Introduction
With your new Satinelle ICE you can remove unwanted hairs quickly,
easily and effectively.The combination of the new ceramic epilating
system with the contour-following skin cooler and the massaging system
constitutes a revolution in epilation.Thanks to the natural numbing
effect of ice and massaging, the new Satinelle 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 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.

Preparing for use
Freezing the skin cooler
1Put the skin cooler WITHOUT the insulating sleeve in the
freezer or freezing compartment (***) at least 4 hours before
you start epilating.When the fluid has turned blue, the skin
cooler is ready for use.
Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is completely dry before you
freeze it.
BTIP: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.
◗Before epilating hairs longer than 1cm on sensitive skin areas,
shorten them with a trimmer or a pair of scissors.
◗Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times
ENGLISH 7

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.
◗We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as this will
allow any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
Epilating with the skin cooler
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not
use any cream before you start epilating.
1Slide the insulating sleeve onto the skin cooler (fig. 2).
The insulating sleeve prevents an unpleasant sensation of coldness in
your hand while using the appliance and keeps the skin cooler cold as
long as possible.
Occasionally the pivoting cooling head may freeze onto the skin cooler
and won't move when you take the skin cooler from the freezer.The
pivoting cooling head will start pivoting again after you have passed it
over your leg a few times.
2Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (fig. 3).
3Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put
the adapter in the wall socket.
4Switch the appliance on by selecting the desired speed (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.
5Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand
upright.
6Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the on/off
slide pointing towards you and move it against the direction of
hair growth at a moderate speed (fig. 5).
ENGLISH8

Make sure both the epilating discs and the skin cooler are in proper
contact with the skin.Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.
◗If you are not completely satisfied with the epilation result, try
moving the epilator more slowly over your skin.
7Use the tab on the bottom end of the appliance to remove the
appliance from the skin cooler (fig. 6).
Epilating without skin cooler
◗If you do not want to use the skin cooler, for instance because
you have grown accustomed to the sensation of epilation, you can
also use the appliance without the skin cooler.
◗Make sure that you place the epilator perpendicularly onto your
skin and that you move it against the direction of hair growth.
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.
1Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2Remove the skin cooler from the appliance and slide the
insulating sleeve off the skin cooler.
3Clean the pivoting cooling head of the skin cooler with a brush
or moist cloth after each use (fig. 7).
Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is completely dry before
freezing it again.
