Epilating The Legs - Philips HP6409/45 User Manual

- Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is
completely dry when you start to epilate.
- We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows
any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
- For optimal epilation results, the hairs should not be longer than
10mm. Use one of the following methods if the hairs are longer than
10mm:
1 Shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer.
Afterwards you can immediately start with epilation.
2 Shave the hairs completely. Then you can start to epilate after a few
days (minimum hair length 0.5mm necessary).
- As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may cause some skin
discomfort the first few times you use the epilator. This
effect gradually diminishes when you use the appliance more often.
Regrowth tends to be softer both in appearance and to the touch.
Connecting the appliance
1 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).
 Insert the adapter into the wall socket.

Epilating the legs

If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating with the
pivoting massage attachment. This attachment relaxes the skin and eases
the sensation of epilation.
If you are used to epilation, use the efficiency cap. The efficiency cap
ensures maximum skin contact and allows you to epilate your legs more
quickly and efficiently.
Only use the efficiency cap on your legs.
1 Put the desired attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6).
 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance.
- Select speed I 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.
- Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair growth.
