5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective hair straightening:

1. Prepare Your Hair: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results and protection, apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into small, manageable sections. The extra-wide plates are designed for thick or long hair, allowing you to straighten more hair in one pass.
3. Select Temperature: The straightener offers 2 professional temperature settings. Choose the appropriate setting for your hair type. Lower temperatures are suitable for fine or damaged hair, while higher temperatures are for thick or coarse hair.
4. Straighten: Place a section of hair between the titanium-infused keratin plates, close the plates gently, and glide the straightener slowly and steadily from roots to ends. Avoid holding the straightener in one place for too long.
5. ION Functionality: This straightener is equipped with ION functionality to help reduce frizz and enhance shine. It is normal to hear a slight sizzling sound and detect a faint smell when this function is active. This is not a malfunction and is safe.
6. Repeat: Continue with the remaining sections of hair until desired results are achieved.

• Cleaning: Always ensure the appliance is switched off, unplugged, and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the plates and exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the straightener in a dry, safe place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Ensure the cord is not tightly wrapped around the appliance to prevent damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Philips BHS738/00 Straightener, refer to the following common solutions:

• Appliance not heating up: Ensure the straightener is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet and the power button is pressed. Check if the power indicator light is on.
• Sizzling sound or strange smell during use: This is normal when the ION functionality is active and is not a cause for concern.
• Hair not straightening effectively: Ensure your hair is completely dry and detangled. Use smaller sections of hair and glide the straightener at a slower, consistent pace. Verify that the correct temperature setting is selected for your hair type.
• Frizz persists: Ensure the ION functionality is active. Consider using a hair serum or heat protectant designed to combat frizz.
