Philips HP6576-50 - Manual (Page 6)

How To Use Your Epilator
► Use this Epilator for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
► Make sure your skin is clean, free from grease
and creams. Do not apply any cream before
using. Hairs are easier to remove after a bath
or a shower, but your skin should be
completely dry before using your Epilator.
► Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair has the optimum length of
1/8 - 5/32in/3-4mm. If the hairs are longer,
use the shave, trim and style attachment with
the trimming comb to pretrim hairs to the
optimum length.
► Regular massages with an exfoliation glove or
loofah pad at least 2 days before epilating may
help prevent in-grown hairs.
k If you experience some skin irritation after
epilating, epilate in the evening as most skin
irritation disappears overnight. This effect will
gradually lessen with each use.
► After each use, you may want to apply a
nonalcohol based mild cream or body lotion
which will help reduce the possibility of skin
irritation. Be certain it does not contain alcohol
as it may cause discomfort.
Epilating the legs
I If you already have some experience with
epilation, simply use the epilating head with
the basic epilation cap.
► If you are new to epilation, start epilating with
the optimal performance cap.This cap ensures
optimal skin contact and its pivoting head
stretches the skin and prepares the hairs for
epilation.
► If your hairs lie flat on your skin, use the
active hairlifter with active massage.The active
hairlifter with active massage not only lifts up
the hairs but its active massaging roller also
minimizes the pulling sensation of epilation.
n Before first use, clean the epilating head.
See 'Cleaning' section.
B Press both sides of the basic epilation cap
(1) and pull it off the appliance (2) (Fig. 4).
NOTE: Remove the basic epilation cap before you
attach the optimal performance cap or the active
hairlifter with active massage.
H Put the desired attachment on the epilating
head (Fig. 5).
NOTF:The attachments will only fit onto the
appliance in one direction.
B Press the on/off button once to switch on
the Epilator.
► The Epilator starts running at Speed II and the
bottom speed setting indication II on the
Epilator lights up (Fig. 6).
Select Speed II (high speed) for larger surfaces
and thicker hair areas.
► If you want to use speed I, press the on/off
button a second time. The top speed setting
indication I lights up on the Epilator (Fig. 7).
Select Speed I for areas with little hair growth,
for hard-to-reach places and for areas with
bones close to the skin's surface, such as knees
and ankles.
► When you press the on/off button a third time,
the epilator switches off.
