Helpful Hints:

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 Remington® epilation system, you
may find a decrease in both the quan­tity and the density of hair growth.

Like waxing, the Remington® epilation
system is better than shaving because
skin remains silky smooth for up to four
to six weeks. But unlike waxing, the
Remington®

epilator is more efficient,
cleaner and can be used in the comfort
of your home eliminating the high cost
and inconvenience of salon waxing.

Be patient when first using your
epilator, as with any new product, it
may take a little while to familiarize
yourself with the product. Take the
time to acquaint yourself with your
epilator, as we are confident you will
receive years of enjoyable use and
complete satisfaction.

Your new epilator is designed to make
the removal of unwanted hair as effi­cient, gentle and easy as possible.
The curved epilation head is especially
designed to fit the contours of your
body. The rotary tweezers catch even
the shortest hairs (minimum length
.02"/.5mm) and pull them out by the
root. The hair that grows back should
be soft and thin.
Epilating leaves your skin smooth and
hair-free for several weeks.

n Before epilating, make sure that

your skin is clean, dry and free from
creams or oils.

n Remove protective cap and turn the

epilator on to the desired speed.
Low is recommended for fine hair
and high is recommended for coarse
hair or stronger hair growth.

n

Using your free hand, hold the skin
taut to make the hairs stand upright.

n Position the epilator flat so that

the stainless steel discs are at 90º
angle and flat against the skin. The
Remington® epilation
head is curved to
ensure maximum
contact with the area
of hair removal.

n Using small circular

motions, slowly and gently glide
the epilator over the skin. This

circular motion is the most effective
method and makes the process
more comfortable. Alternatively,
guide the epilator in a slow,
continuous movement
against the hair
growth.

n Repeat within

each area until all
unwanted hair is removed.

n After epilating, turn the epilator off

and replace the protective cap.

How to Use

Caution:

n For your protection your epilator may

slow down or even stop if pressed
too firmly against the skin.

n Do not use the epilating head on

irritated skin or skin with varicose
veins, rashes, spots, moles or
wounds without consulting a doctor.
People with reduced immune
response e.g. during pregnancy, or
people who suffer from diabetes
mellitus, hemophilia or immuno­deficiency should also consult their
doctor before using this product.

n For hygiene reasons do not let

another person use your epilator.
It is recommended for use by one
person only.

Operating Instructions:

n Take the charging unit and plug its

cord into an electric outlet.

n Securely plug the charging unit into

the epilator and the epilator is ready
to use.

n This epilator can ONLY be used

corded.

Arm/Leg Epilation

Epilate from the lower
arm/leg and slowly
move upwards.
To epilate behind the
elbow/knee, keep the
arm/leg straight to
stretch the skin.

Underarms and Bikini

Please be aware that
these areas are particu­larly sensitive. However
this sensitivity will
reduce after repeated
usage.
For more comfort,
ensure that the skin is
held taut and that the
hair is at the optimum
length of .02-.05" or
.5-1.27mm. If it has been an extended
period of time since you have removed
hair, trim the hair with a Remington®
bikini trimmer or cosmetic trimmer
before epilation.

When epilating the underarm area,
raise your arm so that the skin is
stretched. Guide the epilator in circular
movements. Avoid using substances
which may cause irritation, such as
deodorants, directly after epilation
(preferably overnight).

Usage Tips

n Using an epilator may cause

reddening or irritation of the skin.
This is a normal reaction that will
quickly disappear. However, you
should consult your doctor if the
irritation has not disappeared
within three days.

n All methods of hair removal from

the root can result in ingrown hairs
depending on the condition of the
skin and hair. Regular exfoliation
helps to prevent ingrown hairs. In
some cases inflammation of the skin
could occur when bacteria penetrate
the skin (e.g. when sliding the
appliance over the skin). Thorough
cleaning of the epilation head before
each use will minimize the risk of
infection.

n

When using an epilator for the first time
it is best to try it on a small area to get
used to the process of epilation.

n

The optimum length for hair removal
is between .02-.05" or .5-1.27mm.
Epilation is easier and more
comfortable with this hair length.

n Take a warm bath or shower before

epilating and exfoliate to remove
dead skin cells. This will make
your skin more pliable, making the
epilation process less uncomfortable.

n Your skin should be clean and dry of

creams or oils.

For the Best Results:

n Best results are achieved by gliding

the epilator lightly over the skin in

short, circular motion-sweeping
the head up 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.

n 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.

n

You may want to e pilate in the ev ening
so that any possible reddening can
disappear overni ght.

n After use, you can use a body cream

or aloe lotion to soothe the skin and
reduce skin irritation.

n Regularly exfoliate after epilation to

avoid ingrown hairs.

n For best results, the unit should be

cleaned after every use.

n The

Remington®

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 epilator
to remove the hair from the root for
weeks for a smooth and beautiful
bikini line.

n Your Remington® epilator can be

used safely to remove a single hair
from the body.

n Use on face is not recommended.
n You should initially use your 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.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Storage

Ensure that the protective cap is on
the epilator before storing.
Never wrap the cord around the epila­tor, since this will cause the cord to
wear prematurely and break, thus
voiding warrantly. Handle the cord
carefully and avoid twisting, jerking
or straining it, especially at cord con­nections.

Caring For Your Epilator

To ensure long lasting performance of
your epilator, clean the head assembly
regularly. Always keep the protective
cap on the epilation head when the
epilator is not in use.

CLEANING THE EPILA­TION HEAD AFTER EACH
USE

n Ensure the epilator

is turned off and
disconnected from the
outlet.

n Press button on side of

epilator to release cap.

n Turn the head assembly upside

down.

n Brush the accumulated hair from

the tweezers by turning the barrel
manually.

NOTE: The body of the epilator is
NOT washable.

DO NOT SUBMERGE IN WATER.

CAUTION:

Epilator body: NOT suitable for clean­ing under water.

TO REMOVE RESIDUE

To remove residue from the stainless
steel tweezers of the curved epilator
head, dampen a swab with alcohol.
Gently run the swab over the tweezers
until the residue has been removed.

CAUTION: Make sure that the cotton
swab is not soaked in alcohol as this
may damage the epilator head.

NOTE: This appliance does not contain
any user-serviceable parts.
