Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.

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 do not play with the appliance.

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, trimming head, attachments or comb 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 the trimming head with the comb to pre-cut 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 opti-start cap with massage element. This cap ensures maximum skin contact and allows you to epilate your legs more quickly and efficiently. The hair-lifting attachment with massage element ensures optimal hair lifting, relaxes the skin and minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.

Only use the opti-start cap and hair-lifting attachment on your legs.

1 Put the opti-start cap or 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.

Note: You get the best results in the most comfortable

way when the hairs are not too long (approx. 4mm). If the

hairs are longer, you can trim them to this length with the

trimming head and comb (see section ‘Trimming sensitive areas with the trimming head and comb’ in this chapter).

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.

4 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.

5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the

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).

Trimming sensitive areas with the trimming head and comb

Use the trimming head to trim the hair on your underarms and bikini line to a length of 4mm.

Note: The trimming head can only be used at speed setting I.

1 Push the epilating head in the direction of the

arrows on the back of the appliance (1) and remove it from the appliance (2) (Fig. 12).

2 Put the trimming head on the appliance (1) and

push it against the direction of the arrows on the

back of the appliance (2) to x it (Fig. 13).

3 Put the comb on the trimming head.

4 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 14).

Note: Speed II does not work when the trimming head is attached.

5 Stretch the skin with your free hand.

6 Move the appliance against the direction of hair

growth. Make sure the surface of the comb always stays in contact with the skin (Fig. 15).

Styling with the trimming head.

To style your bikini line, use the trimming head without the comb. Styling without the comb results in a hair length of approx. 0.5-1mm. You can be as creative as you like when you style your bikini line.

Note: The trimming head can only be used at speed setting I.

1 Push the epilating head in the direction of the

arrows on the back of the appliance (1) and remove it from the appliance (2) (Fig. 12).

2 Put the trimming head on the appliance (1) and

push it against the direction of the arrows on the

back of the appliance (2) to x it (Fig. 13).

3 Switch on the appliance.

Note: Speed II does not work when the trimming head is attached.

4 Move the appliance towards the desired contour

of your bikini line, against the direction of hair growth. Touch the skin lightly with the trimming head (Fig. 16).
