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.

Let the waves cool down before you comb, brush or finger-comb the hair into
its final style.

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.

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.

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

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.
