The new Philips SalonStraight DUO is specially designed to give you
perfect straight results and to prevent hair damage at the same time. This
is because this straightener has two sets of plates next to each other,
which give the hair a dual treatment in one single stroke. First, the ceramic
straightening plates with professional styling temperatures glide over the
hair to give perfect results. Immediately after that, the white marble
protection plates softly glide over the hair to neutralise damaging excess
heat within seconds.

Important
Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it
for future reference.
Danger
Keep the appliance away from water. Do not use it near or over
water contained in baths, washbasins, sinks etc. 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.

local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.

ENGLISH
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 qualied 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 ammable items.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.
Always unplug the appliance after use.
Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips
for examination or repair. Repair by unqualied people could cause
an extremely hazardous situation for the user.
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.
Keep the plates clean and free of dust, dirt and styling products such
as mousse, spray and gel. Dust, dirt and styling products may cause
damage to the ceramic-coated straightening plates.
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 straightening plates have a ceramic coating. This coating slowly
wears away over time. This does not affect the performance of the
appliance.

This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding
electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled properly and according to the
instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientic evidence available today.
Using the appliance
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.
Always put the appliance on a heat-resistant surface when it is heating
up and when it is hot.
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 or if you use it at the wrong temperature setting,
you could overheat your hair or even burn it. Always make sure you
select a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair type.
Straightening
1 Put the plug in the wall socket.
2 Set the on/off switch to ‘on’.
The power-on light goes on.

The straightening plates heat up rapidly and are ready for use
within 60 seconds.
Some condensation may develop on the inside of the window near the
marble plate. This is normal and does not affect the performance of the
appliance.
3 Set the temperature setting selector to the preferred temperature
setting (1-25) (Fig. 2).
Always select a low temperature setting when you use the
straightener for the rst time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a temperature
setting between 13 and 25 (155°C-210°C).
For ne, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a temperature
setting between 1 and 12 (115°C-150°C).
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since
it is susceptible to damage at high temperatures.
4 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and
smooth. (Fig. 3)
Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair in
one section.
Tip: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair
underneath rst, followed by the top area.
5 Take a section that is approximately 3-4cm wide.
6 Hold the straightener in such a way that the marble protection
plates point upwards and the hot straightening plates point
downwards (Fig. 4).
Look at the symbol on the appliance. (Fig. 5)
If the hot straightening plates point in the wrong direction, turn the
appliance around. When you slide the straightener down the hair, the hot
straightening plates must touch the hair before the marble protection
plates.

to hair end, without stopping (Fig. 6).
9 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the

cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just created.
