek hair without flicks.

Make sure that the edges of the plates are inserted properly into the grooves.

 4 

 Take a lock of hair (max. 5 to 6cm wide). Press the lever to open the 

straightening attachment and place the lock between the plates.

 5 

 Slide the styler gently down the length of the hair in a few seconds.

 6 

 Let the sleek hair cool down before you comb or brush it.

Guarantee & service 

If you need service or information or if you have a problem, please visit the Philips 

website at

 www.philips.com

 or contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your 

country (you find its phone number in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). If there is no 

Consumer Care Centre in your country, go to your local Philips dealer.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the 

appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact 

the Consumer Care Centre in your country. 

Problem

Solution

The appliance does 

not work.

Perhaps there is a power failure or the socket is not live. Check if the 

power supply works. If it does, plug in another appliance to check 

whether the socket is live.
Perhaps the appliance is not suitable for the mains voltage to which 

it is connected. Make sure that the voltage indicated on the appliance 

corresponds to the local mains voltage.
Perhaps the mains cord of the appliance 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.

The styling results are 

not satisfactory.

Perhaps you did not let the appliance heat up long enough. Let the 

appliance heat up until the ready dot changes colour.
Perhaps you wound too much hair round the barrel or put too much 

hair between the plates. When you use the curling attachments or the 

slide-on brush, do not make the locks too thick. The thinner the lock 

of hair, the tighter the curl. When you use the straightening attachment, 

make sure the locks are no wider than 5 to 6cm for a good result.
Perhaps you did not leave the styling attachment in your hair long 

enough. Keep the styler in your hair for 5 to 10 seconds, depending on 

the thickness of your hair.
