Your New Epilator

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest epilation products available today. The Remington Smooth & Silky® epilation system is an innovative and revolutionary beauty care product for the removal of hair FROM THE ROOT. It is designed to provide you with smooth, soft, gentle results quickly.

WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL GOLD MEDAL

The Smooth & Silky® epilation system is a major improvement upon previous hair removal methods. The ease of use and the perfection of results, takes the removal of hair from the root to new heights of technological achievement. It's the only hair removal system to receive a GOLD MEDAL from the International Invention Convention.

If you are new to epilation systems, you may experience some initial discomfort. This decreases with each use of the product. With cumulative use of the Smooth & Silky® epilation system, you may find a decrease in both the quantity and the density of hair growth.

Like waxing, Remington's Smooth & Silky® is better than shaving because skin remains silky smooth for up to four to six weeks. But unlike waxing, the Smooth & Silky® epilator is more efficient, cleaner and can

be used in the comfort of your home eliminating the high cost and inconvenience of salon waxing.

The ergonomic design of Remington's Smooth & Silky® EP-1000 consists of 6 rows of 3 pairs of discs each. Together they open and close 25,000 times per minute or 400 times per second. Each time each set of discs opens, it is for a mere 1/100 of a second. The EP-2000 consists of 6 rows of 3 sets of 3 discs. Together, they open and close 55,000 times per minute or more than

900 times per second. All discs are on curve which follows the natural contours of a women's face and body. The EP-2000 model has an additional fixed middle disc in each disc pair for more efficient depilation.

The Smooth & Silky® epilator can be used effectively after approximately 48 hours after shaving. Hair as short as 0.02" (0.5 mm) can be easily removed. Remington's Smooth & Silky® epilator has a built-in safety feature that automatically slows down or stops the discs when they are pressed too hard against the skin's surface; thus eliminating skin irritation and preventing discomfort.

User Maintenance Instructions

How To Use

To get the most out of your Smooth & Silky® epilator, please follow these simple instructions:

■Your skin should be clean and dry of cream or oil. Use after a shower or bath may increase effectiveness. Do not use in an environment where you may perspire.

■The discs are intended to remove hair as short as 0.02" (0.5 mm).

■When plugging your epilator in, always attach plug to the epilator first, then to outlet. This is a single voltage unit designed to work with 120 Volts A.C., 60 Hz.

■Switch your Smooth & Silky® epilator to the "ON" position. Hold it so that the hypo-allergenic discs are perpendicular to your skin. Best results are achieved by gliding the epilator lightly over the skin in a short, circular motion - sweeping the head up and and away at the end of each pass. The discs should gently glide over the skin, barely touching it. If you press too hard, a built-in safety measure slows or stops the discs altogether. This product has the potential to pull or catch the skin if you push too hard against the skin surface.

■Repeat the motion within the same area a few times until all hair is removed. The duration of use depends on the quantity and density of the hair. After several months of cumulative use, there will be less hair and those remaining will be thinner. There will also be a longer interval between re-growth of the hair.

■For best results, the unit should be cleaned after every use. NOTE: Always disconnect the epilator from the main electrical outlet prior to cleaning. Never dip the machine in water or use powders or other abrasive materials. Remove the disc cover by pressing the release button and pulling the cover up (see drawing). Then brush the discs from all sides with the provided brush and fit the cover back snugly.

■The Smooth & Silky® epilator can be used safely on the bikini line. If the bikini line hair is too long, trim first with either scissors or a trimmer. Afterwards, you can use

the Smooth & Silky® epilator to remove the hair from the root for weeks of a smooth and beautiful bikini line.

■Your Smooth & Silky® epilator can be used safely to remove a single hair from the face or body.

■You should initially use your Remington® Smooth & Silky® epilator about once a week. Touch-ups will contribute to the weakening of your hair and will keep your legs constantly smooth. Removing hair once a week is recommended particularly for women with sensitive skin because the process is gentle and only takes a few minutes.

■The unit has no user serviceable parts.
