optimising the lifetime of the batteries
- After you have charged the appliance for the first time, do not
recharge it between epilating or shaving sessions. Continue to use it
and only recharge it when the battery is (almost) empty.
- Discharge the batteries completely twice a year by letting the motor
run until it stops.
- If the appliance has not been used for a long time, it must be
recharged for 16 hours.
Preparing for use
Freezing the leg skin cooler
1 Put the skin cooler WITHOUT the insulating 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.
- To epilate hairs longer than 10mm: (Fig. 2)
1 shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer. In
this case, you can start to epilate right away.
2 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
