Important

future reference.The accessories supplied may vary
for different products.
Danger
- Keep the adapter dry.
- If you charge the epilator in the bathroom,
do not use an extension cord.
Warning
- The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut
off 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.
- Do not insert metal-containing material into the
socket on the epilator to avoid short circuiting.
- Always check the appliance before you use it.
Do not use the appliance if it is damaged, as this
may cause injury. Always replace a damaged part
with one of the original type.
Caution
- Never use water hotter than 40°C to rinse the
appliance. It is strongly recommended to rinse the
appliance with cold water to prevent bacterial
growth.
ENGLISH

- Only use this appliance for its intended purpose as
shown in the user manual.
- 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
used by one person.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep operating
appliances (with or without attachment) away from
scalp hair, face, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads,
cords, brushes, etc.
- Do not use the appliance on irritated skin or
skin 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.
- Charge, use and store the epilator at a
temperature between 10°C and 30°C.
- If your epilator is equipped with a light for optimal
epilation, do not look directly into the light to avoid
being dazzled by it.

without one of the epilation caps.

replace the batteries of the tweezers with batteries
of the original type.

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.

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.
