Danger
- Keep the adapter dry.
- If you charge the epilator in the bathroom, do not use an extension
cord.
Warning
- Do not use the epilator, an attachment 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.
- The epilator 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
epilator.
- Do not insert metal-containing material into the socket on the epilator
to avoid short circuiting.
Caution
- The epilator is only intended for removing women’s body hair on areas
below the neck: underarms, bikini line and legs. Do not use it for any
other purpose.
ENGLISH

- For hygienic reasons, the epilator should only be used by one person.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the operating appliance (with
or without attachment) away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes,
clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc.
- Do not use the epilator 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 epilate 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 bath or shower oils when you epilate in the bath or
shower, as this may cause serious skin irritation.
- Do not clean the epilator with water that is hotter than shower
temperature (max. 40°C).
- Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids
such as petrol or acetone for cleaning purposes.
- Charge, use and store the epilator at a temperature between 10°C
and 30°C.
- Make sure the socket is live when you charge the epilator.The electricity
supply to sockets in mirror cabinets over washbasins or shaver sockets
in bathrooms may be cut off when the light is switched off.
- Do not look directly into the Opti-light of the epilator to avoid being
dazzled by the light.
- Do not use the epilating head of the epilator without one of the
epilation caps.
- Fully charge the epilator every 3 to 4 months, even if you do not use
the epilator for a longer time.
Compliance with standards
This Philips epilator complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic
elds (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user
manual, the epilator is safe to use based on scientic evidence available today.
ENGLISH 7

General
- This symbol means that the epilator is suitable for use in a bath or
shower.
- For safety reasons, the epilator can only be operated cordlessly.
- The adapter is equipped with an automatic voltage selector and is
suitable for mains voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts (50 -60 Hz).
- Maximum noise level of the epilator: Lc = 76dB(A)
Preparing for use
Charging
- Charging the epilator takes approx. 1 hour.When the epilator is fully
charged, it has a cordless operating time of up to 40 minutes.
1 Connect the small plug to the appliance (1) and the mains plug to the
wall socket (2).
,The charging light pulsates white to indicate that the appliance is
charging.When the batteries are fully charged, the charging light
lights up white continuously for 20 minutes and then goes out.
ENGLISH8

Batteries low or empty
- When the batteries are almost empty, the charging light starts to ash
red.When this happens, the batteries still contain enough energy for a
few minutes of operation.
- When the batteries are completely empty, the appliance stops
operating and the charging light lights up red continuously.To charge
the epilator, see ‘Charging’ above.
Using the epilator
Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully before you use the
appliance for the rst time.
Note:You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to the mains.
Epilating tips
- Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating on
wet skin, as water relaxes the skin and makes epilation less painful
and gentler.The appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the
shower or bathtub.
- Wet: If you want, you can use your common shower gel or foam.
- Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower.
- Dry: Make sure your skin is clean and free from grease. Do not apply
any cream to your skin before you start to epilate.
- General: We advise you to epilate in the evening, as skin irritation
usually disappears overnight.
- General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hairs
have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that
you shave rst and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2
weeks.Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 3-4 mm.
ENGLISH 9

Epilating the legs with the epilator
- If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use
the epilating head with the basic epilation cap.
- If your hairs lie at on your skin, we advise you to use the active hair-
lift and massage cap.This cap not only lifts up the hairs but its active
massaging roller also minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.
Note: Remove the basic epilation cap (1) before you attach another cap (2).
1 Put the cap on the epilating head.
2 Press the on/off button once to switch on the appliance.
,The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is the most
efcient speed for epilating.
Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time.
ENGLISH10

Note: Speed I is suitable for areas with little hair growth and for hard-to-reach
areas, such as knees and ankles.

(1). Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the skin with
the on/off button pointing in the direction in which you are going to
move the appliance (2).
4 Slowly move the appliance over the skin against the direction of the
hair growth while pressing it lightly.
Tip:To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately
or a few hours after epilation. For the underarms, use a mild deodorant without
alcohol.
Shaving the underarms and bikini line
Use the shaving head to shave sensitive areas, such as the underarms and
the bikini line.
Note:To get the best shaving results, use the shaving head on a dry skin. If you
want to use the shaving head in the bath or shower, we advise you to use your
common shower gel for a more gentle shave.
