Philips SatinSoft Depiladora - Manual (Page 2)

Note: You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to
the mains.
Epilating tips
- Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to
start epilating on wet skin, as water relaxes the skin
and makes epilation less painful and more gentle. The
appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the
shower or bathtub.
Tip: If you want you can use your common shower
gel or foam.
- Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after
taking a bath or shower.
- Dry: Make sure your skin is clean and free from
grease. Do not apply any cream to your skin before
you start to epilate.
- General: We advise you to epilate before you go
to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
- General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hairs have a 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.
Epilating
Note: If you are new to epilation, start epilating with the
double wavy massage attachment to minimise the pulling
sensation of epilation. This attachment is only intended for
epilating the legs.
Note: To epilate the underarms or bikini line, use the sensitive
area cap that reduces the number of active epilating discs.
1 Put the attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6).
2 Press the on/off button once to switch on the
appliance.
, The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is
the most efficient speed for epilating.
Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button
a second time. Speed I is suitable 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.
3 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the
hairs stand upright. Place the epilating head at an
angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/off button
pointing in the direction in which you are going to
move the appliance (Fig. 7).
- Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 8).
- Epilate your underarms as shown in the figure (Fig. 9).
4 Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the
direction of the hair growth while pressing it lightly.
5 Remove the attachment by pulling it off the
appliance (Fig. 10).
Tip: When epilating the underarms, use a small amount of
your common shower gel for better gliding.
Tip: To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising
cream immediately or a few hours after epilation. For the
underarms, use a gentle deodorant without alcohol.
Overheat protection
This function helps to prevent overheating of the
appliance.
Note: To avoid overheating of the epilator, do not press
the appliance too hard onto your skin. The epilator works
best when you move it over your skin without exerting any
pressure.
If the overheat protection is activated, the appliance
switches off automatically and the charging light flashes
red for 30 seconds.
To reset the overheat protection, let the appliance cool
down and then switch it on again.
Note: If the charging light starts to flash red again, the
appliance has not yet cooled down completely.
Overload protection
If you press the epilating head too hard onto your skin or
when the rotating discs of the epilating head get blocked
(for instance because a piece of clothing has got stuck
between the epilating discs), the appliance switches off
and the charging light flashes red for 5 seconds.
Turn the epilating discs with your thumb until you can
remove whatever is blocking the epilating discs.

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or
aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the
appliance.
