-- Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the shower.

Warning

-- Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or broken to avoid injuries.

-- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

-- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Caution

-- The epilator is intended for epilating the underarms and arms, but it can also be used to epilate the bikini line, the upper lip, the chin and hard-to-reach areas, such as knees and ankles. Do not use the epilator for any other purpose.

-- For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only be used by one person.

-- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running epilator away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc.

-- Do not use the appliance on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs) or wounds without consulting your doctor first.

-- People with a reduced immune response or people who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor first.

-- Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times you use the appliance. In rare cases, epilating in sensitive areas may also cause bleeding points.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and quickly disappears. As you use the appliance more often, your skin gets used to epilation, skin irritation decreases and regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.

-- Do not expose the appliance to temperatures lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C.

-- Only use the epilator on non-rechargeable AA 1.5V alkaline batteries.

Epilation tips

Before you start epilating

Note:Always clean the epilator before first use.

-- When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.

-- We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears overnight.

-- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating.

-- Make sure your skin is clean,entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any deodorant, makeup or cream before you start epilating.

-- Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after approx. 1 week.

-- As your hair grows in different cycles, it is best to epilate a few days in a row when you start epilating.This will help you to remain

stubble-free longer because your hairs will start regrowing in the same cycle and pace.

During epilation

-- While epilating, stretch your skin with your free hand.This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimise the pulling sensation.

-- Rub your skin to lift short hairs.

-- For optimal performance, place the epilating head on the skin at an angle of 90° with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. Guide the appliance across the skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow, continuous movement without exerting any pressure.

-- On some areas, hair may grow in different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results.

-- If you sweat during epilation, dab your skin dry with a soft cloth.

After epilation

-- Use a soft deodorant without alcohol or a special deodorising cream for epilated skin after epilating the underarms.

-- To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately after epilation or a few hours after epilation, depending on what is better for your skin.

-- Regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream (e.g. during showering) 24 hours after epilation helps to prevent ingrowing hair, as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin

layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.

2Insert two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries into the battery compartment (Fig. 3).

Epilating with the epilator

Use the epilator to epilate the underarms, the bikini line, the upper lip, the chin and hard-to-reach areas.

1Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated. Remove any residues of deodorant, cream etc.Then dab the skin dry.

Note:Always stretch the skin with your free hand.

4To epilate the bikini line or underarms, move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the

direction of the hair growth.

-- Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 4).

5If you want to epilate the area around your mouth (upper lip and chin), follow the instructions below.

Tip:We advise you to always epilate the area around your mouth before you go to bed at night, as this allows any skin irritation that may develop to disappear overnight.When you epilate the area around the mouth the first few times,skin irritation or bleeding points (small injuries) may occur in rare cases,as the skin in this area is very sensitive.

-- Place the epilator at an angle of 90° onto the skin and move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of hairgrowth (Fig. 6).

Note:To make the epilation as comfortable as possible stretch the skin around the mouth with your free hand.Do not press the epilator too firmly against the skin.Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of hair growth.

-- You can also move the appliance in different directions to catch all hairs (Fig. 7).

Tip:To relax the skin,we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately after epilation or a few hours after epilation,depending on what is better for your skin.
