Before first use
1) Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth both inside and outside
to remove any residual dust left over from transport. Dry it well
so that there is no moisture left in the appliance.
2) Place the appliance on a level and heat-resistant surface. Also
keep in mind that wax splashes may drip onto the surface. The
surface should therefore be easy to clean.
Automatic switch-off
After 60 minutes, the appliance will switch off automatically. After
55 minutes, the control lamp will start flashing to notify you that
the appliance is about to switch off automatically.
The automatic switch-off is not intended as a substitute for removing
the plug from the mains power after use! It is merely a safety feature!
Always remove the plug from the mains power socket when the appliance is not in use!
Preparing the appliance
Once the appliance is set up on a suitable surface:
1) Remove the wax discs from its packaging.
2) Add the required number of wax discs to the inner bowl .
Use the following standard values as an orientation aid. The values
may vary.

Body region
Number of
wax discs
Lower leg approx. 2 pcs. lower leg
Armpits 1 pc.
Bikini zone 1 pc.
Entire body
(lower leg, armpits,
bikini zone)
6 pcs.
3) Put the lid on the appliance by placing the plastic tab in the
groove and then turning the lid clockwise slightly (see
fold-out page):
4) Insert the plug of the power cable into the socket on the
appliance.
5) Insert the plug into a mains power socket. The control lamp in
the base of the appliance comes on and the appliance heats up.
6) Stir the wax occasionally while it is melting.
As soon as the wax discs have melted (this takes about
25–30 minutes for 6 discs), you can start epilating.

NOTE
► If you realise that you need more wax than you have melted,
you can add additional wax discs to the inner bowl .
Wait until the wax has melted before you start epilating.
Epilation
The skin regions that you want to epilate should be dry, clean and
free of care products, oils or fats.
NOTES
► Before first use, carry out a skin test to find out whether your
skin reacts to the treatment. Apply a small amount of melted
wax to an inconspicuous area of skin. After removing the
wax, check to see whether the skin reacts in any way over
the course of the next 24 hours. If you notice any skin reactions, stop using this appliance. If in any doubt, seek medical
advice.
► If you have a tendency towards ingrowing hairs, carry out
regular peelings. These can prevent the hairs from growing
inwards.
► Always pull off the wax strips as close as possible to the skin
surface.
► Make sure that you don’t get any wax on your clothes. Wax
residue can be very difficult to remove and may discolour
clothing.

Legs
Once the wax discs are completely melted:
1) Open the lid by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it
upwards.
2) Pick up a little wax using the flattened edge of the spatula .
You can wipe off excess wax on the rim of the appliance.
3) Apply the wax to the skin in the direction of hair growth (from the
knee towards the heel). The wax strips should have the approximate thickness of an orange peel and the area of two spatulas
laid side by side. You may have to add wax. Try to make sure that
one end of the applied wax strip (the end nearer to your heel) is a
little thicker as you will need to be able to grip this end for removal.
4) After application, you can place the spatula into the tray
on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula projects over
the inner bowl .
5) Wait about 30 - 60 seconds until the wax is dry.
6) Pull the skin taut with one hand. Grip the wax strip by the thicker
end and pull it off with a rapid movement against the direction of
hair growth (from your ankle towards your knee).
Repeat the process for the remaining areas of skin.
7) When you are finished with the treatment, pull the plug from
the mains power socket to turn off the appliance. The control
lamp goes out.
