-- Do not use the appliance or the adapter if it is damaged.

-- If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced with one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard.

-- The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as this causes a hazardous situation.

-- 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

-- Only epilate the underarms and bikini line with the sensitive area cap attached.

-- This appliance is only intended for removing women’s body hair on areas below the neck. Do not use it for any other purpose.

-- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the operating appliance (with or without attachment) 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 epilator.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 use the epilating head and attachments if they are damaged or broken, as this may cause injury.

Using the appliance

Note:Clean the epilating head before first use.

Epilation tips

-- 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 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 either shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks, or that you use a trimmer with comb to precut hairs to this ideal length.

-- When you epilate for the first time, we advise you to epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that develops can disappear overnight.

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

Connecting the appliance

1Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).

2Insert the adapter into the wall socket.

Epilating the legs

We advise you to start epilating with the hair-lifting attachment with massage element.This attachment ensures optimal hair lifting, relaxes the skin and minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.

Only use the hair-lifting attachment on your legs.

1Put the hair-lifting attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6).

The procedure for placing the attachments onto the appliance is the same for all attachments.

2Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (Fig. 7).

Preferably use speed II. Switch to speed I for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles.

3Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.Then place the epilator 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 (Fig. 8).

4Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of hair growth.

Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.

Epilating the underarms and bikini line

Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that reduces the number of active epilating discs.

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

2Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 9).

3Switch on the appliance.

4Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.Then place the epilator 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.
