the adapter to replace it with another plug,
as this causes a hazardous situation.
- This appliance can be used by children aged from
8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
- Always unplug the appliance before you clean it
under the tap.

ENGLISH

- Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol
or acetone to clean the appliance.
- Make sure the socket is live when you charge
the appliance.The electricity supply to sockets in
bathrooms may be cut off when the light is turned off.
- For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only be

with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs)
or wounds without consulting your doctor rst.
People with a reduced immune response or people
who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or
immunodeciency should also consult their doctor rst.
- Your skin may become a little red and irritated the
rst few times you use an epilator. This phenomenon
is absolutely normal and quickly disappears.As you
epilate 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.
- Do not use any exfoliation brush immediately after
epilation, as this may intensify possible skin irritation
caused by the epilator.
- Do not use bath or shower oils when you epilate
under wet conditions, as this may cause serious skin
irritation.

Preparing for use
Charging
- Charging the epilator takes approx. 1 hour.When the epilator is fully
charged, it has a cordless operating time of up to 40 minutes.
1 Connect the small plug to the appliance (1) and the mains plug to
the wall socket (2).
,The charging light pulsates white to indicate that the appliance is
charging.When the batteries are fully charged, the charging light
lights up white continuously for 20 minutes and then goes out.
Batteries low or empty
- When the batteries are almost empty, the charging light starts to ash
red.When this happens, the batteries still contain enough energy for a
few minutes of operation.
- When the batteries are completely empty, the appliance stops
operating and the charging light lights up red continuously.To charge
the epilator, see ‘Charging’ above.
ENGLISH 7

Using the epilator
Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully before you use the
appliance for the rst time.
Note:You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to the mains.
Epilating tips
- Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating on
wet skin, as water relaxes the skin and makes epilation less painful
and gentler.The appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the
shower or bathtub.
- Wet: If you want, you can use your common shower gel or foam.
- Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower.
- Dry: Make sure your skin is clean and free from grease. Do not apply
any cream to your skin before you start to epilate.
- General: We advise you to epilate in the evening, as skin irritation
usually disappears overnight.
- General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hairs
have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that
you shave rst and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or
2 weeks.Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 3-4 mm.
- General: Use the skin stretcher to keep the skin tight on your arms or
upper legs.The skin stretcher helps to reduce the pain while epilating.
Epilating the legs with the epilator
- If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use
the epilating head with the basic epilation cap.
- If your hairs lie at on your skin, we advise you to use the active hair-
lift and massage cap.This cap not only lifts up the hairs but its active
massaging roller also minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.
Note: Remove the basic epilation cap by pressing its both sides (1) before you
attach another cap (2) or the skin stretcher.
1 Put any cap on the epilating head.
ENGLISH8

2 Press the on/off button once to switch on the appliance.
,The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is the most
efcient speed for epilating.
Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time.
Note: Speed I is suitable for areas with little hair growth and for hard-to-reach
areas, such as knees and ankles.
3 If you are not using the skin stretcher, stretch the skin with your free
hand to make the hairs stand upright (1). Place the epilating head at
an angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/off button pointing in the
direction in which you are going to move the appliance (2).
Note: If you are using the skin stretcher you do not need to stretch your skin
anymore.The skin stretcher also ensures that you keep the appliance on your
skin at the right angle. Make sure that the skin stretcher is in contact with your
skin as shown in the gure.
4 Slowly move the appliance over the skin against the direction of the
hair growth while pressing it lightly.
Tip:To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately
or a few hours after epilation. For the underarms, use a mild deodorant without
alcohol.
Shaving the underarms and bikini line
Use the shaving head to shave sensitive areas, such as the underarms and
the bikini line.
Note:To get the best shaving results, use the shaving head on a dry skin. If you
want to use the shaving head in the bath or shower, we advise you to use your
common shower gel for a more gentle shave.
