- Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin or bath filled with water (Fig. 2).
- Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the shower (Fig. 3).
- If you use the epilator in the bathroom, do not use an extension cord (Fig. 4).
Warning
- Only use the epilator with the adapter supplied.
- Do not use the appliance, an attachment or the adapter if it is damaged or broken to avoid
injuries.
- 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.
- Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter corresponds to the local mains voltage before you
connect the appliance.
- 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
- The epilator is only intended for removing women’s body hair on areas below the neck by
epilating (legs) and shaving (underarms and bikini area, HP6572 only). Do not use the epilator
for any other purpose.
- For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only be used by one person.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running epilator (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 first.
- People with a reduced immune response or people who suffer from diabetes mellitus,
haemophilia or immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor first.
- Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times you use the epilator. This
phenomenon is absolutely normal and quickly disappears. As you use the epilator 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 look directly into the Opti-light to avoid being dazzled by the light.
- Do not use the epilating head of the epilator without attachment.
- Do not expose the epilator to temperatures lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientific evidence available today.
Epilation tips
Before you start epilating
Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator before first use.
- When you use the epilator for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only
light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.
- We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when
you start epilating.
