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).

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.

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

5To epilate the bikini line, stretch the skin with your free hand and
place the appliance perpendicularly onto your skin, without
exerting any pressure (fig. 11).
6Move the appliance slowly across the skin against the direction of
hair growth.
Shaving (HP6479 and HP6475 only)
You can use the shaving head to shave delicate body parts, such as your
underarms and bikini line.With the shaving head you will obtain a
smooth result in a comfortable and gentle way.
1Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2Remove the skin cooler.
3Remove the epilating head (fig. 12).
Grab the epilating head by the ribbed sections and move it in the
direction of the arrow indicated on the epilating head.
4Place the shaving head on the appliance and move it against the
direction of the arrow indicated on the shaving head until it snaps
home (fig. 13).
The shaving head can only be fitted onto the appliance in one way.
5Switch the appliance on by selecting the desired speed.
We advise you to use speed I.
6Place the shaving head onto your skin and move the appliance
slowly and smoothly against the direction of hair growth, while
pressing it lightly.
Exfoliating
Using the exfoliating head regularly improves the appearance of the
skin and reduces the risk of ingrown hairs. Do not use the exfoliating
head immediately before or within two days after epilation.
Only use the exfoliating head on your legs, not on your underarms or
bikini line.
