Introduction
◗With your new Satin ICE you can remove unwanted hairs quickly,
easily and effectively.The combination of the proven epilating disc
system with the newly developed contour-following skin cooler
constitutes a revolution in epilation.Thanks to the natural
numbing effect of ice on the skin, the new Satin ICE makes
epilation more comfortable and less painful than ever.The result
is a silky-smooth skin and a hair growth reduction of up to 50%,
assuming you use the appliance regularly (every 4 weeks).
◗The Satin ICE is particularly suitable for the legs.Type HP6479
also comes with a skin cooler that has been specially developed
for epilating sensitive areas (underarms, bikini line).These areas
are particularly sensitive to pain, which this special skin cooler
helps to diminish.
◗The rapidly rotating epilating discs catch even the shortest hairs
(up to half a millimetre!) and pull them out by the roots.As a
result, your skin stays smooth for up to four weeks and regrowth
is soft and downy.

Preparing for use
Freezing the skin cooler
1Remove the protective sleeve from the skin cooler (fig. 1).
2Put the skin cooler WITHOUT the protective sleeve in the
freezer cassette and put it in the freezer or freezing
compartment (***) at least 6 hours before you start epilating
(fig. 2).
ENGLISH 7

Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is completely dry before you
freeze it.
◗Tip:You can store the skin cooler in the freezer permanently.
Using the appliance
General information about epilation
◗Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure
your skin is completely dry when you start epilating.
◗When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try
it out on an area with only light hair growth to get accustomed to
the epilation process.After epilation you can apply a mild cream
or body milk to soothe your skin and reduce skin irritation.
◗Before epilating longer hairs on sensitive skin areas, shorten them
with a trimmer or a pair of scissors.
◗We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as this will
allow any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
◗Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times
you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and
will quickly disappear.As you use the appliance more often, your
skin will get used to epilation, skin irritation will decrease and
regrowth will become thinner and softer. If the irritation has not
disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
◗Epilation can lead to ingrown hairs or minor skin injuries, which
may cause inflammations due to penetration of bacteria into the
skin. It is therefore important to clean the epilating head very
carefully after each use.
Epilating the legs
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not
use any cream before you start epilating.
1Slide the protective sleeve onto the skin cooler (fig. 3).
The protective sleeve prevents an unpleasant sensation of coldness in
your hand while using the appliance.
ENGLISH8

Occasionally the pivoting head may freeze onto the skin cooler and
doesn't move when you take the skin cooler from the freezer.The
pivoting head will start pivoting again after you have passed it over your
leg a few times.
2Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (fig. 4).
3Insert the appliance plug into the inlet socket and put the adapter
in the wall socket.
4Switch the appliance on by selecting the desired speed (fig. 5).
Select speed I for areas with little hair growth and for areas where
bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles.
Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair growth.
5Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand
upright.
6Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin and move it
against the direction of hair growth (fig. 6).
Make sure both the epilating discs and the skin cooler are in proper
contact with the skin.
Do not press the appliance onto the skin.
Epilating underarms and bikini line (HP6479 only)
The special skin cooler for the underarms and bikini line reduces the
number of active epilating discs. Combined with the large cooling
surface, this skin cooler makes epilating sensitive areas less painful.You
will get the best results when the hairs are not too long (max. 1 cm).
1Slide the protective sleeve onto the skin cooler (fig. 7).
2Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (fig. 8).
3Switch the appliance on by selecting the desired speed (fig. 9).
We advise you to use speed II.
4To epilate the underarm area, place one arm behind your head to
stretch the skin and place the appliance perpendicularly onto the
skin with the hand of the other arm (fig. 10).
ENGLISH 9

Introduction
◗Avec votre nouvel épilateur Satin ICE vous pouvez enlever les
poils rapidement et efficacement. La combinaison d'un système
d'épilation à disques déjà éprouvé avec le nouvel applicateur de
froid qui suit les contours amène une évolution notable dans la
technique d'épilation. Grâce à l'effet naturel anesthésiant de la
glace sur la peau, le nouvel épilateur Satin ICE rend l'épilation plus
confortable et moins douloureuse comme jamais elle ne l'a été.
Le résultat sera une peau plus douce et sans poils et la repousse
sera diminuée de 50% si vous vous épilez régulièrement toutes
les quatre semaines.
◗Votre épilateur Satin ICE est particulièrement adapté à l'épilation
de vos jambes. Le modèle HP6479 est doté d'un applicateur de
froid spécialement conçu pour l'épilation des zones sensibles
(aisselles et maillot). Cet applicateur de froid spécial réduit la
sensation de douleur ressentie lors de l'épilation des zones
sensibles.
◗Les disques rotatifs attrapent même les poils les plus courts
(jusqu'à un demi millimètre!) et les retirent à partir de la racine.
Ainsi votre peau reste lisse jusqu'à quatre semaines et le poil de
repousse est doux et fin.

l'adaptateur correspond à la tension de votre secteur.
◗Utilisez l'appareil uniquement avec l'adaptateur fourni.
◗N'utilisez pas l'appareil lorsque l'adaptateur ou l'épilateur est
endommagé.
◗Si l'adaptateur est endommagé, pour plus de sécurité et pour
éviter tout accident, il ne doit être remplacé que par un
adaptateur d'origine.
◗L'adaptateur a un transformateur. N'essayez pas de remplacer
l'adaptateur secteur par un autre pour éviter tout accident.

Assurez-vous que l'applicateur de froid est parfaitement sec avant de le
congeler.
◗Suggestion:Vous pouvez conserver l'applicateur de froid dans le
freezer du réfrigérateur en permanence.
Mode d'emploi
Epilation en général
◗Les poils sont plus faciles à épiler après un bain ou une douche.
Mais votre peau doit être complètement sèche durant l'épilation.
◗Quand vous utilisez l'appareil pour la première fois, nous vous
conseillons de commencer par un endroit avec peu de croissance
de poils de manière à vous habituer à l'épilation.Après utilisation,
vous pouvez appliquer une crème hydratante ou un lait corporel
qui aidera à calmer la peau et à réduire l'irritation.
◗Lorsque les poils dans les zones sensibles sont longs, coupez-les
avec une tondeuse ou des ciseaux avant de vous épiler.
◗Il est conseillé de s'épiler le soir, afin de laisser les irritations
disparaître pendant la nuit.
◗Pendant les premières utilisations l'épilateur peut provoquer un
rougissement ou une irritation de la peau. Il s'agit d'une réaction
normale qui disparaîtra rapidement. La gêne ressentie au début
diminuera graduellement à chaque utilisation car la repousse a
tendance à être plus douce au toucher. Cependant, si l'irritation
persiste plus de trois jours, consultez votre médecin.
◗Les poils incarnés ou les blessures superficielles peuvent
provoquer des inflammations à cause de la pénétration des
bactéries au-dessous de la peau. Il est donc très important de
nettoyer la tête d'épilation après chaque utilisation.
Epilation des jambes
Assurez-vous que votre peau est propre, sans graisse ni crèmes.
N'appliquez aucune crème avant l'épilation.
