Philips HP6409 manual Connecting the appliance, Epilating the legs

English

-Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start to epilate.

-We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.

-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:

1Shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer.

Afterwards you can immediately start with epilation.

2Shave the hairs completely.Then you can start to epilate after a few

days (minimum hair length 0.5mm necessary).

-As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may cause some skin discomfort the first few times you use the epilator.This

effect gradually diminishes when you use the appliance more often. Regrowth tends to be softer both in appearance and to the touch.

Connecting the appliance

1Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).

2Insert the adapter into the wall socket.

Epilating the legs

If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating with the pivoting massage attachment.This attachment relaxes the skin and eases the sensation of epilation.

If you are used to epilation, use the efficiency cap.The efficiency cap ensures maximum skin contact and allows you to epilate your legs more quickly and efficiently.

Only use the efficiency cap on your legs.

1Put the desired attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6).

2Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance.

-Select 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.

-Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair growth.
