HOW TO KEEP HAIR HEALTHY & SHINY SensorCare provides a truly innovative way to dry hair fast yet, at the same time, protect its natural moisture content. This is made possible through Philips' revolutionary SensorCare Technology System, consisting of an infrared temperature Sensor which constantly monitors the temperature of your hair while you're drying it. As it senses, it automatically self-regulates and adjusts to deliver just the right amount of heat to prevent overdrying. Overdried hair tends to look frizzy and dull, feels coarse and is more difficult to style. Speed Settings (C) The SensorCare Hair Dryer is equipped with 3 Speed Settings: I, II, III. I Gives a gentle airflow for precise styling II Offers a more efficient airflow III For powerful airflow For long-lasting results, you can direct a cool airstream onto your final style. For a few seconds, hold the Cool Button (D) down for cool air. When pressing the Cool Button, the Temperature Indicator Light will start to "blink, " indicating that the temperature of the airflow is below the care temperature of 135ºF. The Volume Diffuser has been specially designed for the SensorCare Hair Dryer as it has a special opening which allows the Sensor to monitor the temperature of the hair. The Volume Diffuser gives a gentle, even airflow and is suitable for both curly and straight hair. It creates a soft natural style via the "fingers" which guide the airflow to the roots of the hair to create maximum volume.

Healthy Hair E Volume Diffuser (For model HP4874 only) F Styling Nozzle Overdried Hair Sensor & SensorCare Technology System The SensorCare Hair Dryer could well be the most intelligent Hair Dryer ever invented. The way it works can be compared to how a person's eyes and brain work. A person's eyes see something, via the nervous system, which is signaled to the brain. The brain then interprets this signal and commands an action, such as raising an arm. With the SensorCare Hair Dryer, the Sensor acts as the eye, the SensorCare Technology System acts as the brain and the temperature of the airflow is the arm. The Sensor constantly monitors the temperature of the hair. As long as the temperature of the hair stays below the care, safe temperature of 135ºF, maximum power is used for fast drying. But once the temperature of the hair gets closer to the care temperature, the SensorCare Technology System will automatically reduce the temperature of the airflow to safe, nondamaging levels. Feedback to the user is transmitted via the LED Temperature Indicator, which shows the temperature development of the airflow and the status of the drying process. The Temperature Indicator Light blinks during the drying process to indicate the following stages: Constant Green Hair is wet, maximum power and heat is applied for fast drying. Blinking Green Hair is damp, the temperature of the airflow is gradually reduced to the care temperature to avoid overdrying. To Use Volume Diffuser (For model HP4874 only) 1. Hold Hair Dryer firmly in one hand and snap Volume Diffuser onto end of Hair Dryer barrel. Turn Hair Dryer ON to desired setting: I - Gentle, II - Efficient, or III - Powerful airflow. After drying, turn Hair Dryer to OFF position and unplug from outlet. · Insert the Diffuser's "fingers" into the hair until they touch the scalp. Then begin making rotating movements. The best results are obtained if you start at the lower part of the head and move slowly upwards, always making rotating movements. This special Diffuser brings the warm air evenly to the scalp. FOR CURLY HAIR For hair with curls or waves, hold the Diffuser at 4-6 in. /10-15 cm. distance from the head to let the hair dry gradually. While this happens, you can shape your hair with your free hand or with a coarse-toothed comb. [. . . ] Allow the appliance to cool and store out of reach of children in a safe, dry location.
