Warning
Do not use this appliance near water. Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, •
showers, basins or other vessels containing water.
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.
During use, care should be taken to ensure that the supply cord does not •
come into contact with water or drape in the sink.
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 service centre authorised •
by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, •
sensory 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 flammable items. •
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. •
• Polarized plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As
a safety feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
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 straightening plates and the plastic parts near the plates reach a high temperature •
quickly. 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 plates in your hair for more than a few seconds at a time as this may cause •
damage to your hair.
