• Vision function :The Vision system installed in your device gives
perfect epilation results first time. By diffusing an ultraluminous
halo on the skin, this system makes all your hair – even the finest,
shortest and fairest hairs – easier to see.
• Pivoting head function: For comfort of use, your appliance is fitted
with a pivoting head that adapts to every contour of the areas to be
shaved (legs, armpits, bikini line) for a smooth, efficient result.
• Pain-relieving function: Fresh Extreme is equipped with a high-
speed turbine which blows air onto the skin and cools it.This helps
to reduce the pain caused by epilation.

3-PREPARATION OF THE SKIN
Your skin must be clean and dry.
• Do not apply either cream or hydrating milk before depilation.
• If you previously used a razor for depilation:
- the first few times you use the depilator, your skin may feel more
sensitive, as shaving has made your hair thicker and stronger. This
sensation will lessen the more you use your depilator : the hair will
grow back less quickly and become thinner.
• Your depilator will be much more effective and easier to use if you
use it regularly.
We advise you to use your depilator as soon as your hair starts to
grow back.

We strongly recommend that you use the Exfoliator Head 2 days be-
fore using your epilator to avoid irritating your skin.
• And not to use a peeling gel or cream at the same time.
• Never carry out peeling on sensitive areas (armpits / bikini line /

nel to remove any dead skin Fig. 3. Dry the skin thoroughly after-
wards.

this

appliance
3. not to use the appliance more than twice on the same area.

9-TRIM AND EVEN OUT HAIR IN THE BIKINI
AREA
Put the bikini line trimmer head in place (20).Your bikini line trimmer
head is equipped with 3 combs to lift long hairs for cutting by the
blade.
Choose the desired comb before switching the appliance on.
IMPORTANT
For your first use, we advise you to use the comb for the longest cut-
ting length.
- If you want a hair length of approximately 9 mm, use the largest
comb.
- If you want a hair length of approximately 3 mm, use the smallest
comb.
- If you want a hair length of approximately 6 mm, use the medium-
sized comb.
Slide the comb into the two grooves on the trimmer head (a), then set
the switch to 2. Fig. 22
Hold the appliance upright so that you can see the appliance name,
and move it slowly against the hair.
IMPORTANT
If your skin becomes irritated, apply some talc after use.
• For a neat bikini outline
If you want a closer shave, use the bikini line trimmer head without
the comb:
Stop the appliance by pressing 0 and unplug it.
Push to remove the comb (b). Fig. 23
Then switch on the machine by selecting speed 1 or 2.
Hold the appliance upright and move it slowly against the hair.
IMPORTANT For greater effectiveness, pull hair outward with the
other hand to make it stand out. This will give you a more precise
shave with little irritation.
