Important

Danger

- Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.

- Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin

or bath filled with water (Fig. 2).

- Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the

shower (Fig. 3).

- If you use the appliance in the bathroom, do not use

an extension cord (Fig. 4).

Warning

- Only use the appliance in combination with the

adapter supplied.

- Do not use the appliance or the adapter if it is

damaged.

- If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced with

one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard.

- The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut

off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as
this causes a hazardous situation.

- 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

Caution

- Only epilate the underarms and bikini line with the
sensitive area cap attached.

- This appliance is only intended for removing
women’s body hair on areas below the neck. Do not
use it for any other purpose.

- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the operating
appliance (with or without attachment) 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 first.
People with a reduced immune response or people
who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or
immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor first.

- Your skin may become a little red and irritated the
first few times you use the epilator. 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 use the epilating head and attachments if
they are damaged or broken, as this may cause injury.

Electromagnetic elds (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards
regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF).

Using the appliance

Note: Clean the epilating head before rst use.

Epilation tips

- 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 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 either shave first
and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2
weeks, or that you use a trimmer with comb to pre­cut hairs to this ideal length.

- When you epilate for the first time, we advise you to
epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that
develops can disappear overnight.

- On some areas, e.g. the underarms, hair may grow in
different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to
move the appliance in different directions to achieve
optimal results.

Connecting the appliance

1 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).

2 Insert the adapter into the wall socket.

Epilating the legs

We advise you to start epilating with the hair-lifting
attachment with massage element. This attachment
ensures optimal hair lifting, relaxes the skin and minimises
the pulling sensation of epilation.

Only use the hair-lifting attachment on your legs.

1 Put the hair-lifting attachment on the epilating

head (Fig. 6).

The procedure for placing the attachments onto the
appliance is the same for all attachments.

2 Select the desired speed to switch on the

appliance (Fig. 7).

Preferably use speed II. Switch to speed I for areas with
little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas
where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such
as knees and ankles.

3 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the

hairs stand upright. Then place the epilator 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 (Fig. 8).

4 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the

direction of hair growth.

Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.

Epilating the underarms and bikini line

Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that
reduces the number of active epilating discs.

1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated to remove

any residues of deodorant, cream etc. Then dab the
area dry.

2 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 9).

3 Switch on the appliance.

Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs
stand upright. Then place the epilator 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.

direction of the hair growth.

- Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 10).

- Epilate your underarms as shown in the figure. Move
the appliance in different directions (Fig. 11).

Cleaning and maintenance

Note: Make sure the appliance is switched off and
unplugged before you start to clean it.

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or
aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the
appliance.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarises the most common problems
you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable
to solve the problem with the information below, contact
the Consumer Care Centre in your country.

Problem Cause Solution

Poor
epilating
results.

You move
the ap­pliance in
the wrong
direction.

Move the appliance against
the direction of hair growth,
with the on/off slide pointing
in the direction in which you
move the appliance.

Problem Cause Solution

The
appliance
does not
work.

You
place the
epilating
head on
the skin at
the wrong
angle.

The hairs
are too
short.

The socket
to which
the ap­pliance is
connected
is not live.

Make sure that you place
the appliance on the skin at
an angle of 90° (see chapter
‘Using the appliance’).

Sometimes hairs are too
short to be caught. The opti­mal length for easy removal of
the hairs is 3-4mm. The hairs
that are not caught during this
session will be long enough to
be removed when you epilate
the next time. You can also try
to catch the hairs by moving
the appliance across the skin a
few more times.

Make sure the socket is live. If
you have connected the epila­tor to the socket in a bath­room cabinet, you may need
to switch on the bathroom
light to activate the socket.
