Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to

Philips! To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers,

With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair

quickly, easily and effectively. Its rotating discs catch even

the shortest hairs (down to 0.5mm) and pull them out

by the root.

Efficiency cap (HP6402/HP6401 only)

Your epilator comes with an efficiency cap that ensures

ideal contact with the skin so that hairs are removed

effectively in one stroke.

Important

Danger

Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.

Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin

or bath filled with water (Fig. 2).

Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the

shower (Fig. 3).

If you use the appliance in the bathroom, do not use

an extension cord (Fig. 4).
Warning

Only use the appliance in combination with the

adapter supplied.

Do not use the appliance or the adapter if it 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

This appliance is only intended for removing women’s

body hair from the legs. Do not use it for any other

purpose.

To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running

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 first.

People with a reduced immune response or people

who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or

immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor

first.

Your skin may become a little red and irritated the

first 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.

Do not use the epilating head or efficiency cap

(HP6402/HP6401 only) if it is damaged or broken, as

this may cause injury.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards

regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled

properly and according to the instructions in this user

manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific

evidence available today.

Using the appliance

Note: Clean the epilating head before first use.

Epilation tips
When you use the appliance for the first 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 shave first and

epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2

weeks.

When you epilate for the first 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.

To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a

moisturising cream after epilation.

Fine hair that regrows might not grow up to the

skin surface. The regular use of an exfoliating sponge

or cream (e.g. during showering) helps to prevent

ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing action

removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get

through to the skin surface.
Connecting the appliance

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

Insert the adapter into the wall socket.

Epilating the legs

We advise you to start epilating with the efficiency cap

(HP6402/HP6401 only).

If you already have some experience with epilation, you

can simply use the epilating head without any attachment.

HP6402/HP6401 only: Put the efficiency cap on the

epilating head (Fig. 6).

Select the desired speed to switch on the

appliance (Fig. 7).

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.

Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the

hairs stand upright.

Place the epilator perpendicularly onto the skin

with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in

which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 8).

Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the

direction of hair growth. (Fig. 9)

Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.

Cleaning and maintenance

Note: Make sure the appliance is switched off and

unplugged before you start to clean it.
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or

aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the

appliance.

Never rinse the appliance or the adapter under the

tap (Fig. 10).

Keep the appliance and the adapter dry (Fig. 11).
Cleaning the appliance

Push the epilating head in the direction of the

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

it (2) (Fig. 12).

Rinse the epilating head under the tap for 5-10

seconds while turning it.

Shake the epilating head firmly (Fig. 13).

Dry the epilating head thoroughly with a tea towel.

Note: Make sure the epilating head is completely dry before

you place it back onto the appliance.

Cleaning the efficiency cap (HP6402/HP6401

only)

Remove the efficiency cap from the epilating

head (Fig. 14).

Rinse the efficiency cap under the tap while turning

it.

Dry the efficiency cap before you use or store it.

Note: Make sure the efficiency cap is completely dry before

you place it back onto the epilating head.
