Preparing the facial sauna for use
• Unwind the power cable 5from the cable
storage 8.
• Place the heating unit 9on a level, non-slip and
water resistant surface.
• Using the measuring cup 0, fill the water bowl
with water. Orientate yourself to the scale on the
measuring cup 0, for how long you wish to use
the appliance (approx. 5, approx.10 or approx.
15 minutes). Use the scale that is appropriate to
the respective steam setting (Hi or Lo).
Warning!
NEVER fill the water bowl with a water volume that
exceeds the “Hi 15 min.” marking (in the measuring
cup 0). Otherwise, the water could overflow and
then permeate into the interior of the appliance.
This could damage the appliance irreparably!
• Position the face mask 1on the heating unit 9:
The lugs on the underside of the face mask 1
must grasp the recesses on the heating unit 9.
Then turn the face mask 1anti-clockwise so that
it sits firmly on the heating unit 9.
• Insert the plug 5into a wall power socket.
The Facial Sauna is now ready for use.
Utilisation
Attention!
This facial sauna may not be used if you suffer from
one of the following ailments:
• with acarodermatitis
• with erythrodermia
• with swellings in the facial area
• with heart illnesses
• with diabetes
• wounds in the facial area
• with eczema
• with psoriasis
Should you be pregnant or have other health issues,
consult your doctor before using the appliance.
Utilisation of the facial sauna prepares your skin
admirably for further treatments, for example deep
cleansing, moisture provision, face masks etc. The
steam invigorates the skin, opens the pores and
impurities can be better removed.
Operation
Prepare the facial sauna as described under
“Preparing the facial sauna for use”.
• Press once on the LO/HI/OFF button 7. The
control lamp 6glows green. The water in the
water bowl is heated just sufficiently to produce
a small amount of steam.
For more steam, press on the LO/HI/OFF button 7
once more. The control lamp 6glows red, the
water is heated further and so produces more
steam.
• Hold your face over the face mask 1.
Close your eyes and relax.

Attention!
Should you feel uncomfortable or perceive the
steam as unpleasant, either hold your face a little
further away from the face mask 1or reduce the
volume of steam. Should the feeling of discomfort
continue, terminate the utilisation.
• You can regulate the steam volume as follows:
Slide the steam regulator 4to the right, (in the
direction Max), to increase the steam volume.
Slide the steam regulator 4to the left, (in the
direction Min), to decrease the steam volume.
• When the water in the water bowl has evaporated,
the appliance switches off automatically. If you
wish to switch the appliance off prematurely, press
the LO/HI/OFF button 7repeatedly until the
control lamp 6extinguishes.
Using aroma and herb containers
You can enrich the steam with various herbs and
aromas. This can contribute to both relaxation and
the treatment of the skin.
Important:
Only those types of herbs and aromas can be em-
ployed that are intended and suitable for use in a
facial sauna.
Before connecting the face mask 1with the heating
unit 9:
• Press both locking devices on the lid of the aroma
and herb container 2together and take from it
the aroma and herb container 2.
• Place either the herbs or a cotton wool ball
sprinkled with aroma-essence into the aroma
and herb container 2.
• Press both locking devices on the lid of the aroma
and herb container 2together and replace it
on the aroma and herb container 2. Release
the locking devices so that the lid sits firmly.
• Now assemble the face mask 1on the heating
unit 9as described under “Preparing the facial
sauna for use”.
The rising steam will now be directed through the
aroma and herb container 2and thus takes on the
fragrance.
Cleaning and care
Danger!
Before cleaning the appliance, remove the power
plug 5and allow it to cool down! Risk of injury!
The facial sauna should be thoroughly cleaned after
every usage. If you do not, microbes could quickly
develop in the warm moisture which, with further
utilisation of the appliance, could lead to negative
effects on ones health.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive, aggressive or chemical cleaning
agents! These damage the surfaces of the appliance
and cause irreparable damage.
• Remove the face mask 1from the heating unit 9:
Turn the face mask 1clockwise until it can be
lifted off.
• Remove the lid from the aroma and herb con-
tainer 2:
For this, press the two locking devices together
until the lid allows itself to be removed.
