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 recommend
that you shave first and epilate the shorter,
re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear
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.

Charging
• Before use, charge the appliance. For best
performance, we recommend that you
always use a fully charged appliance.
Using the special cord set, connect the
appliance to an electrical outlet with the
motor switched off. Charging time is
approximately 1 hour.
• The green charging light (5a) flashes to
show that the epilator is being charged.
When the battery is fully charged, the
charging light shines permanently. Once
fully charged, use the appliance without
cord.
• When the red low-charge light (5b) flashes,
reconnect the appliance to an electrical
outlet via the special cord set to recharge.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of
cordless operation time.
• The best temperature range for charging,
using and storing the appliance is between
15 °C and 35 °C. In case the temperature
is far beyond this range, the charging time
might be longer whereas the cordless
operation time might be reduced.
Getting prepared for ...
... dry usage
Your skin must be dry and free from grease or
cream.
... wet usage
The appliance can be used on wet skin, even
under running water. Make sure that the skin
is very moist in order to achieve optimum
gliding conditions for the appliance.
Additionally, you may apply some shower gel
to the moist skin for results that will leave
your skin beautifully soft and smooth after
wet epilation. After each wet usage with
shower gel or other bathing additives, clean
the appliance under running water.
• Before use, always make sure that epilation
head (2) is clean and provided with a cap.

pull off.
