-
Always check the device before you use it. Do not use the device or adapter
if it is damaged. Always replace a damaged part with one of the original
type.
-
If the device or adapter is broken or damaged, do not touch any inner part
to avoid electric shock.
-
Do not use the device if the UV filter of the light exit window and/or
attachment is broken, as safe operation cannot be guaranteed under these
circumstances.
-
Do not attempt to open or repair your device. Opening Philips Lumea may
expose you to dangerous electrical components and to pulsed light energy,
either of which may cause bodily and/or eye injury.
-
Always return the device to a service center authorized by Philips for
examination or repair. Repair by unqualified people could cause an
extremely hazardous situation for the user.
-
No modification of this equipment is allowed. Do not modify, override or cut
off any part of the device (e.g. adapter or the cord), as this causes a
hazardous situation.
-
Do not look at the flash while using the device. Use the device in a well-lit
room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes. While not necessary for
safety, you may wear sunglasses or goggles for your convenience if you find
the light uncomfortable or too bright.
-
Do not flash the same spot multiple times during a treatment. The surface of
the attachment should overlap the previous spot to make sure you flash the
complete skin area, but treating the same area multiple times does not
increase efficacy.
-
For hygienic reasons, the device should only be used by one person.
-
Do not use hair removal creams in the area (to be) treated with the device,
as chemicals may cause skin reactions.
-
Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the areas to be treated. This may cause
burns on your skin.
-
The device can be stored at a temperature between -25 °C and 70 °C. Use
the device at a temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C. The device will not
work properly outside of this temperature range. This may cause burns on
your skin.
-
Hair removal by intense pulsed light sources can cause increased hair growth
in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk
groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and
South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
-
If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after treatment, wait until it
disappears before applying any product to your skin. If you experience skin
irritation after applying a product to your skin, wash it off with water. If you
still get skin reactions, stop using the device and consult your doctor.
-
If shaving, epilating or waxing causes skin irritation, we advise you not to use
the device until the skin irritation has disappeared.
-
This device is not intended for use by persons 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 device by a
person responsible for their safety.
