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.

local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗Only use the appliance in combination with the adapter supplied.
◗Do not use the appliance if the adapter or the appliance itself is
damaged.
ENGLISH6

◗If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced by one of the
original type in order to avoid a hazard.
◗The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut off the adapter to
replace it with another plug, as this will cause a hazardous
situation.
◗Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗Do not expose the appliance to temperatures lower than 5cC or
higher than 35cC.
◗To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running appliance away
from your scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords,
brushes etc.
◗Do not use the epilating head on irritated skin or skin with
varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs) or wounds
without consulting your doctor first. People with a reduced
immune response or people suffering from diabetes mellitus,
Raynaud's disease or immunodeficiency should contact their
doctor first.
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.
ENGLISH 7

◗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
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.
ENGLISH8

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).
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.
Shaving
You can use the shaving head to shave sensitive 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.
