Philips Satinelle Sensitive HP6416 User Manual page 3

CAUTION: Methods of removing hair by the root
can cause ingrown hairs and minor skin injuries. Please
consult your doctor if you have any questions about
the use of the appliance.
Do not use the epilating head if you suffer from varicose
veins, spots, moles or blemishes, or when the skin is
irritated, or if you have in-grown hairs or the tendency
towards producing in-grown hairs. Consult your doctor first.
Use of the Satinelle Sensitive Epilator may cause
reddening or irritation of the skin.This is a normal
reaction which should quickly disappear. However, if
irritation remains for more than three days, consult
your doctor.
Any minor injury resulting from hair removal
may allow bacteria to penetrate the injury site
potentially causing small scars or a change in
pigmentation of the skin.The risk of infection
may be minimized by thoroughly cleaning the
rotating discs before and/or after each use
(see Maintenance section).
The epilator head should only be used after prior
consultation with your doctor if you have or experience:
• Open wounds
• Eczema, psoriasis (scaly eczema), inflamed skin
reactions such as folliculitis, skin rashes or the
tendency to allergy or allergic skin reactions
• Body acne
• Immune deficiency or disorders
• Couperose, rosacea, or varicose veins
• Pregnancy
• Reduced skin immunity as a result of
diabetes, pregnancy, Raynaud's disease, etc.
• Hemophilia
• If you have moles, raised skin bumps, etc.
If you have been or begin taking hormone medication, or
have recently been pregnant, a change in your hormone
levels may influence the thickness, color or amount of
hair growth.This is caused by the hormonal changes,
not by this method of hair removal.
When removing hair using the epilator head
from the area behind knees, be sure to keep skin
stretched tightly to prevent pinching of the
skin by the rotating discs.
When using the epilator for the first time, you may feel
some discomfort, irritation or experience reddening of
the skin.This is because the hairs are actually removed
at the root. The discomfort you feel will tend to lessen
with successive uses.You may wish to remove hair in the
evening so if any reddening occurs it will diminish overnight.
Use only the cord provided.
Clean appliance regularly following
MAINTENANCE instructions.
