Possible
cause
The socket to
which the
appliance is
connected
does not
work.
The overheat
protection
has been
activated.
The overload
protection
has been
activated.
The batteries
are empty or
have been
inserted
incorrectly.
Solution
Make sure the socket is live. If you connect the
epilator to a socket in a bathroom cabinet, you
may need to switch on the light in the
bathroom to make sure the socket is live. You
could also use a working socket outside the
bathroom.
The epilator is equipped with integrated
overheat protection, which prevents the
epilator from becoming too hot. If the
overheat protection is activated, the appliance
switches off automatically. Then the speed lights
flash red for 30 seconds. To reset the overheat
protection, let the appliance cool down and
then switch it on again. To avoid overheating of
the epilator, do not press the epilator too hard
onto your skin .
If you press the epilating head too hard onto
your skin or when the rotating discs of the
epilating head get blocked (for instance
because a piece of clothing has got stuck
between the epilating discs) the epilator
switches off automatically. Then the speed lights
flash red for 5 seconds. Turn the epilating discs
with your thumb until you can remove
whatever is blocking the epilating discs. then
switch on the epilator again.
Replace the batteries or insert them correctly
(see picture user manual).
