Before starting off

Preparing your skin
Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Optional skin cooling: For the first few
epilations or if you have sensitive skin you
can use the cooling application, recom-
mended by dermatologists to help reduce
possible skin irritation.
• Ensure that the gel pack has been in
the deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours
(for convenience you can store the gel
pack in the freezer).
• Insert the gel pack underneath the
glove's transparent foil. Use only with
glove.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove
on your leg.
• Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute,
longer if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immediately
as described in section «How to epilate».
• Repeat cooling and epilating until
completion.
• While epilating, please ensure your skin
is dry.
Important: Apply cooling glove to the
same area for no longer than 2 minutes.
Keep away from sunlight. Do not use

household waste. Do not use if you are
hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or
if your skin suffers from sensory disturb-
ances, when suffering from cardiac dis-
eases or arterial circulatory disorders.

How to epilate

1 Make sure one of the clips

to the «optimal» setting. For reduced
speed, choose the «soft» setting. The
SmartLight illuminates as long as the
appliance is switched on.
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For
optimum performance hold the appli-
ance at a right angle (90°) against your
skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against the
hair growth, in the direction of the switch.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
