Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely
event of the appliance overheating, it may

case, turn the switch back (5) to the position
«0» and let the appliance cool down.
Turning on
Press one of the lock keys (5a) and turn the
switch clockwise to select your preferred
speed setting:

The SmartLight comes on instantly and shines
as long as the appliance is switched on.
A Dual Epilation with the
Smoothing cap
Dual epilation with the Smoothing cap has
been designed and optimized for wet usage
with shave gel or foam on legs. If you want
to use the Smoothing cap for hair removal
in other body areas, please take extra care
because of the sharp blades. Skin needs to
be stretched during usage.
Start-up phase
In order to allow your skin to adapt to the new
hair removal process, it is most important that
you use the appliance once a week during
the first month of usage. After 3-4 usages,
with every hair being epilated once and the
hair re-growth adapted to the new process,
you will be able to enjoy long-lasting results
as with normal epilation, using the dual
epilator every 2-3 weeks.

How to use the Dual Epilator
• Before use, make sure that epilation head
(3) is clean. Attach the Smoothing cap (2).
For improved handling under wet
conditions, you may want to attach the
non-slip grip (7).
• Apply shave foam or gel on the wet skin.
• Stretching your skin, guide the appliance
in a slow, continuous movement without
pressure against the hair growth in the
direction of the switch.
• Make sure that the head is guided flat over
the skin. Its pivoting head perfectly adapts
to the skin contours. It first epilates and
then smoothens your skin in one stroke.
Thanks to the integrated blade, the
Smoothing cap provides increased
efficiency. You do not need to go several
times over the same area.
• Guide the dual epilator starting from the
lower leg in an upward direction. Keep
your leg stretched out straight when
removing hair in the area behind the knee.
Take special care to avoid injuries around
the ankles and on other bony areas.
• From time to time, rinse off the foam built
up on the Smoothing cap.
B Epilation
