Page 11
<DRY epilation>
• DRY epilation is recommended. Before DRY epilation, wipe away moisture and sweat from the skin. Next, press the power switch.
<WET epilation>
• For WET epilation, always use only shower gel. Put the shower gel on the wet discs and turn on the switch to make lather.
Use on sufciently wet skin. If you
notice that some hair is not removed during epilation, try switching to DRY epilation.
• The pressure sensor works and the LED light may blink depending on the amount and type of shower gel used. Adjust the amount of shower gel or add water to the discs to dilute the foam.
• Foam forms, making the epilator slippery so you can move it quickly.
• The appliance may not operate at an ambient temperature
lower than approximately 5 °C.
• Apply the epilator at a 90° angle and slide it slowly over your skin.
<Epilating legs or arms>

• Hair removal is not permanent, so it is recommended to epilate the underarms about once a week, and the bikini-line about once every two weeks.
<For beginners/those with sensitive skin>
• We also recommend to use SOFT mode. (
• Using the gentle cap for legs/arms with the skin guard is best for rst time use or for those with sensitive skin. The gentle cap for legs/arms has a skin protector for gentle hair removal by holding the skin down to reduce pain.
<Tips for best results>
• Massaging with a body puff may help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Reddening may occur after use. A cool towel is helpful in case of pain or a rash.
• If your skin is dry, apply moisturizer two days after use.
• Make sure skin is clean before and after use.
<Best hair length for epilation>
Trim your hair before rst time use or if you have not removed hair for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.
