Caution
-
This appliance is only intended for removing
women's body hair on areas below the neck:
underarms, bikini line and legs. Do not use it

-
To prevent damage and injuries, keep
operating appliances (with or without
attachment) away from scalp hair, eyebrows,
eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc.
-
Do not use the appliance and exfoliation brush
on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins,
rashes, spots, moles (with hairs) or wounds
without consulting your doctor first.
-
People with a reduced immune response or
people who suffer from diabetes mellitus,
haemophilia or immunodeficiency should also
consult their doctor first.
-
Your skin may become a little red and irritated
the first few times you use the epilator. This
phenomenon is absolutely normal and quickly
disappears. As you use the appliance more
often, your skin gets used to epilation, skin
irritation decreases and regrowth becomes
thinner and softer. If the irritation has not
disappeared within three days, we advise you
to consult a doctor.
-
For hygienic reasons, the appliance and
exfoliation brush should only be used by one
person.
-
Do not use the epilating head, attachments or
the exfoliation brush if they are damaged or
broken, as this may cause injury.
-
Charge, use and store the appliance at a
temperature between 10°C and 30°C.
-
Make sure the socket is live when you charge
the appliance. The electricity supply to sockets
in mirror cabinets over washbasins or shaver
sockets in bathrooms may be cut off when the
light is turned off.

Preparing for use
Charging
Charging the epilator takes approximately 1 hour.
When the epilator is fully charged, it has a cordless
operating time of up to 30 minutes.
Switch off the appliance before you charge it.
1
Insert the appliance plug into the socket in
2
the bottom of the appliance (1) and put the
adapter in the wall socket (2). (Fig. 6)
The charging light flashes white to indicate
,
that the appliance is charging. (Fig. 7)
When the batteries are fully charged, the
,
charging light lights up white continuously for
20 minutes and then goes out (Fig. 8).
Batteries low or empty
-
When the batteries are almost empty, the
charging light starts to flash red. When this
happens, the batteries still contain enough
energy for a few minutes of epilating.
-
When the batteries are completely empty,
the charging light lights up red continuously.
To charge the epilator, see section 'Charging'
above.
Using the appliance
Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance
fully before you use the appliance for the first time.
Note: You cannot use the appliance while it is
connected to the mains.
Epilating tips
-
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry
when you start epilating.
-
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and
free from grease. Do not apply any cream to
your skin before you start to epilate.
-
We advise you to epilate before you go to
bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
-
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when
the hairs have a length of 3-4mm. If the hairs
are longer, we recommend that you shave first
and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1
or 2 weeks.
Epilating
Note: If you are new to epilation, start epilating with
the double wavy massage attachment to minimise
the pulling sensation of epilation. This attachment is
only intended for epilating the legs.
Note: To epilate the underarms or bikini line, use the
sensitive area cap that reduces the number of active
epilating discs.
Put the attachment on the epilating
1
head (Fig. 9).
Press the on/off button once to switch on the
2
appliance.
The appliance starts to operate at speed II,
,
which is the most efficient speed for epilating.
Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off
button a second time. Speed I is suitable for areas
with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for
areas where bones are located directly beneath the
skin, such as knees and ankles.
Stretch the skin with your free hand to
3
make the hairs stand upright. Place the
epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the
skin with the on/off button pointing in the
direction in which you are going to move the
appliance (Fig. 10).
-
Epilate your bikini line as shown in the
figure (Fig. 11).
-
Epilate your underarms as shown in the
figure (Fig. 12).
Move the appliance slowly over the skin
4
against the direction of hair growth while
pressing it lightly.
Press the on/off button a third time to switch
5
off the appliance.
Pull the attachment off the epilating
6
head. (Fig. 13)
Tip: To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a
moisturising cream immediately or a few hours after
epilation.
Tip: After epilation, use a gentle deodorant without
alcohol or a special deodorising cream for epilated
underarms.
Using the exfoliation brush
-
You can use the exfoliation brush dry or
wet to remove dead skin cells gently and
thoroughly. Make gentle circular movements
with the exfoliation brush for a soft exfoliating
effect. This helps to prevent ingrown hairs and
gives you smooth, soft and fresh-looking skin.
-
Brush your skin with the exfoliation brush one
day before and two days after epilating. After
this, use it 2-3 times a week. Scrub your legs
with gentle, circular movements, starting at the
ankles. (Fig. 14)
Note: When you use the exfoliation brush on dry skin,
do not use exfoliating creams, gels or foams.
Tip: To prevent dry skin in general, moisturise your
skin daily with your preferred moisturising cream.
Do not use the exfoliation brush immediately
after epilation, as this may intensify possible skin
irritation caused by the epilator.
Overheat protection
This function helps to prevent overheating of the
appliance.
Note: To avoid overheating of the epilator, do not
press the appliance too hard onto your skin. The
epilator works best when you move it over your skin
without exerting any pressure.
If the overheat protection is activated, the
appliance switches off automatically and the
charging light flashes red for 30 seconds.
You can reset the overheat protection by letting
the appliance cool down and then switch it on again.
Note: If the charging light starts to flash red again,
the appliance has not yet cooled down completely.
Overload protection
If you press the epilating head too hard onto your
skin or when the epilating discs of the epilating
head get blocked (e.g. by clothes etc.), the
appliance switches off and the charging light flashes
red for 5 seconds.
Turn the epilating discs with your thumb until you
can remove whatever is blocking the epilating discs.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents
or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to
clean the appliance.
Always keep the appliance and the adapter dry.
Never rinse them under the tap or immerse
them in water.
