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.
Shaving head and comb attachment
The shaving head has been designed for shaving sensitive
areas, in particular the bikini line. With the shaving head,
you obtain a smooth result in a comfortable and gentle
way.
Use the shaving head comb attachment to pretrim the
hairs before epilation. You get the best epilating results in
the most comfortable way if the hairs are not too long.

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
immunodeciency 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 scientic
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 shaving head with the
shaving head comb attchment 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.
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, make sure that the massage
element and the comb of the hair-lifting attachment
always stay 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
If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start
epilating with the hair-lifting attachment with massage
element. This attachment ensures optimal hair
lifting, relaxes the skin and minimises the pulling sensation
of epilation.
If you already have some experience with epilation, you
can simply use the epilating head without any attachment.

Pretrimming your legs before epilation
