important
Read this user manual carefully before you use the epilator and the Smart Tweezers
and save it for future reference.
Danger
- Keep the adapter dry.
- If you charge the epilator in the bathroom, do not use an extension cord (Fig. 2).
Warning
- Do not use the epilator, an attachment or the adapter if it is damaged. Do not
use the Smart Tweezers if they are damaged.
- If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced with one of the original type in
order to avoid a hazard.
- The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut off the adapter to replace it with
another plug, as this causes a hazardous situation.
- The epilator and Smart Tweezers are not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliances by a person responsible for their
safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the epilator
and Smart Tweezers.
- Keep the button batteries of the Smart Tweezers out of the reach of children
and pets. Button batteries are a potential choking hazard.
- Do not insert metal-containing material into the socket on the epilator to avoid
short circuiting.
Caution
- The epilator is only intended for removing women's body hair on areas below
the neck: underarms, bikini line and legs. Do not use it for any other purpose.
- For hygienic reasons, the epilator and Smart Tweezers should only be used by
one person.
To prevent damage and injuries, keep the operating epilator (with or
-
without attachment) away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads,
cords, brushes etc.
- Do not use the epilator and Smart Tweezers 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
epilate 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.
- Do not use bath or shower oils when you epilate under wet conditions, as this
may cause serious skin irritation.
- Do not clean the epilator and Smart Tweezers with water that is hotter than
shower temperature (max. 40°C).
- Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as
petrol or acetone for cleaning purposes.
- Charge, use and store the epilator at a temperature between 10°C and 30°C.
- Do not look directly into the Opti-light of the epilator to avoid being dazzled by
the light.
- Do not use the epilating head of the epilator without one of the epilation caps.
- Fully charge the epilator every 3 to 4 months, even if you do not use the epilator
for a longer time.
- Only use the Smart Tweezers on alkaline button batteries type L736H or AG3
(dia. 7.8 x 3.4mm).
