Philips!

To fully benet from the support that Philips offers,

With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair

quickly, easily

and effectively.

The rotating discs catch even the shortest hairs (down

to 0.5mm) and pull them out by the root. The hairs

that grow back are soft and thin. Epilating with this new

appliance leaves your skin smooth and hair-free

for several weeks.

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 lled 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

Check if the mains voltage indicated on the appliance

corresponds to the local mains voltage before you

connect the appliance.

Only use the appliance in combination with the

adapter supplied.

Do not use the appliance if the adapter or the

appliance itself 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.

To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running

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 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.

General

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance ensure

optimal results and a long life for the appliance.



This Philips appliance complies with all standards

regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled

properly and according to the instructions in this user

manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientic

evidence available today.

Preparing for use

Make sure your skin is clean, dry and free from

grease. Do not use any cream before you start

epilating.

Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower.

Make sure your skin is dry when you start epilating.

When you use the appliance for the rst time, we

advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair

growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.

As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may

cause some skin discomfort the rst few times you

use the epilator. This effect gradually diminishes when

you use the appliance more often. Regrowth tends to

be softer both in appearance and to the touch.

After epilation, you can apply a mild cream or lotion

to help reduce possible skin irritation. This makes

your skin feel smoother and gives you a fresh

sensation. Do not use lotions that contain alcohol.

Using the appliance

Connecting the appliance

1 Put the appliance plug in the epilator. (Fig. 5)

2 Put the adapter in the wall socket (Fig. 6).

Epilating the legs

1 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance.

Select 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 (Fig. 7).

Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair

growth (Fig. 8).

2 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the

hairs stand upright. (Fig. 9)

Note: Stretching the skin properly is particularly important if

you have sensitive or delicate skin.

3 Place the epilator perpendicularly onto the skin

with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in

which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 10).

4 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the

direction of hair growth. (Fig. 11)

Do not apply pressure.

5 Put the on/off slide to position 0 to switch off the

appliance (Fig. 12).

Epilating the underarms and bikini line

(HP2844 only)

Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that makes

the appliance suitable for epilating the more delicate areas

of the body, such as the underarms and bikini line.

The sensitive area cap reduces the number of active

epilating discs and stretches the skin during epilation. This

makes the appliance ideal for the more delicate areas of

the body.

Note: You get the best results when the hairs are not too

long (max. 1cm).

1 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating

head (Fig. 13).

Note: The sensitive area cap can only be tted onto the

epilating head in one way.

2 Select the desired speed to switch on the

appliance (Fig. 14).

We advise you to select speed II.

3 Stretch the skin with your free hand (Fig. 9).

4 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin

with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in

which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 10).
