Satinelle Ice Premium HP6517 - Epilator PHILIPS - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL Satinelle Ice Premium HP6517 PHILIPS

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 Satinelle ICE PREMIUM is suitable for all body parts and comes with a sensitive area cap that has been specially developed for epilating sensitive areas (underarms, bikini line). 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.

ENGLISH 7Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst 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. Always check the shaving head before you use the appliance. Do not use the shaving head if the foil is damaged, as this may cause injury. Do not use the peeling glove immediately before or after epilation.

Charging You can run the appliance directly from the mains or you can use it without the cord when the batteries have been charged. Charge the batteries at least 16 hours before you use the appliance for a cordless operating time of up to 20 minutes. Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours. 1 Make sure the appliance is switched off while charging.

ENGLISH82 Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put the adapter in the wall socket. The charging light goes on and stays on to indicate that the appliance is charging. The charging light does not go out or change colour when the appliance is fully charged. Optimising the lifetime of the batteries After you have charged the appliance for the rst time, do not recharge it between epilating or shaving sessions. Continue to use it and only recharge it when the battery is (almost) empty. Discharge the batteries completely twice a year by letting the motor run until it stops. Do not keep the appliance plugged into a wall socket all the time. If the appliance has not been used for a long time, it must be recharged for 16 hours. Preparing for use Freezing the leg 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 uid 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.

ENGLISH 9When you use the appliance for the rst 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 rst 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. Corded use You can also use the appliance from the mains. However, to avoid damage to the batteries, only use the appliance from the mains when the batteries are empty. 1 To run the appliance from the mains when the batteries are empty, switch off the appliance and connect it to the mains. Wait a few seconds before you switch on the appliance. Epilating with the leg skin cooler Only use the leg skin cooler to epilate your legs. 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)

ENGLISH10The 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 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. 4 Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright. 5 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 satised with the epilation result, try moving the epilator more slowly over your skin. 6 Use the tab on the bottom end of the appliance to remove the appliance from the skin cooler (Fig. 7). Epilating without the leg 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.

ENGLISH 11Epilating 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). Do not use the leg skin cooler to epilate your underarms and bikini line. 1 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 8). The sensitive area cap can only be tted 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. 5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of the hair growth. Epilate your bikini line as shown in the gure (Fig. 9). Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure (Fig. 10). 6 For a cool sensation, you can dab the area you have just epilated with a cloth soaked in cold water. 7 Remove the sensitive area cap from the epilator after use (Fig. 11). Shaving 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. 1 Make sure the appliance is switched off. 2 Remove the skin cooler (Fig. 7).
