With your new Satinelle ICE PREMIUM you
can remove unwanted hairs quickly, easily and
effectively. The combination of the ceramic epilating
system with the contour-following skin cooler
and the new sonic massaging system constitutes
a revolution in epilation. Thanks to the natural
numbing effect of ice and massaging, the new
Satinelle ICE PREMIUM makes epilation more
comfortable and less painful than ever. The result
is a silky-smooth skin and a hair growth reduction
of up to 50%, assuming you use the appliance
regularly (every 4 weeks).
The Satinelle ICE PREMIUM is suitable for all body
parts and comes with a sensitive area cap that has
been specially developed for epilating sensitive
areas (underarms, bikini line).
The rapidly rotating epilating discs catch even the
shortest hairs (down to 0.5 millimetre!) and pull
them out by the roots. As a result, your skin stays
smooth for up to four weeks and regrowth is soft
and downy.

Preparing for use
Freezing the leg skin cooler
Put the skin cooler WITHOUT the insulating
1
sleeve in the freezer or freezing compartment
(***) at least 4 hours before you start to
epilate. When the fluid has turned completely
blue, the skin cooler is ready for use.
Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is
completely dry before you freeze it.
Tip: You can store the skin cooler in the freezer
permanently.
Using the appliance
general information about epilation
Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower.
,
Make sure your skin is completely dry when
you start to epilate.
When you use the appliance for the first
,
time, we advise you to try it out on an area
with only light hair growth. This helps you get
accustomed to the epilation process.
For optimal epilating results, the hairs should
,
not be longer than 10 millimetres (Fig. 2)
To epilate longer hairs: (Fig. 2)
,
-
shorten the hairs to a maximum length of
10mm with a trimmer. In this case, you can
start to epilate right away.
-
shave the hairs completely. In this case you can
start to epilate after a few days (the hairs must
be at least 0.5mm long).
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.
We advise you to epilate before you go to
,
bed at night, as this allows any skin irritation
that may develop to diminish overnight.
Corded use
You can also use the appliance from the mains.
However, to avoid damage to the batteries, only
use the appliance from the mains when the
batteries are empty.
To run the appliance from the mains when
1
the batteries are empty, switch off the
appliance and connect it to the mains. Wait
a few seconds before you switch on the
appliance.
Epilating with the leg skin cooler
Only use the leg skin cooler to epilate your legs.
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before you
start to epilate.
Slide the insulating sleeve onto the skin
1
cooler. (Fig. 3)
The insulating sleeve prevents an unpleasant
sensation of coldness in your hand while you use
the appliance. It also keeps the skin cooler cold as
long as possible.
Sometimes the pivoting cooling head freezes onto
the skin cooler and does not move when you
take the skin cooler from the freezer. The pivoting
cooling head starts to pivot again after you have
passed it over your leg a few times.
