For best performance, fully charge the appliance before use.

You cannot operate the appliance while charging.

Charging time = Approx. 1 hour

The epilator can be used for approximately 30 minutes (40

minutes when using the gentle cap) after 1 hour of charging.

(This will differ depending on the temperature.)

Plug the AC adaptor

into the epilator (a) and

a household outlet (b).

• Recommended ambient

temperature for charging is

15 - 35 °C. The battery may

not charge properly or not at

all under extreme low or

high temperatures.





While charging

After charging is

completed

Abnormal charging

Red light appears. Red light goes off.

Blinks twice every

second.

• The charging time may decrease depending on the charging

capacity.

• After charging is completed, turning the power switch ON with

the epilator plugged in will cause the charging light to light up

and then turn off after 5 seconds.

This shows that the epilator is fully charged.

• Charging the appliance every time it is used will not affect the

life of the rechargeable battery.

• When charging the epilator for the ﬁrst time or when it has not

been in use for more than 6 months, the time it takes to charge

the epilator may increase, or the charging light may not glow for

a few minutes. It will eventually glow if kept connected.

How to use

Epilation head

Areas suitable for epilation

The epilator can be

used on the

areas.

The epilator can be used on

the

areas.

Before epilating the bikini-

line, 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.

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.

1

Wet your skin.

2

Wet the discs and place a

small quantity of liquid

shower gel on the discs.

• Always use shower gel when wet

epilating.

• Rinse any shower gel out of your

hands.

3

Select the mode by pressing

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.

18

• 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.

(

Page 16)

1. Remove the fast cap [B].

2. Attach the gentle cap [C].

• 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.

19

H RO SK CZ PL FIN DK S N P NL E I F D GB

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.

1

Attach the shaver head [H].

• Conﬁrm the bikini comb [G] is detached.

2

Check that the outer foil is not deformed or

damaged.

3

Wet your skin and put shower gel on your skin.

• Do not use shaving cream, skin cream or skin lotion as it

will clog the blades.

4

Select the mode by pressing the power switch

[]. (

Page 16)

• Press gently so that the whole blade is in close contact

with the skin and the surface of the blade does not move

up and down.

Foot care head

• The foot care head cannot be used in a bath or shower.

• Before use, be sure to fully charge the appliance.

• We recommend using the product within 30 minutes after

bathing or showering. With the feet clean, wipe off any water on

the skin. (Each use should be approximately 10 minutes

(5 minutes on each foot, 10 minutes total for both feet))

1

Attach the foot care head [J].

• Push down ﬁrmly until you hear a “click”.

2

Press the power switch []

once.

• NORMAL mode is recommended for

rotation speed. (

Page 16)

3

Bring the foot care head into contact with the

skin, and begin ﬁling.

• Filing a single location for a long time can cause it to

become hot with friction. To avoid this, be sure to make

small changes in the ﬁling position while ﬁling.

• Filing should be performed about once every two weeks.

The basics of foot care

Do not use the product for ﬁling anything other

than calluses and hardened skin on the feet.

Tips for moving the foot care head

Move in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Use your free hand to support ﬁling.

Sonic scrub brush

• We recommend using about once per week.

• We recommend using on areas for epilation about 2 days

before actual epilation. Exfoliation may help to prevent ingrown

hairs.

1

Attach the brush head [N] with sonic scrub

brush [L]. (

Page 16)

• Push down ﬁrmly until you hear a “click”.

2

Wet your skin.

• Use shower gel to protect your skin.

3

Pour a small quantity of water

and shower gel into the centre

of the sonic scrub brush [L].

• Rinse any excess shower gel off your

hands.

• Do not use body scrub paste that

contains granular salt or abrasive

particles to avoid shortening the

lifetime of the appliance.

Use shower gel in the amount

indicated by line (a) and water in the

amount indicated by line (b) on the

protection cap for the sonic scrub

brush [K].
