Introduction
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.

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, entirely 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 completely 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
will gradually diminish 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. It will make your skin feel smoother and will
give you a fresh sensation. Do not use lotions that contain alcohol.
Using the appliance
Connecting the appliance
1 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).
2 Insert the mains plug into the wall socket (Fig. 6).
Epilating the legs
1 Switch the appliance on by selecting the desired speed.
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).
