Using The Appliance - Philips HP6511 Mode D'emploi

The charging light does not go out or change colour when the
appliance is fully charged.
Optimising the lifetime of the batteries
- After you have charged the appliance for the first time, do not
recharge it between epilating or shaving sessions. Continue to use it
and only recharge it when the battery is (almost) empty.
- Discharge the batteries completely twice a year by letting the motor
run until it stops.
- Do not keep the appliance plugged into a wall socket all the time.
- If the appliance has not been used for a long time, it must be
recharged for 16 hours.

Using the appliance

general information about epilation
- Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is
completely dry when you start to epilate.
- When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try it
out on an area with only light hair growth. This helps you get
accustomed to the epilation process.
- For optimal epilating results, the hairs should not be longer than
10 millimetres (Fig. 2).
- To epilate longer hairs, follow one of two procedures below: (Fig. 2)
1 shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer. In
this case, you can start to epilate right away.
2 shave the hairs completely. In this case you can start to epilate after a
few days (the hairs must be at least 0.5mm long).
- 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.
- We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows
any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
