Introduction
With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair quickly, easily
and effectively. It is suitable for removing hair from your legs, underarms
and bikini line.
The rotating discs catch even the shortest hairs (down to 0.5mm) and
pull them out by the root.The hairs that grow back are soft and thin.
Epilating with this new appliance leaves your skin smooth and hair-free
for several weeks.

Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and
save them for future reference.
◗Check if the mains voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds
to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗Only use the appliance in combination with the adapter supplied.
◗Do not use the appliance if the adapter or the appliance itself is
damaged.
◗If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced by one of the
original type in order to avoid a hazard.
ENGLISH6

◗The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut off the adapter to
replace it with another plug, as this will cause a hazardous
situation.
◗Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.
◗Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin or bath filled
with water.
◗Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the shower.
◗If you use the appliance in the bathroom, do not use an extension
cord.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗Only epilate the underarms and bikini line with the sensitive zone
cap attached.
◗To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running appliance away
from your scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords,
brushes etc.
◗Do not use the epilating head on irritated skin or skin with
varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs) or wounds without
consulting your doctor first. People with a reduced immune
response, or people who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia
or immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor first.
◗Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times
you use the epilator.This phenomenon will soon disappear as
your skin becomes used to epilation and the hairs become
thinner and softer. If the irritation does not disappear within
three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
◗Regular massages with a loofah may help to prevent ingrowing
hairs. Do not use the loofah immediately before or after
epilation.
◗Regular cleaning and proper maintenance ensure optimal results
and a long life for your appliance.
Preparing for use
◗Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease.
Do not use any cream before you start epilating.
◗Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure
your skin is completely dry when you start epilating.
ENGLISH 7

◗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.
◗As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may cause some
skin discomfort the first few times you use the epilator.This effect
will gradually diminish when you use the appliance more often.
Regrowth tends to be softer both in appearance and to the touch.
Using the appliance
◗Do not use the appliance near or over a washbasin or bath filled
with water (fig. 2).
◗Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the shower (fig. 3).
◗If you use the appliance in the bathroom, do not use an extension
cord (fig. 4).
◗Your epilator is equipped with a massage attachment that helps
to minimise the pulling sensation and gives you a more pleasant
feeling during epilation.The massage attachment pivots for
optimal contour following and can be easily detached for better
cleaning.

Epilating the underarms and bikini line
Your epilator comes with a sensitive zone cap that reduces the number
of epilating discs that are active.This makes the appliance ideal for
