Important
Read this user manual carefully before you use the
appliance and save it for future reference.
Danger
- Keep the appliance dry.
- Do not use the appliance near or over a
washbasin or bath lled with water.
- Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the
shower.
Warning
- Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or
broken to avoid injuries.
- This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Caution
- The epilator is intended for epilating the
underarms and arms, but it can also be used to
epilate the bikini line, the upper lip, the chin and
hard-to-reach areas, such as knees and ankles.
Do not use the epilator for any other purpose.
- For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only
be used by one person.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the
running epilator away from scalp hair,
eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords,
brushes etc.
- Do not use the appliance on irritated skin or
skin with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles
(with hairs) or wounds without consulting your
doctor rst.
- People with a reduced immune response or
people who suffer from diabetes mellitus,
haemophilia or immunodeciency should also
consult their doctor rst.
- Your skin may become a little red and irritated
the rst few times you use the appliance. In
rare cases, epilating in sensitive areas may also
cause bleeding points. This phenomenon is
absolutely normal and quickly disappears. As
you use the appliance more often, your skin
gets used to epilation, skin irritation decreases
and regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If
the irritation has not disappeared within three
days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
- Do not expose the appliance to temperatures
lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C.
- Only use the epilator on non-rechargeable AA
1.5V alkaline batteries.
Electromagnetic elds (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards
regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled
properly and according to the instructions in this
user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientic evidence available today.
Epilation tips
Before you start epilating
Note: Always clean the epilator before rst use.
- When you use the appliance for the rst time,
we advise you to try it out on an area with
only light hair growth to get accustomed to the
epilation process.
- We advise you to epilate before going to bed
at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry
when you start epilating.
- Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and
free from grease. Do not use any deodorant,
makeup or cream before you start epilating.
- Epilation is easier and more comfortable when
the hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If
the hairs are longer, we recommend that you
shave rst and epilate the shorter regrowing
hairs after approx. 1 week.
- As your hair grows in different cycles, it is
best to epilate a few days in a row when you
start epilating. This will help you to remain
stubble-free longer because your hairs will start
regrowing in the same cycle and pace.
During epilation
- While epilating, stretch your skin with your
free hand. This lifts up the hairs and helps to
minimise the pulling sensation.
- Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
- For optimal performance, place the epilating
head on the skin at an angle of 90° with the
on/off slide pointing in the direction in which
you are going to move the appliance. Guide the
appliance across the skin against the direction
of hair growth in a slow, continuous movement
without exerting any pressure.
- On some areas, hair may grow in different
directions. In this case, it may be helpful to
move the appliance in different directions to
achieve optimal results.
- If you sweat during epilation, dab your skin dry
with a soft cloth.
After epilation
- Use a soft deodorant without alcohol or a
special deodorising cream for epilated skin after
epilating the underarms.
- To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a
moisturising cream immediately after epilation
or a few hours after epilation, depending on
what is better for your skin.
- Regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream
(e.g. during showering) 24 hours after epilation
helps to prevent ingrowing hair, as the gentle
scrubbing action removes the upper skin
layer and ne hair can get through to the skin
surface.
Using the epilator
Inserting the batteries
1 Remove the lid of the battery compartment
by sliding it down (Fig. 2).
2 Insert two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries into the
battery compartment (Fig. 3).
Note: Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries
point in the direction indicated in the battery
compartment.
Note: New batteries offer an operating time of up to
40 minutes.
3 Slide the lid of the battery compartment back
onto the appliance.
Do not let metal objects come into contact with
the battery terminals and do not short-circuit the
batteries.
Epilating with the epilator
Use the epilator to epilate the underarms, the
bikini line, the upper lip, the chin and hard-to-reach
areas.
1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated.
Remove any residues of deodorant, cream
etc. Then dab the skin dry.
2 Switch on the appliance.
3 Place the epilating head at an angle of 90°
onto the skin with the on/off slide pointing in
the direction in which you are going to move
the appliance.
Note: Always stretch the skin with your free hand.
4 To epilate the bikini line or underarms, move
the appliance slowly over the skin, against the
direction of the hair growth.
- Epilate your bikini line as shown in the
gure (Fig. 4).
- Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure.
Raise your arm to stretch the skin. Move the
appliance in different directions to catch all
hairs (Fig. 5).
5 If you want to epilate the area around
your mouth (upper lip and chin), follow the
instructions below.
Tip: We advise you to always epilate the area
around your mouth before you go to bed at night,
as this allows any skin irritation that may develop
to disappear overnight. When you epilate the area
around the mouth the rst few times, skin irritation
or bleeding points (small injuries) may occur in rare
cases, as the skin in this area is very sensitive.
- Place the epilator at an angle of 90° onto the
skin and move the appliance slowly over the
skin against the direction of hairgrowth (Fig. 6).
Note: To make the epilation as comfortable as
possible stretch the skin around the mouth with your
free hand. Do not press the epilator too rmly against
the skin. Move the appliance slowly over the skin
against the direction of hair growth.
- You can also move the appliance in different
directions to catch all hairs (Fig. 7).
Tip: To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a
moisturising cream immediately after epilation or a
few hours after epilation, depending on what is better
for your skin.
Do not use this appliance to remove hairs that
grow out of moles.
Do not use this appliance to epilate eyebrows or
eyelashes.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never immerse the epilator in water or any
other liquid, nor rinse it under the tap (Fig. 8).
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents
or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to
clean the appliance.
Note: Make sure the epilator is switched off before
you start to clean it.
Note: Clean the appliance after each use to

to always stretch the skin with your free
hand and to epilate before you go to bed

appliance more often, your skin gets used
to it. To relax the skin, we advise you to
apply a moisturising cream (for the bikini
zone or the upper lip) or a mild alcohol-
free deodorant (for the underarms)
immediately after epilation or a few hours
after epilation, depending on what is better
for your skin.
