Operating Instructions

Skin Preparation

Proper skin preparation is crucial for effective and comfortable epilation:

• Exfoliation: The day before epilation, gently exfoliate your body. This removes dead skin cells, revealing softer, more radiant skin and helping to reduce ingrown hairs.
• Clean Skin: For best results, epilate after taking a shower to ensure your skin is clean.
• Dry Skin: Always ensure your skin is completely dry after showering before beginning dry epilation.

Epilation Technique

Follow these steps for efficient hair removal:

1. Turn On: Switch on the epilator.
2. Glide Against Hair Growth: Gently glide the epilator over your skin in steady, slow movements, always moving against the direction of hair growth.
3. Maintain Contact: Ensure the epilator head is held straight for good skin contact.
4. Light Pressure: You do not need to use much pressure; the epilator is designed to do the work for you.
5. Stretch Skin: For sensitive areas or to ensure all hairs are captured and to reduce discomfort, gently stretch your skin a little.
6. Regular Epilation: Regular epilation helps reduce pain over time as hair grows in cycles, leading to fewer hairs growing back simultaneously.

Speed Settings

Your epilator features two speed settings:

• Speed 1: For extra gentle epilation, ideal for sensitive areas or first-time users.
• Speed 2: For extra efficient epilation, suitable for larger areas or when you need faster results.

Choose the speed that best suits your comfort level and the body part you are epilating.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Maintaining your epilator's cleanliness is essential for hygiene and optimal performance:

1. Clean After Each Use: Always clean the epilator head after each use to remove all hairs and debris.
2. Washable Head: Philips epilators are designed for quick and easy cleaning. Simply detach the epilation head and rinse it under running water.
3. Remove Hairs: While rinsing, roll the epilation head with your finger to ensure all hairs are thoroughly removed.
4. Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the epilation head completely before reattaching or storing.
5. Use Cleaning Brush: Use the included cleaning brush to remove any stubborn hairs or debris from the epilator head and body.
