How to use

Epilation head

Areas suitable for epilation

The epilator can be used on the areas.

The epilator can be used on the Before epilating the bikiniline, be sure to put on your swim wear or underwear etc. and check the areas you wish to epilate.

• Using the epilator on areas other than those marked

may cause pain or skin trouble.

Areas not suitable for epilation

The epilator should not be used on the inner side of the upper arms and areas such as elbows or knees which are prone to sagging.

areas.

WET epilation (epilating after wetting the skin and epilator and then applying foam) makes the skin softer so it is gentler to your skin when epilating. For DRY epilation, begin at step 3. Before DRY epilation, wipe dry any moisture or sweat from the skin.

Wet your skin.

1

Wet the discs and place a

2

small quantity of liquid shower gel on the discs.

• Always use shower gel when wet

epilating.

• Rinse any shower gel out of your

hands.

Select the mode by pressing

3

the power switch []. (

Page 16)

• Foam is created. Foam makes the

epilator slide better, so you can move it fast.

• The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature

approximately 5 °C or lower.

• Apply the epilator at 90° to your skin and move it slowly so that

it slides over your skin.

Upwards from the bottom of the leg. Inwards from the outside of the arm.

Move in several directions as underarm/bikini line hair grows in different directions.

Stretch the skin with your ﬁngers, and move slowly from inside to outside going against the ﬂow of hair.

Tips for best epilation results

The hair removal is not permanent, so from the 2nd use we recommend that you epilate the underarms about once a week and the arms and legs about once every two weeks.

When epilating for the ﬁrst time, or when using on sensitive skin, we recommend using the gentle cap. The gentle cap has a skin protector for gentler epilation, to remove hair by holding the skin down to reduce pain.

• We also recommend to use the SOFT mode rotation.

• Reddening might appear after use. A cool towel will help if you

feel pain or there is a rash.

• If your skin gets dry after epilation, we recommend applying a

moisture lotion two days after epilation.

• Make sure skin is clean before and after use.

Trim your hair before epilating for the ﬁrst time or if you have not epilated for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.

Shaver head

WET Shaving with soap lather makes the skin slippery for a closer shave. For DRY shaving, step 3 is unnecessary. Before DRY shaving, wipe dry any moisture or sweat from the skin.

Attach the shaver head [H].
