Electromagnetic elds (EMF)

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.

EnglisH 7Preparing 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.

Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin or bath lled

with water (Fig. 2).

Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the shower (Fig. 3).

Your epilator is equipped with a massage attachment that 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.
