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 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 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.
