Quick guide from the manual

The Philips SalonDry Compact is designed for efficient hair drying. Before use, ensure the local voltage matches the appliance requirements. Always unplug the device after use, especially in a bathroom environment. If the device overheats, it will switch off automatically; unplug it and allow it to cool down before checking the air grilles for blockages.

Safety instructions

  • If using in a bathroom, unplug immediately after use, even if switched off.
  • Do not block the air grilles or insert metal objects into them.
  • Do not use on artificial hair.
  • Do not wind the power cord around the appliance.

Using the hairdryer
