Caution

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 if it is damaged or broken, as this may cause injury.

-- Do not clean the appliance with water that is hotter than shower temperature (max. 40°C).

-- Charge, use and store the appliance at a temperature between 10°C and 30°C.

-- Make sure the socket is live when you charge the appliance.The electricity supply to sockets in mirror cabinets over washbasins or shaver sockets in bathrooms may be cut off when the light is turned off.

-- Do not use bath or shower oils when you epilate under wet conditions, as this may cause serious skin irritations.

Preparing for use

Charging

Charging the epilator takes approximately 1 hour.When the epilator is fully charged, it has a cordless operating time of up to 30 minutes.

1Switch off the appliance before you charge it.Then connect it to a wall socket.  (Fig. 3)

,, The charging light flashes white to indicate that the appliance is charging.  (Fig. 4)

,, When the battery is fully charged,the charging light lights up white continuously for 20 minutes and then goes out (Fig. 5).

Battery low or empty

-- When the battery is almost empty, the charging light starts to flash red. When this happens, the battery still contains enough energy for a few minutes of epilating.

-- When the battery is completely empty, the charging light lights up red continuously.To charge the epilator, see section ‘Charging’ above.

Using the appliance

Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully before you use the appliance for the first time.

Note:You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to the mains.

Epilating tips

-- Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating on wet skin, as water relaxes the skin and makes epilation less painful and more gentle.The appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the bath or shower.

Tip: If you want you can use your common shower gel or foam.

-- Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating.

-- General: Make sure your skin is clean and free from grease. Do not apply any cream to your skin before you start to epilate.

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

-- General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hairs have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.

Epilating

1Press the on/off button once to switch on the appliance.

,, The appliance starts to operate at speed II,which is the most efficient speed for epilating.

Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time. Speed I is suitable 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.

2Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/off button pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 6).

3Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of the hair growth while pressing it lightly.

4Press the on/off button a third time to switch off the appliance.

Tip:To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately or a few hours after epilation.

Overheat protection

This function helps to prevent overheating of the appliance.

Note:To avoid overheating of the epilator, do not press the appliance too hard onto your skin.The epilator works best when you move it over your skin without exerting excessive pressure.

If the overheat protection is activated, the appliance switches off automatically and the charging light flashes red for 30 seconds.

To reset the overheat protection, let the appliance cool down and then switch it on again.

Note:If the charging light starts to flash red again,the appliance has not yet cooled down completely.

Overload protection

If you press the epilating head too hard onto your skin or when the epilating discs of the epilating head get blocked (e.g. by clothes etc.), the appliance switches off and the charging light flashes red for 5 seconds.
