Tips for best epilation results

Please refer to the “Quick User Card” as well.● The hair removal is not permanent, so after the 2nd use we

recommend that you epilate the arms and legs about once every two weeks.

When epilating for the ﬁrst time, or using for the ﬁrst time in a

●

while, we recommend using the beginner cap. We also recommend warming the skin to soften the skin before use.

The beginner cap narrows the epilating area thus reducing the number of hairs removed at one time. It provides a more gentle epilation for beginners and those with sensitive skin.

1. Remove the gentle cap [ h the beginner cap [

your skin. Always make sure that the appliance is in contact with your skin and press gently while moving it slowly against the hair growth.

When using the appliance, pull your skin taut where the area

Using the bikini comb

Epilating

Dry epilation

Before epilating, wipe away water or sweat on your skin.

Press the OFF/ON switch to turn on the power.

Wet/foam epilation

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.

Wet your skin.

Wet the discs and place a small

quantity of liquid body soap on the discs.

Always use body soap when you

•

epilate in wet condition. Rinse any body soap out of your hands.

•

Press the OFF/ON switch to turn

on the power.

Foam is created. Foam makes the

•

epilator slide better, so you can move it fast.

If soap is not completely washed away, then a white

Replacing the outer foil

We recommend replacing the outer foil [F6] every year and the inner blade every two years. Remove the outer foil of the shaver head [F] only when replacing it.

1. While pushing the outer foil gently with the ﬁngers, use a ﬁngernail to release the plastic panel (b) on the blade from the hooks (a) on the inside of the frame.

2. The new outer foil should be slightly bent and pushed in until it is hooked in the frame.
