motor switched off. Charging time is
approximately 1 hour.
• The green charging light (5a) flashes to show
that the epilator is being charged. When the
battery is fully charged, the charging light
shines permanently. Once fully charged, use
the appliance without cord.
• When the red low-charge light (5b) comes
on, connect the appliance to an electrical
outlet via the special cord set to recharge.
As a safety feature, it may happen that
in a low-charge mode, the appliance
turns off. Then both charging lights flash
(green/ red). In this case, simply turn
back the switch to «0» and recharge the
appliance as required.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of
cordless operation time. Maximum battery
capacity will only be reached after several
charging/discharging cycles.
• The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 5 °C and 35 °C.
Preparing for use
• In order to best prepare your skin for
epilation, use the Silk·épil pre-epilation
wipes included. Carefully wipe over the
area to be epilated and wait approximately
30 seconds before you start epilating. The
wipes leave your skin feeling cool and
fresh.
• Your skin must be dry and free from grease
or cream.
• Before use, always make sure that epilation
head is clean.
• Always make sure that the epilation head
(2) is provided with a cap.
• To change caps, press their lateral ribs and
pull off.
• To change heads, press the release button
(6).

A How to epilate

1 Turning on
• Press one of the lock keys and turn the
switch clockwise to setting 2 (optimum
setting). For reduced speed, choose
setting 1 (soft setting).
• The SmartLight comes on instantly
and shines as long as the appliance is
switched on. It reproduces an almost
daylight condition, thus revealing even
the finest hair and giving you a better
control for improved epilation efficiency.
2 How to guide the appliance
• Always stretch your skin when epilating.
• Always make sure that the epilation area
between the massaging rollers is in
contact with your skin.
• The pivoting caps automatically adapt to
the contour of your skin.
• Guide the appliance in a slow, continu-
ous 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 direc-
tions to achieve optimum results. The
pulsating movement of the massaging
rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a
gentler epilation.
• If you are used to the sensation of
epilation and prefer a faster way of
removing hair, attach the Efficiency cap
(1b) replacing the massage system (1a).
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an
upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.
