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. It is suitable for removing hair

from your legs, underarms and bikini line.

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.

This epilator comes with the following attachments:

Hair-lifting attachment with massage

element

This attachment lifts at-lying hairs, even the shortest

ones. Its massage element minimises the pulling sensation

and soothes the skin after the hairs have been removed.

Opti-start cap with massage element

The opti-start cap with massage element allows you to

epilate with optimal efciency and gentleness. It ensures

ideal contact with the skin and optimal positioning of the

appliance, so that hairs are removed effectively in one

stroke. The massage element gives you a relaxing and

pleasant sensation during epilation.

Sensitive area cap

The sensitive area cap has been specially designed to

epilate sensitive areas, such as your underarms and bikini

line. It minimises the pulling sensation of epilation in

sensitive areas with long-lasting results.

Trimming head and comb

The trimming head has been designed for styling sensitive

areas, the bikini line in particular. With the trimming head

and comb you can trim hair to a length of 4mm, which is

also the ideal length for epilation. If you use the trimming

head without the comb, you can use it to style your bikini

line just the way you want. Contouring your bikini line has

never been easier.

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

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: 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, trimming

head, attachments or comb if they are 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.

Using the appliance

Note: Clean the epilating head before rst use.

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 trimming head with the

comb to pre-cut 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, 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.

To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a

moisturising cream after epilation.

Fine hair that regrows might not grow up to the

skin surface. The regular use of an exfoliating sponge

or cream (e.g. during showering) helps to prevent

ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing action

removes the upper skin layer and ne hair can get

through to the skin surface.

When you use the hair-lifting attachment with

massage element or the opti-start cap with massage

element, make sure that the massage element or

the comb always stays in contact with the skin. The

massage element stimulates and relaxes the skin for a

gentler 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

We advise you to start epilating with the opti-start cap

with massage element. The opti-start cap with massage

element ensures maximum skin contact and allows you

to epilate your legs more quickly and efciently. After

a few sessions, you can use the epilating head with

the hair-lifting attachment with massage element. This

attachment ensures optimal hair lifting, relaxes the skin

and minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.

Only use the opti-start cap with massage element and

the hair-lifting attachment with massage element on

your legs.

1 Put the desired attachment (opti-start cap with

massage element or hair-lifting attachment with

massage element) on the epilating head (Fig. 6).

The procedure for placing the attachments onto the

appliance is the same for all attachments.

2 Select the desired speed to switch on the

appliance (Fig. 7).

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.

3 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the

hairs stand upright.

4 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. 8).

5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the

direction of hair growth.

Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.

Epilating the underarms and bikini line

Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that

reduces the number of active epilating discs. This makes

the appliance ideal for epilating the sensitive areas of the

body, such as the underarms and bikini line. The rst few

times you use the appliance, these areas are particularly

sensitive to pain, but after repeated use the pain sensation

diminishes.

Note: You get the best results in the most comfortable

way when the hairs are not too long (approx. 4mm). If the

hairs are longer, you can trim them to this length with the

trimming head and comb (see section ‘Trimming sensitive

areas with the trimming head and comb’ in this chapter).

1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated to remove

any residues of deodorant, cream etc. Then dab the

area dry.

2 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating

head (Fig. 9).

3 Switch on the appliance.

Preferably use speed II. Switch to speed I for areas with

little hair growth and for hard-to-reach areas.

4 Stretch the skin with your free hand. When epilating

the underarms, raise your arm to stretch the skin.

5 Place the appliance perpendicularly 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 slowly over the skin, against the

direction of the hair growth.

Epilate your bikini line as shown in the gure (Fig. 10).

Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure. Move

the appliance in different directions (Fig. 11).

Trimming sensitive areas with the trimming

head and comb

Use the trimming head to trim the hair on your

underarms and bikini line to a length of 4mm.

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