Solution
The epilator is equipped with integrated overhead protection,
which prevents the epilator from becoming too hot. If the
overheat protection is activated, the appliance switches off
automatically. Then the speed lights and the charging light
flash red for 30 seconds. To reset the overheat protection,
let the epilator cool down and then switch it on again.
To avoid overheating of the epilator, do not press the epilator
too hard onto your skin.
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 epilator switches off
automatically. Then the speed lights flash red for 5 seconds.
Turn the epilating discs with your thumb until you can
remove whatever is blocking the epilating discs. Then switch
on the epilator again.
Slight skin irritation like red skin may occur. This is normal.
To avoid irritated skin, make sure the shaving head (with or
without trimming comb) is always in full contact with the skin
and that you gently move the appliance against the direction
of hair growth.
Do not apply too much pressure during shaving and
trimming, as this may cause skin irritation.
Check if the shaving head or the trimming comb is broken.
Always replace damaged or broken parts with original Philips
parts.
Replace the batteries or insert them correctly
(see chapter 'Using the precision epilator').
Insert new batteries (see chapter 'Using the precision
epilator'). Only use disposable non-rechargeable AA 1.5V
alkaline batteries.
