Introduction

With your new Satinelle ICE PREMIUM you can remove unwanted hairs quickly, easily and effectively. The combination of the ceramic epilating system with the contour-following skin cooler and the new sonic massaging system constitutes a revolution in epilation. Thanks to the natural numbing effect of ice and massaging, the new Satinelle ICE PREMIUM makes epilation more comfortable and less painful than ever. The result is a silky-smooth skin and a hair growth reduction of up to 50%, assuming you use the appliance regularly (every 4 weeks). The rapidly rotating epilating discs catch even the shortest hairs (down to 0.5 millimetre!) and pull them out by the roots. As a result, your skin stays smooth for up to four weeks and regrowth is soft and downy.

Important

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

Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter 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.
Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
Do not expose the appliance to temperatures lower than 5^ C or higher than 35^ C.
To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running appliance away from your scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc.
Do not use the epilating head 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, Raynaud's disease or immunodeficiency should contact their doctor first.
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.

Electromagnetic fields

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.

Preparing for use

Freezing the skin cooler

1 Put the skin cooler WITHOUT the insulating sleeve in the freezer or freezing compartment ( ^*** ) at least 4 hours before you start to epilate. When the fluid has turned completely blue, the skin cooler is ready for use.

Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is completely dry before you freeze it.

Tip: You can store the skin cooler in the freezer permanently.

Using the appliance

General information about epilation

Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start to epilate.
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.
For optimal epilating results, the hairs should not be longer than 10 millimetres (Fig. 2)
To epilate longer hairs: (Fig. 2)
- shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer. In this case, you can start to epilate right away.
- shave the hairs completely. In this case you can start to epilate after a few days (the hairs must be at least 0.5mm long).
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.
We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.

Epilating with the skin cooler

Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you start to epilate.

1 Slide the insulating sleeve onto the skin cooler. (Fig. 3)

The insulating sleeve prevents an unpleasant sensation of coldness in your hand while you use the appliance. It also keeps the skin cooler cold as long as possible.

Sometimes the pivoting cooling head freezes onto the skin cooler and does not move when you take the skin cooler from the freezer. The pivoting cooling head starts to pivot again after you have passed it over your leg a few times.

2 Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (Fig. 4).
3 Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put the adapter in the wall socket.
4 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (Fig. 5).

Select speed I for areas with little hair growth 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.

5 Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.
6 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the epilating head pointing forward. Move the appliance against the direction of hair growth at a moderate speed. (Fig. 6)

Make sure both the epilating discs and the skin cooler are in proper contact with the skin.

Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.

If you are not completely satisfied with the epilation result, try moving the epilator more slowly over your skin.
7 Use the tab on the bottom end of the appliance to remove the appliance from the skin cooler (Fig. 7).

Epilating without skin cooler

If you do not want to use the skin cooler, for instance because you have grown accustomed to the sensation of epilation, you can also use the appliance without the skin cooler.
Make sure that you place the epilator perpendicularly onto your skin and that you move it against the direction of hair growth.

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 sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 8).
The sensitive area cap can only be fitted onto the appliance in one way.
2 Switch on the appliance by selecting the desired speed. (Fig. 5)
We advise you to use speed II.

3 Stretch the skin with your free hand.

4 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. 6).

5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of the hair growth (Fig. 6).

• Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 9).
• Epilate your underarms as shown in the figure (Fig. 10).
• For a cool sensation, you can dab the area you have just epilated with a cloth soaked in cold water.

6 Remove the sensitive area cap from the epilator after use (Fig. 11).

Using the exfoliating body puff

Use the exfoliating body puff in the shower.

Regular massages with the puff may help to prevent ingrown hairs. Do not use the puff immediately before or after epilation.

Shaving (HP6502 only)

You can use the shaving head to shave sensitive body parts, such as your underarms and bikini line. With the shaving head, you obtain a smooth result in a comfortable and gentle way.

2 Remove the skin cooler (Fig. 7).
3 Remove epilating head (Fig. 12).
Press the release button (1) and move the epilating head in the direction of the arrow (2).
4 Place the shaving head on the appliance and press it onto the appliance until it snaps home ('click') (Fig. 13).
5 Switch on the appliance by selecting speed II.
