How to use

Epilation head

The fast cap for legs/arms and the gentle cap for legs/arms should be used only for legs/arms. The sensitive area cap for underarms/bikini‑line should be used only for underarms/bikini‑line.

EL9A-7A v3.indb 18 18/11/7 上午11:37

18

GBDFINLEDKPNSFINPLCZSKHROTR

Areas suitable for epilation (Fig. 8)

A.

Use the fast cap for legs/arms and the gentle cap for legs/arms.

B. Use the sensitive area cap for

underarm/bikini‑line. 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 areas may cause pain or skin trouble.

Areas not suitable for epilation

(Fig. 9)

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.

Wet your skin.

1

Wet the discs and place a

2

small quantity of liquid shower gel on the discs. (Fig. 10)

• Always use shower gel when wet epilating.

• Do not use a shower gel with a scrub or with granular salt, this may cause a malfunction.

• Rinse any shower gel out of your hands.

Select the mode by pressing

3

the power switch [Kr]�

• Foam is created. Foam makes the epilator slide better, so you can move it fast.

• The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature lower than approximately 5 °C.

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

Attach the fast cap for legs/ arms or the gentle cap for legs/arms. (Fig. 11) Upwards from the bottom of the leg. Inwards from the outside of the arm. (Fig. 12)

Attach the sensitive area cap for underarms/ bikini‑line. (Fig. 13) Lightly apply the epilator at a 90° angle to your skin and be in close contact with your skin. Do not move the appliance back and forth while applying it to the skin. Remove it from the skin, change the direction, and then move.

Efciently stretch the skin with your ngers to prevent

sagging of your skin, and move slowly going against

the ow of hair. (Fig. 14)

The hair removal is not permanent, so from the second use, it is recommended to epilate the underarms about once a week, and the bikini‑line about once every two weeks.

19

EL9A-7A v3.indb 19 18/11/7 上午11:37

<For beginners/those with

ES-EL9A

sensitive skin>

•

We also recommend to use the

SOFT mode rotation. ( Using the gentle cap for legs/arms that comes with the skin guard is recommended for people using the

epilator for the rst time or for

those with sensitive skin. The gentle cap for legs/arms has a skin protector for gentler epilation, to remove hair by holding the skin down to reduce pain.

• Massaging with a body puff may

help to prevent ingrown hairs.

• 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 rst 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 [F]�

1

• Conrm the bikini comb [E] is detached.

Check that the outer foil is not

2

deformed or damaged�

Wet your skin and put shower

3

gel on your skin.

Page 18)

• Do not use a shower gel with a scrub or with granular salt. Also do not use shaving cream, skin cream or skin lotion. Doing so may clog the blade and cause a malfunction.

Select the mode by pressing

4

the power switch [Kr]�

•

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).

Attach the foot care head [H]�

1

• Push down rmly until you hear a “click”.

Select the mode by pressing the

2

power switch [

• POWER mode is recommended for rotation speed. (

Bring the foot care head into

3

contact with the skin, and

begin ling.

The basics of foot care

Use the product only for ling

calluses and hardened skin on the feet. (Fig. 15)

• 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 ling position while ling.

•

Filing an area too deeply can cause

it to become sore or inamed.

• Filing should be performed about once every two weeks.

Tips for moving the foot care head
