To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome. This Philips SatinPerfect epilator is produced in Europe according to the highest engineering standards and has been designed around the needs of today's women. Worldwide many women are involved in our development and production processes. They give us feedback on our concepts and products to give you the best quality possible. Your new SatinPerfect epilator gives you the best performance in the removal of unwanted body hair, providing you with perfect and long-lasting smoothness in a pleasant way. The epilator has a premium design and ingenious features. The epilating head covers a maximum area of the skin and its tweezers are made of ceramic material, which ensures a proper grip on even the finest hairs for easy hair removal. Hairs are removed by the root and grow back thinner and less visible. The SatinPerfect is ergonomically shaped. It is subtly curved to ensure that the epilator follows every contour of your body. Its speed control maintains the ideal epilation speed for perfect results, no matter how hard or soft you push. The Opti-light helps you to target and remove even the trickiest hairs so that you do not miss a hair. The active hairlifter on the front of the active hairlifter with active massage gently vibrates and lifts flat-lying hairs so that they can be easily removed. The active massaging roller on the back of the active hairlifter with active massage vibrates to give the skin a pleasant sensation that soothes the effect of epilation. The optimal performance cap that pivots to follow your body contours for optimal skin contact gives you optimal performance in hair removal and perfect, long-lasting smooth legs. The skin stretcher of the optimal performance cap stretches the skin gently so that even the shortest hairs can be removed. general description (Fig. 1) a B C D E F g H i J K l M n O P Q Epilator Speed setting indications On/off button Press once for speed II Press twice for speed I Opti-light Epilating head Release button Basic epilation cap Sensitive area shaving head (HP6572 only) Trimming comb (HP6572 only) Optimal performance cap Skin stretcher Active hairlifter with active massage Active massaging roller Active hairlifter Cleaning brush Adapter Luxury pouch (not shown) important Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference. Danger Keep the appliance and the adapter dry. 4203.000.4532.1.indd 6 08-12-09 12:31 EnglisH 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 epilator in the bathroom, do not use an extension cord (Fig. 4). 7 - Warning Only use the epilator with the adapter supplied. Do not use the appliance, an attachment or the adapter if it is damaged or broken to avoid injuries. 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. Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance. 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 The epilator is only intended for removing women's body hair on areas below the neck by epilating (legs) and shaving (underarms and bikini area, HP6572 only). Do not use the epilator for any other purpose. For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only be used by one person. To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running epilator (with or without attachment) away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc. Do not use the epilator 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 epilator 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 look directly into the Opti-light to avoid being dazzled by the light. Do not use the epilating head of the epilator without attachment. Do not expose the epilator to temperatures lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C. - 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. Epilation tips Before you start epilating Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator before first use. - When you use the epilator 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. - We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears overnight. - Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating. 4203.000.4532.1.indd 7 08-12-09 12:31 8 - EnglisH 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 3­4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. You can also use the sensitive area shaving head with the trimming comb to pretrim hairs to this ideal length (HP6572 only). As your hair grows in different cycles, it is best to epilate a few days in a row when you start epilating. This will help you to remain stubble-free longer because your hairs will start regrowing in the same cycle and pace. The epilator is delivered with the basic epilation cap attached. If you want to use it with the optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter with active massage, detach the basic epilation cap by pulling it off the appliance and attach the optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter with active massage (see chapter `Using the epilator', section `Epilating the legs with the epilator'). During epilation 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 epilating head on the skin at an angle of 90° with the on/off button 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. If you sweat during epilation, dab your skin dry with a soft cloth. When you use the optimal performance cap, make sure that both rollers of the skin stretcher always stay in contact with the skin to ensure an optimal result. When you use the active hairlifter with active massage, make sure the active massaging roller and the active hairlifter always stay in contact with the skin. The massaging roller stimulates and relaxes the skin for a gentler epilation. after epilation To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately after epilation or a few hours after epilation, depending on what is better for your skin. Regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream (e.g. during showering) 24 hours after epilation 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. Using the epilator - - - - 1 Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put the adapter in the wall socket. Epilating the legs with the epilator If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use the epilating head with the basic epilation cap. If you are not used to epilation, we advise you to 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, we advise you to 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 minimises the pulling sensation of epilation. Note: Remove the basic epilation cap before you attach the optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter with active massage. 4203.000.4532.1.indd 8 08-12-09 12:31 EnglisH 1 Squeeze both sides of the basic epilation cap (1) and pull it off the appliance (2) (Fig. 5). 2 Put the desired attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6). Note:The procedure for placing the attachments onto the appliance is the same for all attachments. 3 Press the on/off button once to switch on the epilator. , The epilator starts running at speed II, which is the most efficient speed for epilation. The bottom speed setting indication II lights up (Fig. 7). , If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time. The top speed setting indication I lights up (Fig. 8). Tip: 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. , When you press the on/off button a third time, the epilator switches off. 4 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright. 9 5 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. 9). 6 Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of hair growth. When you use the optimal performance cap, make sure that both rollers of the skin stretcher always stay in contact with the skin to ensure an optimal result. - When you use the active hairlifter with active massage, make sure the active massaging roller and the active hairlifter always stay in contact with the skin. The massaging roller stimulates and relaxes the skin for a gentler epilation. shaving the underarms and bikini line (HP6572 only) Use the sensitive area shaving head to shave sensitive areas such as the underarms and the bikini line. 1 Press the release button (1) and remove the epilating head from the epilator (2) (Fig. 10).
