With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair
quickly, easily and effectively. Its rotating discs catch even
the shortest hairs (down to 0.5mm) and pull them out
by the root.
Efficiency cap (HP6402, HP6401 only)
Your epilator comes with an efficiency cap that ensures
ideal contact with the skin so that hairs are removed
effectively in one stroke.

Important
Read this user manual carefully before you use the
appliance and save it for future reference.
Danger
-
Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.
-
Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin
or bath filled with water (Fig. 2).
-
Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the
shower (Fig. 3).
-
If you use the appliance in the bathroom, do not use
an extension cord (Fig. 4).
Warning
-
Only use the appliance in combination with the
adapter supplied.
-
Do not use the appliance or the adapter if it is
damaged.
-
If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced
with one of the original type in order to avoid a
hazard.
-
The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut
off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as
this causes a hazardous situation.
-
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) 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 appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
-
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Caution
-
This appliance is only intended for removing women's
body hair from the legs. Do not use it for any other
purpose.
To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running
-
appliance (with or without attachment) away
from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads,
cords, brushes etc.
-
Do not use the appliance on irritated skin or skin
with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs)
or wounds without consulting your doctor first.
People with a reduced immune response or people
who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or
immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor
first.
-
Your skin may become a little red and irritated the
first few times you use the epilator. This phenomenon
is absolutely normal and quickly disappears. As
you use the appliance more often, your skin gets
used to epilation, skin irritation decreases and
regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If the irritation
has not disappeared within three days, we advise you
to consult a doctor.
-
Do not use the epilating head or efficiency cap
(HP6402, HP6401 only) if it is damaged or broken, as
this may cause injury.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards
regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled
properly and according to the instructions in this user
manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific
evidence available today.
Using the appliance
Note: Clean the epilating head before first use.
Epilation tips
-
When you use the appliance for the first time, we
advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair
growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.
-
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower.
Make sure your skin is completely dry when you
start epilating.
-
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before you start
epilating.
-
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If the hairs
are longer, we recommend that you shave first and
epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2
weeks.
-
When you epilate for the first time, we advise you to
epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that
develops can disappear overnight.
-
While epilating stretch your skin with your free hand.
This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimise the
pulling sensation.
-
For optimal performance, place the appliance on
the skin at right angles (90°) with the on/off slide
pointing in the direction in which you are going to
move the appliance. Guide the appliance across the
skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow,
continuous movement without exerting any pressure.
-
On some areas, hair may grow in different directions.
In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance
in different directions to achieve optimal results.
-
To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a
moisturising cream after epilation.
-
Fine hair that regrows might not grow up to the
skin surface. The regular use of an exfoliating sponge
or cream (e.g. during showering) helps to prevent
ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing action
removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get
through to the skin surface.
Connecting the appliance
1
Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).
2
Insert the adapter into the wall socket.
Epilating the legs
We advise you to start epilating with the efficiency cap
(HP6402, HP6401 only).
If you already have some experience with epilation, you
can simply use the epilating head without any attachment.
1
HP6402, HP6401 only: Put the efficiency cap on the
epilating head (Fig. 6).
2
Select the desired speed to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 7).
Preferably use speed II. Switch to 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.
3
Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the
hairs stand upright.
4
Place the epilator perpendicularly onto the skin
with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in
which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 8).
5
Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the
direction of hair growth. (Fig. 9)
Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.

unplugged before you start to clean it.
