General description A B C D E F G H I Brush Small curling attachment Spiral Large curling attachment Crimping/straightening attachment Crimping/straightening plates Handle Storage pouch Hair clips Important Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference. 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 cord or the appliance itself is damaged. If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Keep this appliance away from water! Do not use this product near or over water contained in baths, washbasins, sinks etc. When used in a bathroom, unplug the appliance after use since the proximity of water presents a risk. For additional protection, we advise you to install a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice. ENGLISH 7 Do not connect the handle to the mains without attaching an attachment first. Make sure the attachment is properly fixed to the handle before you put the plug in the wall socket. Keep the attachments clean and free of dust, dirt, styling spray and gel. Never use the appliance in combination with styling mousse, styling spray, gel etc. The attachments have a ceramic coating. This coating will wear in the course of time. When this happens, the appliance will still function normally. The ceramic-coated parts of the attachments will become hot during use. Prevent contact with the skin. Do not allow the mains cord to touch any hot parts. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. Only use the appliance on dry or damp hair. Always unplug the appliance after use. Wait until the appliance has cooled down before storing it. Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance. Preparing for use Before you start styling, comb or brush the hair so that it is untangled and smooth. Connecting the attachments 1 Insert one of the attachments into the handle. Make sure that the stand is pointing downwards (fig. 1). 2 Turn the locking ring on the handle to the right until the bold arrow on the locking ring is in line with the arrow on the handle. The attachment is now securely fixed to the handle (fig. 2). Follow this procedure for all attachments. To detach the attachments, turn the locking ring to the left and pull the attachment out of the handle. Unplug the appliance when you remove an attachment after or during styling. Avoid touching the metal and ceramic parts of the attachment, as they are hot. 8 ENGLISH Using the appliance With the Salon Geometricks 8-in-1 you can create tight curls, large curls, waves, ringlets, crimps and a sleek look. 1 After having connected the attachment to the handle, place the appliance on the stand of the attachment and put the mains plug in the wall socket. The pilot light goes on and the appliance starts heating up (fig. 3). 2 Start styling when the ready dot on the attachment changes colour (fig. 4). 3 When using one of the curling attachments or the brush attachment, always make sure the end of the lock is wound in the required direction. 4 How long you have to keep the styler in your hair depends on the thickness of your hair. If you have fine hair, 5 seconds will be long enough for a good result. Leave the styler in your hair longer (max. 10 seconds) if your hair is thicker. Large or tight curls 1 Connect the large or small curling attachment to the handle. Make sure that the stand is pointing downwards. 2 Take a lock of hair, open the clip by pressing the lever and place the lock between the barrel and the clip (fig. 5). 3 Release the lever and slide the barrel to the end of the lock. Then wind the lock round the barrel. Make sure that the end of the lock is wound in the required direction. 4 Open the clip after 5 to 10 seconds and remove the barrel from the hair. Let the curls cool down before combing, brushing or finger-combing the hair into its final style. You can comb the curls with your fingers to add volume. ENGLISH Waves Prevent the 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 brush. When unwinding a lock of hair, make sure that you hold the brush away from the underlying hair. 9 1 Connect the small curling attachment to the handle and slide the brush onto the curling attachment. 2 Take a lock of hair and wind it round the brush (fig. 6). 3 Remove the brush from your hair after 5 to 10 seconds. Let the waves cool down before combing, brushing or finger-combing the hair into its final style.` Ringlets 1 Connect the spiral attachment to the handle. Make sure that the stand is pointing downwards. 2 Take a lock of hair, open the clip by pressing the lever and place the lock between the barrel and the clip (fig. 7). 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. Make sure that the end of the lock is wound in the required direction. 4 Open the clip after 5 to 10 seconds and remove the barrel from the hair. Let the ringlets cool down before combing, brushing or finger-combing the hair into its final style. 10 ENGLISH Crimps 1 Connect the crimping/straightening attachment with crimping plates to the handle (fig. 8). 2 Take a lock of hair (max. 5 to 6 cm wide), open the attachment by pressing the lever and place the lock between the plates of the crimping/straightening attachment. Start crimping at the roots (fig. 9). 3 Keep the plates locked for 5 to 10 seconds. 4 Open the attachment by pressing the lever and place a lower section of the same lock of hair between the plates. Make sure there is an overlap. Repeat this process until you have reached the end of the lock. 5 Let the crimps cool down. Do not brush or comb the crimps, as this would ruin them. The waves, curls and crimps will disappear if your hair gets wet (for instance when you wash it). You can also use the straightening plates to make them disappear. Sleek look 1 Open the crimping/straightening attachment. Remove the plates one by one by grabbing their cool tips and pulling them out of the attachment (fig. 10). 2 Turn the plates round and slide them back into the attachment (fig. 11). Make sure that the edges of the plates are inserted properly into the grooves. 3 You have now turned the crimping attachment into a straightening attachment. Connect the attachment to the handle and follow the same procedure as for creating crimps. You can also straighten the hair by slowly sliding the straightening attachment down the lock. ENGLISH 11 4 Let the sleek hair cool down before combing or brushing the hair. Cleaning Always unplug the appliance before cleaning it. Never rinse the appliance with water. Place the styler on the stand of the attachment in a safe place and let it cool down. Clean the appliance and the attachments with a small brush or a dry cloth. Storage Always unplug the appliance before storing it. Place the styler on the stand of the attachment in a safe place and let it cool down. Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance. Replacement If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or repair. Repair by unqualified people could cause an extremely hazardous situation for the user. Guarantee & service If you need information or if you have a problem, please visit the Philips website at www.philips.com or contact the Philips Customer Care Centre in your country (you will find its phone number in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). If there is no Customer Care Centre in your country, turn to your local Philips dealer or contact the Service Department of Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care BV. 12 ENGLISH Troubleshooting If problems should arise with your styler and you are unable to solve them by means of the troubleshooting guide below, please contact a Philips service centre or the Philips Customer Care Centre in your country. Problem The appliance does not work at all. Solution Perhaps there is a power failure or the socket is not live. Check if the power supply is working. If it is, check whether the socket is live by plugging in another appliance. Perhaps the appliance overheated and switched itself off. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for a few minutes. Make sure that the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage. Perhaps the mains cord of the appliance is damaged. The mains cord must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. The styling results are not what you expected. Perhaps you didn't let the appliance heat up long enough. Let the appliance heat up until the ready dot has changed colour. Perhaps you wound too much hair round the barrel or put too much hair between the plates. ENGLISH Problem Solution 13 When using 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 will be. When using the crimping/straightening attachment, make sure the locks are no wider than 5 to 6 cm for a good result. Perhaps you didn't 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. 14 FRANÇAIS Introduction Avec le nouveau Salon Geometricks 8-en-1 vous pouvez créer un nouveau look à chaque occasion.
