candida or immune deficiency.
Some useful tips
If you have not used an epilator before,
or if you have not epilated for a longer
period of time, it may take a short time
for your skin to adapt to epilation. The
discomfort experienced in the beginning
will decrease considerably with repeated
use as the skin adapts to the process.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2-5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recom-
mend that you first shave (see section B)
and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs
a week later.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so
that any possible reddening can disap-
pear overnight. To relax the skin we
recommend applying a moisture cream
after epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

Preparing for use
• Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
• Before use, always make sure that the
epilation head (2) is clean and provided
with a cap (1).
• To change caps, press their lateral ribs
and pull off.
• To change heads, press the release
button (5).
A How to epilate
1 How to operate the appliance
Turn the on/off switch (4) to operate
the appliance:
Turn to position «I» = extra gentle
Turn to position «II» = extra efficient
As long as the appliance is switched
on, the light (3) illuminates the area
to be epilated. This gives you a better
control for improved epilation efficiency.
2 How to guide the appliance
• Always stretch your skin when
epilating.
• Always make sure that the epilation
area is in close contact with your
skin.
• Guide the appliance in a slow,
continuous movement without
pressure against the hair growth, in
the direction of the switch. As hair
can grow in different directions, it
may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimal results. The pulsat-
ing movements of the massaging
rollers stimulate and relax the skin
for a gentler epilation.
• If you are used to the sensation of
epilation, you may replace the
massage cap (1a) with the skin
contact cap (1b) which provides a
closer skin contact and an improved
adaptation to all body areas.
