USER MANUAL Satinelle Epilator HP6481 PHILIPS

Introduction Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips. com/welcome. With your new Satinelle ICE you can remove unwanted hairs quickly, easily and effectively. The combination of the ceramic epilating system, the cooling glove and the massaging system constitutes a revolution in epilation. Thanks to the natural numbing effect of ice and massaging, the Satinelle ICE 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 is suitable for all body parts. Type HP6482 comes with a sensitive area cap. Type HP6483 comes with a sensitive area cap and a shaving head. 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.

Danger Keep the appliance and the adapter dry. Warning 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. 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 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 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 rst. People with a reduced immune response, or people who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or immunodeciency should also consult their doctor rst.

ENGLISH 7Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst few times you use the epilator. This phenomenon is 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 or the trimmers are damaged, as this may cause injury. Electromagnetic elds 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 scientic evidence available today. Preparing for use Freezing the ice gel pad Read these instructions carefully before you use the cooling glove (Fig. 2). Keep the ice gel pad out of the reach of children (Fig. 3). Do not use a damaged ice gel pad (Fig. 4). Do not use the ice gel pad if you are hypersensitive to cold. 1 Put the ice gel pad without the cooling glove in the freezer or freezing compartment (***) at least 2 hours before you start to epilate. (Fig. 5) Make sure the outside of the ice gel pad is completely dry before you freeze it. Tip: You can store the ice gel pad in the freezer permanently.

ENGLISH8Using 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 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. This helps you get accustomed to the epilation process. 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). Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst few times you use the epilator. This phenomenon is 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 cooling glove Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you start epilating. 1 Insert the small plug into the bottom of the appliance and put the adapter in the wall socket. 2 Put the ice gel pad in the compartment of the cooling glove with the transparent cover (Fig. 6). Only use the ice gel pad in combination with the cooling glove. 3 Push your hand into the cooling glove and start cooling the area you want to epilate (Fig. 7).

ENGLISH 9Do not leave the cooling glove on the same area for more than 2 minutes. 4 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (Fig. 8). Select speed 1 for areas with little hair growth and for areas where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles. Select speed 2 for larger areas with stronger hair growth. 5 Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright. 6 For optimal results, place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the on/off slide pointing forward. Move the appliance against the direction of hair growth at a moderate speed (Fig. 9). Make sure both the epilating discs and the massaging element are in proper contact with the skin. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating. 7 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. Epilating without cooling glove If you do not want to use the cooling glove, for instance because you have grown accustomed to the sensation of epilation, you can also use the appliance without the cooling glove. 1 For optimal results, place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the on/off slide pointing forward. Then move the appliance against the direction of hair growth at a moderate speed (Fig. 9). Epilating with the sensitive area cap (HP6483/HP6482) Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that reduces the number of active epilating discs. This makes the appliance suitable for epilating the more delicate areas of the body, such as the underarms and bikini line. 1 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 10). The sensitive area cap only ts onto the appliance in one way.

ENGLISH102 Switch on the appliance. (Fig. 11) We advise you to use speed 2. 3 Stretch the skin with your free hand. 4 For optimal results, place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the on/off slide pointing forward. Move the appliance against the direction of hair growth at a moderate speed. Epilate your bikini line as shown in the gure (Fig. 12). Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure (Fig. 13). 5 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. Shaving (HP6483 only) You can use the shaving head to shave sensitive body parts, such as your underarms and bikini line.

Press the release button (1) and pull the epilating head off the appliance (2). 3 Place the shaving head on the appliance and press it onto the appliance until it snaps home (‘click’) (Fig. 15). 4 Switch on the appliance by selecting speed 2. 5 Place the shaving head perpendicularly onto your skin and move the appliance slowly and smoothly against the direction of hair growth. Press the appliance lightly (Fig. 16). 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.
