Frequently Asked Questions - SC1999/00 LUMEA ADVANCED PHILIPS

How to use the epilator for the first time?

Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Start with a small area to get used to it. Select speed I for sensitive areas. Stretch the skin and slowly move the device against the direction of hair growth.

What accessories are included and what are they for?

The epilator comes with a massage head (reduces discomfort), an efficient adapter (for legs), a special sensitive areas adapter (for underarms and bikini line), an exfoliating glove (to prevent ingrown hairs) and a cleaning brush.

Can the epilator be used in the shower or bath?

No, the device and adapter must not get wet. Never use the epilator in the bath, under the shower, or near a bathtub or sink filled with water.

How to clean the epilator?

Turn off and unplug the device. Remove the accessories. Remove hairs with the brush. Rinse the accessories under running water while rotating them, then dry. For the epilation head, rinse it for 5 to 10 seconds and dry it before putting it back.

Why are the epilation results not satisfactory?

Check that you move the device against the direction of hair growth, the angle is perpendicular to the skin, the skin is clean and dry, and the hairs are at least 0.5 mm. Do not use the sensitive areas adapter on the legs.

Does the epilator work on battery?

No, the epilator only works on mains via the supplied adapter. It must be plugged in during use.

What to do if the device does not turn on?

Check that the adapter is correctly plugged into the device and into a live outlet. In the bathroom, turn on the light to activate the outlet. If the problem persists, contact Philips consumer service.

Is epilation painful?

During the first uses, slight irritation or redness is normal. Use the massage head to reduce discomfort. The discomfort decreases over time and hairs grow back finer.

When to use the exfoliating glove?

Use the exfoliating glove in the shower, but not immediately before or after epilation. Regular massage helps prevent ingrown hairs.

How to achieve effective epilation of underarms and bikini line?

Attach the massage head, then the special sensitive areas adapter. Select speed II. Stretch the skin and slowly move the device against the direction of growth. Make sure the hairs do not exceed 1 cm.

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.

Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.

Danger

• Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.
• Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin or bath filled with water.
• Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the shower.
• If you use the appliance in the bathroom, do not use an extension cord.

Warning

• Check if the mains voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
• Only use the appliance in combination with the adapter supplied.
• Do not use the appliance if the adapter or the appliance itself 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.
• 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

• Only epilate the underarms and bikini line with the sensitive area cap attached.
• To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running appliance away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc.

• Do not use the appliance 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 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 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).

Using the peeling glove

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

Do not use the peeling glove immediately before or after epilation.

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work or does not work properly, first check the list below. If the problem is not mentioned in this list, the appliance probably has a defect. In that case we advise you to take the appliance to your dealer or to an authorised Philips service centre.

Problem	Cause	Solution
Poor epilating results.	You move the epilator in the wrong direction.	Move the appliance against the direction of hair growth, with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you move the appliance.
	You place the epilating head on the skin at the wrong angle.	Make sure that you place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
	You used a (depilatory) cream prior to epilation.	Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you start epilating.
		Make sure that the hairs to be removed have a length of at least 3mm to guarantee proper hair removal.
	The sensitive area cap is on the epilating head when you epilate your legs.	Do not use the sensitive area cap when you epilate your legs, as the cap reduces the number of active epilating discs. NB: Never use the epilator without the precision cap when you epilate your underarms or bikini line.
The appliance does not work.	The socket to which the appliance is connected is not live.	Make sure the socket is live. If you have connected the epilator to the socket in a bathroom cabinet, you may need to switch on the bathroom light to activate the socket.
