With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair
quickly, easily and effectively. 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. The
ideal combination of epilator, exfoliation glove and cooling
glove makes epilation more comfortable and leaves your
skin smooth, fresh and hair-free for several weeks.

- 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.

Caution
-
This appliance is only intended for removing women's
body hair on areas below the neck: underarms, bikini
area and legs. Do not use it for any other purpose.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the
appliance (with or without attachment) 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 irst.
People with a reduced immune response or people
who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or
immunodeiciency should also consult their doctor
irst.
-
Your skin may become a little red and irritated the
irst 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
2
has not disappeared within three days, we advise you
to consult a doctor.
- Do not use the epilating head, the shaving head, the
hair-lifting attachment or the shaving comb if it is
damaged or broken, as this may cause injury.

Electromagnetic ields (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards
regarding electromagnetic ields (EMF). If handled
properly and according to the instructions in this user
manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientiic
evidence available today.
Epilation tips
- When you use the appliance for the irst time, we
advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair
growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.
-
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower.
Make sure your skin is completely dry when you
start epilating.
- Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before you start
epilating.
-
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If the hairs
are longer, we recommend that you either shave irst
and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or
2 weeks or that you use the shaving head with the
shaving head comb attachment to pretrim hairs to
this ideal length.
- When you epilate for the irst time, we advise you to
epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that
develops can disappear overnight.
-
While epilating stretch your skin with your free hand.
This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimise the
pulling sensation.
- For optimal performance, place the appliance on
the skin at right angles (90°) with the on/off slide
pointing in the direction in which you are going to
move the appliance. Guide the appliance across the
skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow,
continuous movement without exerting any pressure.
- On some areas, hair may grow in different directions.
In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance
in different directions to achieve optimal results.
- When you use the hair-lifting attachment with
massage element, make sure that the massage
element and the comb of the hair-lifting attachment
always stay in contact with the skin.
Preparing for use
Freezing the ice gel pad
Keep the ice gel pad out of the reach of children (Fig. 5).
Do not use a damaged ice gel pad (Fig. 6).
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. 7).
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.
Using the appliance
Note: Clean the epilating head before irst use.
Connecting the appliance
running
1 Insert the small plug into the appliance (Fig. 8).
2 Insert the adapter into the wall socket.
Epilating the legs with the cooling glove
Use the cooling glove immediately after epilation to
soothe and relax your skin.
1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated. Remove
any residues of oil, cream etc. Then dab the area
dry.
2 Put the ice gel pad in the compartment of the
cooling glove and close the Velcro fastener (Fig. 9).
Only use the ice gel pad in combination with the cooling
glove.
3 Select the desired speed to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 10).
Preferably use speed II. Switch to 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.
4 For optimal results, place the epilator at a 90°
angle onto the skin with the on/off slide pointing
in the direction in which you are going to move
the appliance. Stretch your skin with your free
hand (Fig. 11).
5 After you have epilated a certain area or after each
stroke with the epilator, push your hand into the
cooling glove and start cooling the area (Fig. 12).
Do not leave the cooling glove on the same area for
more than 2 minutes.
Epilating with the hair-lifting attachment
with massage element
Use the hair-lifting attachment with massage element
when you are new to epilation. This attachment ensures
optimal hair lifting, relaxes the skin and minimises the
pulling sensation of epilation.
Note: You get the best results and epilating is most
comfortable when the hairs are not too long (3-4mm). If the
hairs are longer, trim them to this length with the shaving
head with comb attachment (see section 'Pretrimming
with the shaving head and comb attachment before
epilation' in this chapter).
1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated. Remove
any residues of oil, cream etc. Then dab the skin dry.
2 Put the hair-lifting attachment with massage
element on the epilating head (Fig. 13).
3 Follow steps 3 to 6 in the section 'Epilating with
the cooling glove' above.
Shaving the underarms and bikini line
Use the shaving head to shave sensitive areas such as the
bikini line.
Note: The shaving head can only be used at speed setting I.
1 Push the epilating head in the direction of the
arrows on the back of the appliance (1) and remove
it from the appliance (2) (Fig. 14).
2 Put the shaving head on the appliance (1) and push
it against the direction of the arrows on the back of
the appliance (2) to ix it. (Fig. 15)
3 Switch on the appliance. (Fig. 16)
Note: Speed II does not work when the shaving head is
attached.
4 Stretch the skin with your free hand. When shaving
the underarms, raise your arm to stretch the skin.
5 Place the appliance at a 90° angle onto your skin,
with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in
which you are going to move the appliance.
6 Move the appliance against the direction of hair
growth. (Fig. 17)
Note: Make sure that the shaving foil with integrated
trimmer is always fully in contact with the skin.
- Shave your bikini line as shown in the igure. (Fig. 18)
- Shave your underarms as shown in the igure. Move
the appliance in different directions. (Fig. 19)
When you have inished shaving, switch off the

appliance and clean the shaving head (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
8 Put the protection cap on the shaving head when
you store the appliance.
Pretrimming with the shaving head and
comb attachment before epilation

bikini line to a hair length of 4mm. You can also use the
trimming comb to pretrim long hairs (longer than 10mm).
Note: The shaving head can only be used at speed setting I.

arrows on the back of the appliance (1) and remove
