Danger

- Keep the adapter dry.

Warning

- If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced
with one of the original type in order to avoid a
hazard.

- 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.

- The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut
off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as
this causes a hazardous situation.

- Do not insert metal-containing material into the
socket for the appliance plug to avoid short circuiting.

Caution

- This appliance is only intended for removing
women’s body hair on areas below the neck:
underarms, bikini line and legs. Do not use it for any
other purpose.

- Fully charge the appliance every 3 to 4 months, even
if you do not use the appliance for a longer time.

- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the operating
appliance 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

immunodeciency should also consult their doctor rst.

- Your skin may become a little red and irritated

the rst 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 if it is damaged or
broken, as this may cause injury.

- Do not clean the appliance with water that is hotter
than shower temperature (max. 40°C).

- Charge, use and store the appliance at a temperature
between 10°C and 30°C.

- Make sure the socket is live when you charge the
appliance. The electricity supply to sockets in mirror
cabinets over washbasins or shaver sockets in
bathrooms may be cut off when the light is turned off.

- Do not use bath or shower oils when you epilate
under wet conditions, as this may cause serious skin
irritations.

Compliance with standards

This Philips appliance complies with all standards

regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF).

General

- This symbol means that this appliance is suitable for
use in a bath or shower and for cleaning under a
running tap (Fig. 2).

- For safety reasons, this appliance can only be
operated cordlessly.

Preparing for use
Charging

Charging the epilator takes approximately 1 hour. When
the epilator is fully charged, it has a cordless operating
time of up to 30 minutes.

1 Switch off the appliance before you charge it. Then

connect it to a wall socket. (Fig. 3)

, The charging light ashes white to indicate that the

appliance is charging. (Fig. 4)

, When the battery is fully charged, the charging light

lights up white continuously for 20 minutes and

then goes out (Fig. 5).

Battery low or empty

- When the battery is almost empty, the charging light

starts to ash red. When this happens, the battery

still contains enough energy for a few minutes of
epilating.

- When the battery is completely empty, the charging
light lights up red continuously. To charge the epilator,
see section ‘Charging’ above.

Using the appliance

Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully

before you use the appliance for the rst time.

Note: You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to
the mains.

Epilating tips

- Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to
start epilating on wet skin, as water relaxes the skin
and makes epilation less painful and more gentle. The
appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the
bath or shower.

Tip: If you want you can use your common shower gel or
foam.

- Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after
taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is
completely dry when you start epilating.

- General: Make sure your skin is clean and free from
grease. Do not apply any cream to your skin before
you start to epilate.

- General: We advise you to epilate before you go
to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.

- General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hairs have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs

are longer, we recommend that you shave rst and

epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.

Epilating

1 Press the on/off button once to switch on the

appliance.

, The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is

the most efcient speed for epilating.

Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button
a second time. Speed I is suitable 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.

2 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the

hairs stand upright. Place the epilating head at an

angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/off button

pointing in the direction in which you are going to

move the appliance (Fig. 6).

3 Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the

direction of the hair growth while pressing it lightly.

4 Press the on/off button a third time to switch off

the appliance.

Tip: To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising
cream immediately or a few hours after epilation.

Overheat protection

This function helps to prevent overheating of the
appliance.

Note: To avoid overheating of the epilator, do not press the
appliance too hard onto your skin. The epilator works best
when you move it over your skin without exerting excessive
pressure.

If the overheat protection is activated, the appliance

switches off automatically and the charging light ashes

red for 30 seconds.
To reset the overheat protection, let the appliance cool
down and then switch it on again.

Note: If the charging light starts to ash red again, the

appliance has not yet cooled down completely.

Overload protection

If you press the epilating head too hard onto your skin or
when the epilating discs of the epilating head get blocked
(e.g. by clothes etc.), the appliance switches off and the

charging light ashes red for 5 seconds.

Turn the epilating discs with your thumb until you can
remove whatever is blocking the epilating discs.

Cleaning and maintenance

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

appliance.

Always keep the adapter dry. Never rinse it under the

tap or immerse it in water.

- If necessary, clean the adapter with the cleaning
brush or a dry cloth.

- After each wet use, clean the appliance thoroughly
with water to ensure optimum performance.

Cleaning the appliance

2 Push the epilating head to the right (1) and remove

Note: Never try to detach the epilating discs from the
