Regular cleaning ensures better
performance.
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out.
Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the
rear side of the epilator head with the
brush dipped into alcohol. While doing so,
turn the tweezer element manually. This
cleaning method ensures best hygienic
conditions for the epilation head.
b Cleaning under running water:
Clean the appliance under running water
each time you have used it with shower
gel, shaving foam or any other bathing
additives.
Remove the cap. Hold the appliance under
hot running water. Then press the release
button (6) to remove the epilation head.
Thoroughly shake both, the epilation
head and the appliance to make sure that
remaining water can drip out. Leave both
parts to dry. Before reattaching, make sure
that they are completely dry.

Shaving
• Put on the shaver head attachment (8) by
clicking it in.
• Pressing one of the lock keys, turn the
switch clockwise to setting «II».
• Make sure the trim/shave selector is in the
«shave» position.
• Use the shaver head attachment on dry
skin only.
• For best results, always make sure that
both, the shaver foil (b) and the trimmer (c)
are in contact with the skin (A). Keeping
your skin stretched (B), slowly move the
appliance against the direction of hair
growth. The trimmer first raises all long
hairs and cuts them off. Then the flexible
foil follows to smooth away any stubble.
• When shaving or trimming in sensitive
areas, make sure that you always keep
your skin stretched to avoid injuries.
Contour trimming
For trimming precise line and contours, lock
the long hair trimmer by sliding the trim/
shave selector (e) to the position «trim» (C1).
Pre-cutting hair for epilation
If you choose to pre-cut your hair to the ideal
length for epilation, place the OptiTrim comb
(a) onto the shaver head. Slide the trim/shave
selector to the «trim» position.
Hold the appliance with the OptiTrim comb
lying flat on the skin. Guide it with the comb
tips against the hair growth as shown in
illustration C2.
N.B. As hair does not always grow in the
same direction, also guide the appliance
slightly diagonally or in different directions in
order to achieve best results.
Cleaning the shaver head
After each use, unplug the appliance.
