A How to epilate
The epilation head (2) features the new
Close-Grip Technology to ensure extra
efficiency especially with short hairs: The
40 tweezers always keep close contact to the
skin to remove hairs as short as grain
of sand. Thanks to its pivoting feature, it
perfectly adapts to the body contours, for
maximum thoroughness.
The High-Frequency Massage System (1a)
soothes your skin effectively for an ultra
gentle epilation.
The EfficiencyPro cap (1b) for fast epilation
ensures maximum skin contact, positioning
the tweezers at the optimum position at all
times.
1 Turning on
• Press one of the lock keys and turn the
switch (4) clockwise to select your
preferred speed setting:
«I» = extra gentle
«II» = extra efficient
• The «smartlight» (3) comes on instantly
and shines as long as the appliance is
switched on. It reproduces an almost
daylight condition, thus revealing even
the finest hair and giving 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
between the massaging rollers is in
contact with your skin.
• The pivoting caps automatically adapt to
the contour of your skin.
• Guide the appliance in a slow, continu-
ous movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
14
switch. As hair can grow in different
directions, it may also be helpful to
guide the appliance in different direc-
tions to achieve optimum results. The
pulsating movement of the massaging
rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a
gentler epilation.
• If you are used to the sensation of
epilation and prefer a faster way of
removing hair, attach the EfficiencyPro
cap (1b) replacing the massage system
(1a).
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an
upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.
4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning, these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recom-
mend that you select speed setting «I» for
the first few epilation processes. With
repeated usage the pain sensation will
diminish. For more comfort, ensure that the
hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with
a towel. When epilating the underarm,
keep your arm raised up so that the skin
is stretched and guide the appliance in
different directions. As skin may be more
sensitive directly after epilation, avoid
using irritating substances such as deo-
dorants with alcohol.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely
event of the appliance overheating, it may
happen that the red low charge light shines
