Introduction

With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair quickly, easily and

effectively. It is suitable for removing hair from your legs, underarms and

bikini line.

The rotating discs catch even the shortest hairs (down to 0.5mm) and

pull them out by the root.The hairs that grow back are soft and thin.

Epilating with this new appliance leaves your skin smooth and hair-free for

several weeks.

This epilator comes with a massage attachment and an efciency cap. The

massage attachment helps to minimise the pulling sensation and gives you

a more pleasant feeling during epilation.The massage attachment pivots

for optimal contour following and can be easily detached for better

cleaning. The efciency cap ensures maximum skin contact for more

efcient epilation.

Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst 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 peeling glove immediately before or after epilation.

ingrowing hairs.

Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin or bath lled with

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

General information about epilation

When you use the appliance for the rst time, we advise you to try it

out on an area with only light hair growth.This helps you get

accustomed to the epilation process.

Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do

not use any cream before you start to epilate.

Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is

completely dry when you start to epilate.

ENGLISH8

We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows

any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.

For optimal epilation results, the hairs should not be longer than

10mm. Use one of the following methods if the hairs are longer than

10mm:

1 Shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer.

Afterwards you can immediately start with epilation.

2 Shave the hairs completely. Then you can start to epilate after a few

days (minimum hair length 0.5mm necessary).

As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may cause some skin

discomfort the rst few times you use the epilator. This

effect gradually diminishes when you use the appliance more often.

Regrowth tends to be softer both in appearance and to the touch.

If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating with the

pivoting massage attachment. This attachment relaxes the skin and eases

the sensation of epilation.

If you are used to epilation, use the efciency cap. The efciency cap

ensures maximum skin contact and allows you to epilate your legs more

quickly and efciently.

Only use the efciency cap on your legs.

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

2 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance.

Select 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.

Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair growth.

ENGLISH 9

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. 7).

5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of

hair growth.

Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.

Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that reduces the number of

active epilating discs.This makes the appliance ideal for epilating the more

delicate areas of the body, such as the underarms and bikini line.

Note:You get the best results when the hairs are not too long (max.1cm).

1 Put the massage attachment on the epilating head. (Fig. 8)

2 Hook the curved strip of the sensitive area cap behind the ridge

just in front of the massage beads (1).Then press the front of the

cap downwards (2) (‘click’) (Fig. 9).

3 Switch on the appliance.

We advise you to select speed II.

4 Stretch the skin with your free hand.

5 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto your skin, with the on/off

slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the

appliance (Fig. 7).

6 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of

the hair growth.

Epilate your bikini line as shown in the gure (Fig. 10).

Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure (Fig. 11).
