Philips HP6438/PB User manual
Introduction
C◗With your new Satinxice you can remove
unwanted hairs quickly,easily and effectively.
The combination of the proven epilating disc
system with the newly developed skin cooler
constitutes a revolution in epilation.Thanks to
the natural numbing effect of ice on the skin,
the new Satinxice makes epilation more
comfortable and less painful than ever.
◗The Satinxice is particularly suitable for the
legs.The rapidly rotating epilating discs catch
even the shortest hairs (0.5 millimetres!) and
pull them out by the roots.The hairs that
grow back are soft and downy.So no stubble!
Important
◗Check if the mains voltage indicated on the
appliance corresponds to your local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗Make sure the appliance does not come into
contact with water.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of

Epilation in general
After epilating with the Satinxice,your skin will
stay smooth and hair-free for weeks.As some
women may develop skin irritation and ingrown
hairs,we recommend that you read the text
below carefully.
- Do not use the appliance when the skin to be
epilated is irritated or when you have varicose
veins,pimples, moles (with hairs) or scratches
without consulting your doctor first.When you
have a reduced immune response,e.g.during
pregnancy or if you are suffering from diabetes
mellitus,haemophilia or immunodeficiency,you
might be more susceptible. If any problems
should occur, please contact your doctor as
well.
- Because the appliance pulls the hairs out by the
roots,the skin may be slightly sensitive or
become somewhat red and irritated.This
phenomenon is absolutely normal (especially
when you have just started using the appliance)
and will quickly disappear.As you use the
appliance more often,the skin irritation will
decrease.Moreover,the hairs that grow back
after epilation gradually become softer and
easier to remove. If,however, your skin irritation
has not disappeared within three days,you are
advised to consult your doctor.
- When you epilate for the first time,we advise
you to try the appliance out on an area with
relatively little hair growth. In this way you can
get accustomed to this epilating method.
ENGLISH 5
- Type HP6434/PB only:This appliance has been
extensively tested on the underarm and bikini-
line areas.Some women may develop skin
irritation when they use this appliance to
epilate these parts of their body for the first
time.We advise you to try the appliance out on
a small patch of skin first.
- Regular cleaning and proper maintenance are
essential to guarantee the best results and to
prolong the life of the appliance.
Tips
- Regular massages with a loofah (types
HP6433/PB, HP6434/PB,HP6435/PB only) may
help prevent ingrown hairs.When the skin
surface is carefully scrubbed with a loofah, fine
hairs will continue to grow without a problem.
Do not scrub immediately before or after
epilating.
- Applying a mild cream or body milk after
epilation will help to reduce any skin irritation
that may develop.
- Hairs are easier to remove after you have taken
a bath or a shower. Make sure your skin is
completely dry when you start to epilate.
- We advise you to epilate in the evening,as this
will allow any skin irritation that may develop to
disappear during the night.
