Philips HP6404/11 User Manual page 7

Hairs are easier to epilate after a bath or a shower, but
your skin should be completely dry while epilating.
• If you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you
to start at a place with comparatively little hair growth so
that you may get accustomed to epilating.
• As the hairs are removed by the root, your skin may feel a
little discomfort after epilating with Satinelle for the first time.
But this effect will gradually lessen with each use.
Re-growth tends to be softer both in appearance and
touch.
• After use, you could apply a mild cream or body milk,
which will help reduce possible skin irritation after
epilation. It makes the skin feel smoother and gives you a
fresh feeling. Do not use lotions which contain alcohol.
- Insert the small plug into the Satinelle (fig. 2). Ensure that
the plug is pushed fully home.
- Insert the mains plug into the wall socket.
- Switch the Satinelle on.
• Speed selection (Types HP 2841 and HP 6404 only:)
For areas where the hairs are thinner, for hard-to-reach
places and for areas with bones under the skin (such as
knees and ankles), select speed I (normal speed) (fig. 3).
For larger surfaces and thicker hairs, select speed II (high
speed) (fig. 4).
- Pull the skin taut with your free hand to make the hairs
stand up (fig. 5). Tautening the skin properly is particularly
important if you have sensitive or delicate skin.
- Place the Satinelle in a straight angle on the skin, with the
On/Off switch pointing in the direction in which you wish
to move the appliance (fig. 6).
