ENGLISH
Introduction
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 a massage attachment and an
efficiency cap. The massage attachment helps to minimise
the pulling sensation and gives you a more pleasant
feeling during epilation. The massage attachment pivots for
optimal contour following and can be easily detached for
better cleaning. The efficiency cap ensures maximum skin
contact for more efficient epilation.

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.
Always check the shaving head before you use the
appliance. Do not use the shaving head if the foil or
the trimmers are damaged, as this may cause injury.
Do not use the peeling glove immediately before or
after epilation.
General
Regular massages with the peeling glove may help to
prevent ingrowing hairs.
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance ensure
optimal results and a long life for the appliance.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards
regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled
properly and according to the instructions in this user
manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific
evidence available today.
Using the appliance
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 appliance in the bathroom, do not use
an extension cord (Fig. 4).
General information about epilation
When you use the appliance for the first time, we
advise you to try it out on an area with only light
hair growth. This helps you get accustomed to the
epilation process.
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before you start
to epilate.
Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make
sure your skin is completely dry when you start to
epilate.
We advise you to epilate before you go to bed
at night, as this allows any skin irritation that may
develop to diminish overnight.
For optimal epilation results, the hairs should not
be longer than 10mm. Use one of the following
methods if the hairs are longer than 10mm:
1 Shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm
with a trimmer. Afterwards you can immediately start
with epilation.
2 Shave the hairs completely. Then you can start to
epilate after a few days (minimum hair length 0.5mm
necessary).
As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may
cause some skin discomfort the first few times you
use the epilator. This effect gradually diminishes when
you use the appliance more often. Regrowth tends to
be softer both in appearance and to the touch.
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 pivoting massage attachment. This
attachment relaxes the skin and eases the sensation of
epilation.
If you are used to epilation, use the efficiency cap. The
efficiency cap ensures maximum skin contact and allows
you to epilate your legs more quickly and efficiently.
Only use the efficiency cap on your legs.
1 Put the desired attachment on the epilating
head (Fig. 6).
2 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance.
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.
Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair
growth.
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. 7).
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 more delicate areas of
the body, such as the underarms and bikini line.
Note: You get the best results when the hairs are not too
long (max.1cm).
1 Put the massage attachment on the epilating
head. (Fig. 8)
2 Hook the curved strip of the sensitive area cap
behind the ridge just in front of the massage beads
(1). Then press the front of the cap downwards (2)
(‘click’) (Fig. 9).
3 Switch on the appliance.
We advise you to select speed II.
4 Stretch the skin with your free hand.
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 (Fig. 7).
6 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the
direction of the hair growth.
Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 10).
Epilate your underarms as shown in the
figure (Fig. 11).
Shaving the underarms and bikini line
You can use the shaving head to shave the delicate parts
of your body, such as the underarms and bikini line areas.

comfortable and gentle way.

Using the peeling glove
Use the peeling glove in the shower. Regular massages
with the peeling glove may help to prevent ingrown hairs.
