Preparing for use

Charging

- Charging the epilator takes approx. 1 hour.When the epilator is fully

charged, it has a cordless operating time of up to 40 minutes.

1 Connect the small plug to the appliance (1) and the mains plug to the

wall socket (2).

ENGLISH

,The charging light pulsates white to indicate that the appliance is

charging.When the batteries are fully charged, the charging light

lights up white continuously for 20 minutes and then goes out.

Batteries low or empty

- When the batteries are almost empty, the charging light starts to ash

red. When this happens, the batteries still contain enough energy for a

few minutes of operation.

- When the batteries are completely empty, the appliance stops

operating and the charging light lights up red continuously.To charge

the epilator, see ‘Charging’ above.



Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully before you use the

appliance for the rst time.

Note:You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to the mains.

Epilating tips

- 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 gentler.The appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the

shower or bathtub.

- Wet: If you want, you can use your common shower gel or foam.

- 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 in the evening, as skin irritation

usually disappears overnight.

ENGLISH 5

- 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 rst and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or

2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 3-4 mm.

Epilating the legs with the epilator

- If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use

the epilating head with the basic epilation cap.

- If your hairs lie at on your skin, we advise you to use the active hair-

lift and massage cap.This cap not only lifts up the hairs but its active

massaging roller also minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.

Note: Remove the basic epilation cap (1) before you attach another cap (2).

1 Put the cap on the epilating head.

2 Press the on/off button once to switch on the appliance.

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

efcient speed for epilating.

Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time.

Note: Speed I is suitable for areas with little hair growth and for hard-to-reach

areas, such as knees and ankles.

ENGLISH6

3 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright

(1). 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 (2).

4 Slowly move the appliance over the skin against the direction of the

hair growth while pressing it lightly.

Tip:To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately

or a few hours after epilation. For the underarms, use a mild deodorant without

alcohol.

Shaving the underarms and bikini line

Use the shaving head to shave sensitive areas, such as the underarms and

the bikini line.

Note:To get the best shaving results, use the shaving head on a dry skin. If you

want to use the shaving head in the bath or shower, we advise you to use your

common shower gel for a more gentle shave.

1 Press the release button (1) and remove the epilating head from the

epilator (2).

Note:You can remove the shaving head in the same way.

2 Put the shaving head on the appliance and press it until it snaps

home.

4 Place the shaving head at an angle of 90° onto your skin with the on/

off button pointing in the direction in which you are going to move

the shaving head according to the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning

Overheat protection

This function helps to prevent overheating of the appliance.

Note:To avoid overheating of the appliance, do not press it too hard onto

your skin.The appliance works best when you move it over your skin without

excessive pressure.

If the overheat protection is activated, the appliance switches off

automatically and the charging light and the speed lights ash red for

30 seconds.

You can deactivate the overheat protection by letting the appliance cool

down and then switch it on again.

Note: If the charging light ashes red again, the appliance has not yet cooled

down completely.

Overload protection

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

epilating discs of the epilating head get blocked (e.g. by clothes), the

appliance switches off automatically and the speed lights ash red for

5 seconds.

1 Turn the epilating discs with your thumb until you can remove

whatever blocks the epilating discs.
