Guarantee & service

If you need information or if you have a problem, please 

visit the Philips website at www.philips.com or contact the 

Philips Customer Care Centre in your country (you find 

its phone number in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). 

If there is no Customer Care Centre in your country, 

go to your local Philips dealer or contact the Service 

Department of Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal 

Care BV.

If the appliance does not work or does not work 

properly, first check the list below. If the problem is not

In that case we advise you to take the appliance to your 

dealer or to an authorised Philips service centre.

Problem

Cause

Solution

Poor 

epilating 

results.

You move 

the epilator in 

the wrong 

direction.

Move the appliance 

against the direction 

of hair growth, with 

the on/off slide 

pointing in the 

direction in which you 

move the appliance.

Problem

Cause

Solution

You place 

the epilating 

head on the 

skin at the 

wrong angle.

Make sure that you 

place the appliance 

perpendicularly onto 

the skin (see chapter 

‘Using the appliance’).

You used a 

(depilatory) 

cream prior to 

epilation.

Make sure your skin 

is clean, entirely dry 

and free from grease. 

Do not use any cream 

before you start 

epilating.

Make sure that the 

hairs to be removed 

have a length of 

at least 3mm to 

guarantee proper hair 

removal.

The 

sensitive area 

cap is on the 

epilating head 

when you 

epilate your 

legs.

Do not use the 

sensitive area cap 

when you epilate 

your legs, as the cap 

reduces the number 

of active epilating 

discs. NB: Never use 

the epilator without 

the precision cap 

when you epilate your 

underarms or bikini 

line.

The 

appliance 

does not 

work.

The socket 

to which the 

appliance is 

connected is 

not live.

Make sure the 

socket is live. If you 

have connected 

the epilator to the 

socket in a bathroom 

cabinet, you may 

need to switch on 

the bathroom light to 

activate the socket.
