Introduction
With your new Satinelle MASSAGE PREMIUM you can remove
unwanted hairs quickly, easily and effectively.The combination of
the ceramic epilating system with the new active massaging system
constitutes a revolution in epilation.Thanks to the natural numbing effect
of massaging, the new Satinelle MASSAGE PREMIUM 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 rapidly rotating epilating discs catch even the shortest hairs (down to
0.5 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.

Using the appliance
General information about epilation
Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin
is completely dry when you start to epilate.
When you use the appliance for the rst time, we advise you to try
it out on an area with only light hair growth.This helps you get
accustomed to the epilation process.
For optimal epilating results, the hairs should not be longer than 10
millimetres (Fig. 3)
To epilate longer hairs: (Fig. 3)
shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer. In
this case, you can start to epilate right away.
shave the hairs completely. In this case you can start to epilate after a
few days (the hairs must be at least 0.5mm long).
Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst few times
you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal
and quickly disappears.As you use the appliance more often, your

skin gets used to epilation, skin irritation decreases and
regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If the irritation has not
disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as
this allows any skin irritation that may develop to diminish
overnight.
Corded use
Do not run the appliance from the mains when the batteries are fully
charged.
1 To run the appliance from the mains, switch off the appliance and
connect it to the mains.Wait a few seconds before you switch on
the appliance.
Epilating the legs
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not
use any cream before you start to epilate.
1 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (Fig. 4).
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.
2 Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand
upright.
3 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the epilating
head pointing forward. Move the appliance against the direction of
hair growth at a moderate speed. (Fig. 5)
Make sure both the epilating discs and the massaging element are in
proper contact with the skin.
Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.
If you are not completely satised with the epilation result, try
moving the epilator more slowly over your skin.

Epilating the underarms and bikini line
Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that reduces the number of
active epilating discs and stretches the skin during epilation.This makes
the appliance ideal for epilating the more delicate areas of the body, such
as the underarms and bikini line.
Tip: You get the best results when the hairs are not too long.
1 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 6).
The sensitive area cap can only be tted onto the appliance in one way.
2 Switch on the appliance. (Fig. 7)
We advise you to select speed II.
3 Stretch the skin with your free hand.
4 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto your skin, with the on/off
slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the
appliance (Fig. 5).
5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of
the hair growth (Fig. 5).
Epilate your bikini line as shown in the gure (Fig. 8).
Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure (Fig. 9).
For a cool sensation, you can dab the area you have just epilated with
a cloth soaked in cold water.
6 Remove the sensitive area cap from the epilator after use (Fig. 10).
Using the exfoliating body puff
Use the exfoliating body puff in the shower.
Regular massages with the puff may help to prevent ingrown hairs. Do
not use the puff immediately before or after epilation.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never rinse the adapter or the appliance itself with water.
Do not use any corrosive detergents, scouring pads or cloths, petrol,
acetone etc. to clean the appliance.
