Philips HP4990-05 - Manual (Page 3)

Using the appliance
Drying
1 Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet.
2 Set the airflow switch to the gentle or high
setting to turn on the appliance.
3 Set the temperature switch to the cool, warm
or hot setting.
4 Turn the ion function on or off with the
ion slide switch.
The ion function reduces frizz and static electricity
and is particularly suitable for almost-dry hair.
Note: You may notice a characteristic odor when
you turn on the ion function. This odor is a normal
occurrence caused by the ions that are generated.
5 To dry your hair, make brushing movements
with the hairdryer at a small distance from
your hair (Fig. 3).
Tip: When you have finished drying each section, press
the cold shot button and direct the cool airflow at
your hair. This fixes your style and adds shine.
Concentrator
The concentrator enables you to direct the airflow
straight at the brush or comb with which you style
your hair.
1 Snap the concentrator onto the
appliance. (Fig. 4)
To disconnect the concentrator, pull it off the
appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance
This hairdryer is virtually maintenance-free. No
lubrication is needed. For proper operating
performance, the hairdryer must be kept clean.
When cleaning is needed:
1 Turn off and unplug the appliance.
2 Let the appliance cool down in a safe, dry
place out of the reach of children.
3 Remove dust and lint from the air outlet and
inlet grilles with a small brush or the brush
attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
Blocked air outlet and inlet grilles cause the
hairdryer to overheat. Make sure you keep the air
inlet and outlet grilles clean.
4 Wipe the outer surface of the hairdryer with
a dry cloth.
Never immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid, nor rinse it under the faucet.
There are no other user-serviceable parts. For
assistance, call 1-800-243-7884.
Storage
Caution: Never allow the power cord to be
pulled or twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap
the cord tightly around the hairdryer. Damage
will occur at the point of entry into the hairdryer,
causing it to rupture and short. Inspect the cord
frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if
damage is visible or if the hairdryer stops or
operates intermittently. If the cord or hairdryer is
damaged or does not operate properly, stop using
it and call 1-800-243-7884 for assistance.
1 Turn off and unplug the appliance.
2 Let the appliance cool down in a safe,
dry place out of the reach of children.
3 Store the appliance in a safe, dry location. Do
not hang the appliance by its cord. Do not put
any stress on the cord, as this could cause the
cord to fray and break.
