Philips! To fully benefit from the suppor t that Philips offers,

With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair 

quickly, easily and effectively. Its rotating discs catch even 

the shor test 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.

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, sensor y 

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and 

knowledge, unless they have been given super vision 

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a 

person responsible for their safety.

 -

Children should be super vised 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 injur y.

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 tr y 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 dr y when you 

star t epilating.

 -

Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dr y and free 

from grease. Do not use any cream before you star t 

epilating. 

 -

Epilation is easier and more comfor table 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 shor ter 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 exer ting 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 star t 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.

Note: Make sure the appliance is switched off and 

unplugged before you start to clean it. 

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or 

aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the

tap (Fig. 10).

 -

Note: Make sure the epilating head is completely dry before 

you place it back onto the appliance.
