Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to

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. The

ideal combination of epilator, exfoliation glove and cooling

glove makes epilation more comfortable and leaves your

skin smooth, fresh and hair-free for several weeks.

Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the

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

- 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

- 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 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, the shaving head, the

hair-lifting attachment or the shaving comb if it is

damaged or broken, as this may cause injury.

Electromagnetic elds (EMF)

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.

Epilation tips

- 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.

- 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 rst

and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or

2 weeks or that you use the shaving head with the

shaving head comb attachment to pretrim hairs to

this ideal length.

- When you epilate for the rst time, we advise you to

epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that

develops can disappear overnight.

- While epilating stretch your skin with your free hand.

This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimise the

pulling sensation.

- For optimal performance, place the appliance on

the skin at right angles (90°) with the on/off slide

pointing in the direction in which you are going to

move the appliance. Guide the appliance across the

skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow,

continuous movement without exerting any pressure.

- On some areas, hair may grow in different directions.

In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance

in different directions to achieve optimal results.

- When you use the hair-lifting attachment with

massage element, make sure that the massage

element and the comb of the hair-lifting attachment

always stay in contact with the skin.

Preparing for use

Freezing the ice gel pad

Keep the ice gel pad out of the reach of children (Fig. 5).

Do not use a damaged ice gel pad (Fig. 6).

Do not use the ice gel pad if you are hypersensitive to

cold.

1 Put the ice gel pad without the cooling glove in the

freezer or freezing compartment (***) at least 2

hours before you start to epilate (Fig. 7).

Make sure the outside of the ice gel pad is completely

dry before you freeze it.

Tip: You can store the ice gel pad in the freezer permanently.

Using the appliance

Note: Clean the epilating head before rst use.

Connecting the appliance

1 Insert the small plug into the appliance (Fig. 8).

2 Insert the adapter into the wall socket.

Epilating the legs with the cooling glove

Use the cooling glove immediately after epilation to

soothe and relax your skin.

1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated. Remove

any residues of oil, cream etc. Then dab the area

dry.

2 Put the ice gel pad in the compartment of the

cooling glove and close the Velcro fastener (Fig. 9).

Only use the ice gel pad in combination with the cooling

glove.

3 Select the desired speed to switch on the

appliance (Fig. 10).

Preferably use speed II. Switch to 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.

4 For optimal results, place the epilator at a 90°

angle onto the skin with the on/off slide pointing

in the direction in which you are going to move

the appliance. Stretch your skin with your free

hand (Fig. 11).

5 After you have epilated a certain area or after each

stroke with the epilator, push your hand into the

cooling glove and start cooling the area (Fig. 12).

Do not leave the cooling glove on the same area for

more than 2 minutes.

Epilating with the hair-lifting attachment

with massage element

Use the hair-lifting attachment with massage element

when you are new to epilation. This attachment ensures

optimal hair lifting, relaxes the skin and minimises the

pulling sensation of epilation.

Note: You get the best results and epilating is most

comfortable when the hairs are not too long (3-4mm). If the

hairs are longer, trim them to this length with the shaving

head with comb attachment (see section ‘Pretrimming

with the shaving head and comb attachment before

epilation’ in this chapter).

1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated. Remove

any residues of oil, cream etc. Then dab the skin dry.

2 Put the hair-lifting attachment with massage

element on the epilating head (Fig. 13).

3 Follow steps 3 to 6 in the section ‘Epilating with

the cooling glove’ above.

Shaving the underarms and bikini line

Use the shaving head to shave sensitive areas such as the

bikini line.

Note: The shaving head can only be used at speed setting I.

1 Push the epilating head in the direction of the

arrows on the back of the appliance (1) and remove

it from the appliance (2) (Fig. 14).

2 Put the shaving head on the appliance (1) and push

it against the direction of the arrows on the back of

the appliance (2) to x it. (Fig. 15)

3 Switch on the appliance. (Fig. 16)

Note: Speed II does not work when the shaving head is

attached.

4 Stretch the skin with your free hand. When shaving

the underarms, raise your arm to stretch the skin.

5 Place the appliance at a 90° angle onto your skin,

with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in

which you are going to move the appliance.

6 Move the appliance against the direction of hair

growth. (Fig. 17)

Note: Make sure that the shaving foil with integrated

trimmer is always fully in contact with the skin.

- Shave your bikini line as shown in the gure. (Fig. 18)

- Shave your underarms as shown in the gure. Move

the appliance in different directions. (Fig. 19)

7 When you have nished shaving, switch off the

appliance and clean the shaving head (see chapter

‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

8 Put the protection cap on the shaving head when

you store the appliance.

Pretrimming with the shaving head and

comb attachment before epilation

Use the shaving head and comb attachment to trim your

bikini line to a hair length of 4mm. You can also use the

trimming comb to pretrim long hairs (longer than 10mm).

Note: The shaving head can only be used at speed setting I.

1 Push the epilating head in the direction of the

arrows on the back of the appliance (1) and remove

it from the appliance (2) (Fig. 14).
