Introduction
.
With your new Philips ladyshave Softselect you can
quickly, easily and comfortably remove unwanted hair
from dry or wet skin.
This Philips ladyshave Softselect is equipped with an
adjustable shaving foil with three different zones for
shaving the underarms, bikini line and legs.
◗ You can use the ladyshave either dry or wet. If you
shave while taking a bath or shower, we advise you
to use soap or shaving foam for the most
comfortable shave. After use you can simply rinse
the ladyshave in the shower or under the tap. Make
sure the battery compartment is properly closed
during wet use and when cleaning the appliance.
◗ This Ladyshave can only be operated on batteries.

Preparing for use
.
The ladyshave runs on two R6 AA 1.5 volt batteries. We
strongly advise you to use Philips LR6 PowerLife batteries.
They supply sufficient energy for approx. 40 minutes of
shaving.
1
Pull the battery compartment downwards with
some force to remove it (fig. 2).
2
Put the batteries in the battery compartment
(fig. 3).
Make sure your hands and the appliance are dry when
inserting the batteries.
◗ Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries are
pointing in the right direction
3
Reattach the battery compartment to the appliance.
To avoid damage due to battery leakage:
-
Remove the batteries if the appliance is not going to
be used for a month or more.
-
Do not leave empty batteries in the appliance.
Using the appliance
.
Shaving
1
Set the softselect slide on the shaving head to the
position that corresponds to the body part you
wish to shave (fig. 4).
◗ Use the golden zone of the shaving foil for shaving
the underarms (fig. 5).
◗ Use the gold-striped zone of the shaving foil for
shaving the bikini line (fig. 6).
◗ Use the silver zone of the shaving foil for shaving
the legs (fig. 7).

2
Switch the ladyshave on (fig. 8).
3
Place the trimmers and the shaving foil gently on the
skin and move the ladyshave slowly over the skin
against the direction of hair growth while pressing it
lightly (fig. 9).
Make sure that both trimmers and the shaving foil are
always completely in contact with the skin.
◗ The angle between the skin and the ladyshave
should be 70c to get the best results.
◗ Thanks to the Aloe Vera Glider, the appliance glides
over the skin more easily and thus guarantees a
smooth shave while reducing the risk of skin
irritation (fig. 10).
Trimming
1
To trim the bikini zone, place the comb attachment
on the shaving head with the recess of the
attachment on the front of the appliance (fig. 11).
2
To trim the underarms, place the comb attachment
on the shaving head with the recess of the
attachment on the back of the appliance (fig. 12).
3
Switch the ladyshave on (fig. 8).
4
Move the appliance against the direction of hair
growth (fig. 13).
◗ Make sure the surface of the comb always stays in
contact with the skin.

Do not use any corrosive detergents, scouring pads or
cloths, petrol, acetone etc. to clean the appliance.
After every use
Clean the ladyshave every time you have used it.
1
Switch the appliance off.
2
Remove the shaving head (fig. 14).
