If there are hairs on the area to be
treated, these hairs may get burnt when
you use the appliance. As a result, you
notice a strange smell. Shave the area to
be treated properly before you use the
appliance. If shaving causes skin
irritation, trim hairs as short as possible
and use a comfortable setting.
The strange smell disappears after a few
flashes.
Check if you have selected the right light
intensity. If necessary, select a lower
light intensity.
Shave the areas to be treated before you
use the appliance. If shaving causes skin

and use a comfortable setting.

is broken, do not use the appliance
anymore. Contact the Consumer Care
Centre in your country, your Philips
