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, an attachment 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
- This appliance is only intended for removing women’s
body hair on areas below the neck: underarms, bikini
area and legs. Do not use it for any other purpose.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the
running
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.
- Use and store the epilator at a temperature between
10°C and 30°C.
- Noise level: Lc = 72 dB(A).
Compliance with standards
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding
electromagnetic fields (EMF).
Using the appliance
Note: Clean the epilating head and shaving head before first 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 3–4mm. If the hairs are
longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate
the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.
- When you epilate for the first time, we advise you to
epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that
develops can disappear overnight.
- To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising
cream after epilation.
Connecting the appliance
1
Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).
2
Insert the adapter into the wall socket.
Epilating the legs
If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating
with the efficiency cap. It ensures ideal contact with the skin
so that the hairs are removed effectively in one stroke.
