Introduction
With your new Satinelle ICE PREMIUM you can remove unwanted hairs
quickly, easily and effectively.The combination of the ceramic epilating
system with the contour-following skin cooler and the new
sonic massaging system constitutes a revolution in epilation.Thanks to the
natural numbing effect of ice and massaging, the new Satinelle ICE
PREMIUM 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 Satinelle ICE PREMIUM is suitable for all body parts and comes with
a sensitive area cap that has been specially developed for epilating
sensitive areas (underarms, bikini line).
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.

ENGLISH 7

Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst few times you
use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and quickly
disappears. As you use the appliance 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.
Always check the shaving head before you use the appliance. Do not
use the shaving head if the foil is damaged, as this may cause injury.
Do not use the peeling glove immediately before or after epilation.
The appliance contains two NiMH rechargeable batteries that may
harm the environment if not disposed of properly. See chapter
‘Environment’.
Do not expose the appliance to temperatures lower than 5°C or
higher than 35°C.
General
Regular massages with the peeling glove may help to prevent
ingrowing hairs.
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance ensure optimal results and
a long life for the appliance.
Noise level: Lc = 75.8dB [A].

2 Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put
the adapter in the wall socket.
The charging light goes on and stays on to indicate that the
appliance is charging.
The charging light does not go out or change colour when the
appliance is fully charged.
Optimising the lifetime of the batteries
After you have charged the appliance for the rst time, do not
recharge it between epilating or shaving sessions. Continue to use it
and only recharge it when the battery is (almost) empty.
Discharge the batteries completely twice a year by letting the motor
run until it stops.
Do not keep the appliance plugged into a wall socket all the time.
If the appliance has not been used for a long time, it must be
recharged for 16 hours.
Preparing for use
Freezing the leg skin cooler
1 Put the skin cooler WITHOUT the insulating sleeve in the freezer
or freezing compartment (***) at least 4 hours before you start to
epilate. When the uid has turned completely blue, the skin cooler
is ready for use.
Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is completely dry before you
freeze it.

General information about epilation
Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin
is completely dry when you start to epilate.

ENGLISH 9

When you use the appliance for the rst time, we advise you to try
it out on an area with only light hair growth.This helps you get
accustomed to the epilation process.
For optimal epilating results, the hairs should not be longer than 10
millimetres (Fig. 2)
To epilate longer hairs: (Fig. 2)
shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer. In
this case, you can start to epilate right away.
shave the hairs completely. In this case you can start to epilate after a
few days (the hairs must be at least 0.5mm long).
Your skin may become a little red and irritated the rst few times
you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal
and quickly disappears. As you use the appliance 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.
We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as
this allows any skin irritation that may develop to diminish
overnight.
Corded use
You can also use the appliance from the mains. However, to avoid
damage to the batteries, only use the appliance from the mains when
the batteries are empty.
1 To run the appliance from the mains when the batteries are empty,
switch off the appliance and connect it to the mains.Wait a few
seconds before you switch on the appliance.
Epilating with the leg skin cooler
Only use the leg skin cooler to epilate your legs.
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not
use any cream before you start to epilate.
1 Slide the insulating sleeve onto the skin cooler. (Fig. 3)

ENGLISH10

The insulating sleeve prevents an unpleasant sensation of coldness in your
hand while you use the appliance. It also keeps the skin cooler cold as
long as possible.
Sometimes the pivoting cooling head freezes onto the skin cooler and
does not move when you take the skin cooler from the freezer.The
pivoting cooling head starts to pivot again after you have passed it over
your leg a few times.
2 Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (Fig. 4).
3 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (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.
4 Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand
upright.
5 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the epilating
head pointing forward. Move the appliance against the direction of
hair growth at a moderate speed. (Fig. 6)
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 satised with the epilation result, try
moving the epilator more slowly over your skin.
6 Use the tab on the bottom end of the appliance to remove the
appliance from the skin cooler (Fig. 7).
Epilating without the leg 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.

ENGLISH 11

Epilating the underarms and bikini line
Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that reduces the number of
active epilating discs.This makes the appliance ideal for epilating the more
delicate areas of the body, such as the underarms and bikini line.
Note:You get the best results when the hairs are not too long (max.1cm).
Do not use the leg skin cooler to epilate your underarms and bikini
line.
1 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 8).
The sensitive area cap can only be tted onto the appliance in one way.
2 Switch on the appliance by selecting the desired speed. (Fig. 5)
We advise you to use speed II.
3 Stretch the skin with your free hand.
4 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto your skin, with the on/off
slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the
appliance.
5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of
the hair growth.
Epilate your bikini line as shown in the gure (Fig. 9).
Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure (Fig. 10).
6 For a cool sensation, you can dab the area you have just epilated
with a cloth soaked in cold water.
7 Remove the sensitive area cap from the epilator after use (Fig. 11).
Shaving
You can use the shaving head to shave sensitive body parts, such as your
underarms and bikini line.With the shaving head, you obtain a smooth
result in a comfortable and gentle way.

С новия Satinelle ICE PREMIUM можете да отстранявате нежеланите
косми бързо, лесно и ефикасно. Съчетанието от керамична
епилираща система със следващия контура охладител за кожа и
новата ултразвукова масажираща система представлява революция в
епилацията. Благодарение на естествения замразяващ ефект на леда
и на масажирането, новият Satinelle ICE PREMIUM прави епилацията
по-удобна и по-малко болезнена от когато и да било. Резултатът е
копринено гладка кожа и намаляване на растежа на космите до 50%,
ако използвате уреда редовно (на всеки 4 седмици).
Satinelle ICE PREMIUM е подходяща за всички части на тялото и се
предлага с капаче за чувствителни зони, което е разработено
специално за епилация на чувствителни места (подмишниците,
бикини линията).
Бързо въртящите се епилиращи дискове улавят дори и най-късите
косъмчета (до половин милиметър!) и ги изтръгват от корен. В
резултат на това кожата ви остава гладка до четири седмици, а
наново поникналите косми са меки и мъхообразни.
