Preparing the appliance for use
The Ladyshave runs on two R6 AA 1.5 volt batteries.
We strongly advise you to use Philips LR6 PowerLife
batteries. They supply sufficient energy for approx. 40
minutes of shaving.
Batteries contain substances that may pollute the
environment.
Make sure your hands and the appliance are dry when
inserting the batteries.
1 Remove the cover of the battery holder (E) by
pulling it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 2).
2 Put the batteries in the battery holder (Fig. 3).
Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries are pointing
in the right direction.
3 Push the cover of the battery holder back onto the
appliance (‘click’).
To avoid damage due to battery leakage:
Note: Do not expose the Ladyshave to direct sunlight.
Note: Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher
than 35
c C.
Note: Remove the batteries if the appliance is not going to
be used for a month or more.
Note: Do not leave empty batteries in the appliance.
Using the appliance
The Ladyshave is suitable for:
- shaving the underarms;
- shaving the legs;
- shaving the bikini line.
On wet skin
You can use your Ladyshave on wet skin, e.g. while having
a bath or shower.
The best results are obtained if you lather your skin (with
soap or shaving cream) before you start shaving.
On dry skin
If you prefer to use the Ladyshave dry, make sure that
your skin is clean and completely dry.

Note: There is no difference between using the appliance on
wet skin and using it on dry skin.
Note: Do not apply alcohol based-lotions to the skin directly
before or after shaving. If you want, you can apply some
talcum powder.
Note: Avoid pressing the shaving head too hard onto the skin
as this will adversely affect shaving performance and may
cause some skin irritation.
Legs and bikini line
1 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the
hairs stand upright.
2 The angle between the skin and the ladyshave
should be 70 c to get the best results.
3 Move the Ladyshave slowly over the skin against
the direction of hair growth while pressing it
lightly (Fig. 4).
Underarms
1 When shaving the underarm area, place one arm
behind your head to stretch the skin (Fig. 5).
2 Move the Ladyshave slowly over the skin.
You can move the Ladyshave up and down or from the
left to right, depending on which movement you find
most pleasant.
Storage
1 Put the protection cap on your Ladyshave after use.
The protection cap prevents the shaving foil and two
trimmers from becoming damaged.
Cleaning the appliance
Clean the Ladyshave every time you have used it.
Do not use any corrosive detergents, scouring pads or
cloths, petrol, acetone etc. to clean the appliance.
Do not exert any pressure on the shaving foil to avoid
damage.
After each use
1 Switch the appliance off.
2 Rinse the appliance under the tap (Fig. 6).
Do not clean, rinse or immerse the Ladyshave in water
if the cover of the battery holder is not properly closed.
Do not use water that is hotter than shower temperature
to clean the appliance.
3 Rinse the hairs off the shaving head (Fig. 7).
4 Remove the shaving head (B) from the appliance to
clean the hair chamber and the shaving head (Fig. 8).
5 Rinse the hairs off the appliance (Fig. 9).
6 Put the shaving head back onto the appliance
(‘click’).
ATTENTION: The shaving head fits only in one
direction into the shaving head housing.
Maintenance and replacement
1 Lubricate the shaving foil with a drop of sewing
machine oil twice a year (Fig. 10).
If you use the Ladyshave twice a week or more, we advise
you to replace the shaving head every one to two years.
The shaving head may only be replaced with an
original Philips shaving head (type HP6122).
Environment

environment. Always remove the batteries before
discarding the appliance or handing it in at an
official collection point. Dispose of the batteries at
an official collection point for batteries.
Do not throw the appliance away with the normal
household waste at the end of its life, but hand
