Solution
The ‘ready to
flash’ light does
not work when
I place the body
attachment on
my skin, but the
cooling fan works.
The overheat
protection has
been activated.
When the overheat protection has been activated, the fan
still works. Do not switch off the appliance and let it cool
down for approx. 15 minutes before you continue to use it.
After 5 minutes the appliance switches off automatically. Then
let it cool down for 10 more minutes. If the ‘ready to flash’
light still does not work when you place the appliance on
the skin, contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country,
your Philips dealer or a Philips service centre.
The ‘ready to
flash’ light lights up
continuously, but
the appliance does
not produce a
flash when I press
the flash button.
The appliance
needs to be reset.
To reset the appliance, switch off the appliance and switch it
on again. If the ‘ready to flash’ light lights up continuously, but
the appliance still does not produce a flash when you press
the flash button, contact the Consumer Care Centre in your
country, your Philips dealer or a Philips service centre.

The body
attachment is not
placed on the
appliance properly.
Properly place the body attachment on the appliance.
All intensity lights
go on alternately.
The appliance
needs to be reset.
To reset the appliance, switch off the appliance and switch it
on again. If the intensity lights continue to go on alternately,
contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country, your

Philips dealer or a Philips service centre.
The appliance
produces a strange
smell.
The body
attachment and/
or the filter glass is
dirty.
Clean the body attachment and the light exit window
carefully. If you are unable to clean the body attachment
properly, contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country,
your Philips dealer or a Philips service centre to replace the
body attachment.
You have not
shaved the area
to be treated
properly.
If there are hairs on the area to be treated, these hairs may
get burnt when you use the appliance. As a result, you notice
a strange smell. Shave the area to be treated properly before
you use the appliance. If shaving causes skin irritation, trim
hairs as short as possible and use the Lumea Essential at a
comfortable setting.
You stored the
appliance in a
dusty environment.
Clean the appliance and the body attachment (see chapter
‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
