Environment
- Do not throw away the epilator and precision epilator with the
normal household waste at the end of their life, but hand them in
at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to
preserve the environment (Fig. 4).
Epilator
- The built-in rechargeable batteries of the epilator contain substances
that may pollute the environment. Always remove the batteries
before you discard and hand in the epilator at an official collection
point. Dispose of the batteries at an official collection point for
batteries. If you have trouble removing the batteries, you can also
take the appliance to a Philips service centre (Fig. 5).
Removing the rechargeable batteries
1 Disconnect the epilator from the adapter. Let the epilator operate
until the batteries are completely empty and you can no longer
switch on the epilator.
2 Remove the epilating head and open the appliance with a
screwdriver (Fig. 6).
3 Use a screwdriver to disconnect the battery holder (1) and the
batteries (2) (Fig. 7).
Do not try to reassemble the appliance in order to connect it to the
mains. This is dangerous.
Precision epilator and Smart Tweezers
- Non-rechargeable batteries contain substances that may pollute the
environment. Do not throw away non-rechargeable batteries with the
normal household waste, but dispose of them at an official collection
point for batteries. Always remove the non-rechargeable batteries
before you discard and hand in the appliance at an official collection
point (precision epilator) or dispose of it with the normal household
waste (Smart Tweezers) (Fig. 5).
