or when the skin is irritated,or if you have

first.

◗ Use of the Satin Ice Epilator may cause

reddening or irritation of the skin.This is a
normal reaction,which should quickly
disappear. However,if irritation remains for
more than three days, consult your doctor.

◗ Any minor injury resulting from hair

removal may allow bacteria to
penetrate the injury site potentially
causing small scars or a change in
pigmentation of the skin.The risk of
infection may be minimized by
thoroughly cleaning the rotating
discs before and/or after each use
(see Cleaning section).

◗ The Epilator should only be used after

prior consultation with your doctor if you
have or experience:

- Open wounds

- Eczema, psoriasis (scaly eczema),

skin rashes or the tendency to allergy or
allergic reactions

change in your hormone levels may
influence the thickness,color or amount
of hair growth.This is caused by the hormonal

◗ When removing hair from the area

behind knees, be sure to keep skin
stretched tightly to prevent pinching
of the skin by the rotating discs.

◗ When using the Epilator for the first time,

you may feel some discomfort, irritation
or experience reddening of the skin.This
is because the hairs are actually removed
at the root.The discomfort you feel will
tend to lessen with successive uses.You may
wish to remove hair in the evening so if any
reddening occurs it will diminish overnight.

◗ To help prevent ingrown hairs,it is

recommended to regularly exfoliate the legs at
least 2 days before epilating.

◗ Use only the cord provided.
◗ Clean appliance regularly following

Cleaning instructions.

Introduction

Congratulations! Your new Satin Ice Epilator
can remove unwanted hairs quickly, easily
and effectively. The combination of the proven
epilating disc system with the newly developed
skin cooler constitutes a revolution in epilation.
Thanks to the natural numbing effect of ice on
the skin, the new Satin Ice Epilator makes
epilation more comfortable. Even short hairs are
removed at the root by the quick rotating discs.
Any regrowth of hairs tends to be softer ­minimizing stubble. Your legs will stay silky smooth
and hair-free for weeks.To acquaint yourself with
how the Satin Ice Epilator works, be certain to
read the instructions and important information
contained in this booklet before using for the first
time. Satin Ice Epilator with the unique skin
cooler... the choice for smooth, silky results that
lasts for weeks!

Before Epilating

◗ Make sure your skin is clean, free from

grease and creams.Do not apply any
cream before using.Hairs are easier to
remove after a bath or shower ; but your
skin should be completely dry before
using your Satin Ice Epilator.

◗ If you are using the appliance for the first

time, it is recommended that you begin at
an area with little hair growth to become
accustomed to using your Satin Ice Epilator.

◗ As the hairs are being removed by the

root,your skin may feel a little discomfort
after using the Satin Ice Epilator system
for the first time. This effect will gradually
lessen with each use.

◗ After epilation,regrowth of hairs tends to

be softer both in appearance and in touch.

◗ After each use,you may want to apply a

non-alcohol based mild cream or body
lotion which helps reduce the possibility
of skin irritation.

Freezing the Skin Cooler

1 Remove the protective sleeve from the

skin cooler (Fig.1).

2 Put the skin cooler without the protective

sleeve in the freezer cassette and put it
in the freezer or freezing compartment
for at least 2 hours before you start
epilating (Fig.2).

Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is
completely dry before you freeze it.

◗ Tip: You can store the skin cooler in the

freezer permanently.
