Philips Epilator HP6521/01 HP6521/01 Manuel D’Utilisation

 - Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to 

start epilating on wet skin, as water relaxes the skin 

and makes epilation less painful and more gentle. The 

appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the 

shower or bathtub. 

 - Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after 

taking a bath or shower. 

 - Dry: Make sure your skin is clean and free from 

grease. Do not apply any cream to your skin before 

you start to epilate. 

 - General: We advise you to epilate before you go 

to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears 

overnight. 

 - General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable 

when the hairs have a 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. 
Epilating

 1 

 Put the attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6).

 2 

 Press the on/off button once to switch on the 

appliance.

 

, The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is 

the most efficient speed for epilating.

 3 

 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the 

hairs stand upright. Place the epilating head at an 

angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/off button 

pointing in the direction in which you are going to 

move the appliance (Fig. 7).

 - Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 8).

 - Epilate your underarms as shown in the figure (Fig. 9).

 4 

 Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the 

direction of the hair growth while pressing it lightly.

 5 

 Remove the attachment by pulling it off the 

appliance (Fig. 10).

This function helps to prevent overheating of the 

appliance.

If the overheat protection is activated, the appliance 

switches off automatically and the charging light flashes 

red for 30 seconds.

To reset the overheat protection, let the appliance cool 

down and then switch it on again. 

If you press the epilating head too hard onto your skin or 

when the rotating discs of the epilating head get blocked 

(for instance because a piece of clothing has got stuck 

between the epilating discs), the appliance switches off 

and the charging light flashes red for 5 seconds.

Turn the epilating discs with your thumb until you can 

remove whatever is blocking the epilating discs. 

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or 

aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the 

appliance.
Always keep the adapter dry. Never rinse it under the 

tap or immerse it in water.

 - If necessary, clean the adapter with the cleaning 

brush or a dry cloth. 

 - After each wet use, clean the appliance thoroughly 

with water to ensure optimum performance.
