Introduction
With your new epilator you can remove unwanted hair quickly, easily and
effectively. It is suitable for removing hair from your legs, underarms and
bikini line.
The rotating discs catch even the shortest hairs (down to 0.5mm) and
pull them out by the root.The hairs that grow back are soft and thin.
Epilating with this new appliance leaves your skin smooth and hair-free for
several weeks.
This epilator comes with a massage attachment and an efciency cap. The
massage attachment helps to minimise the pulling sensation and gives you
a more pleasant feeling during epilation.The massage attachment pivots
for optimal contour following and can be easily detached for better
cleaning. The efciency cap ensures maximum skin contact for more
efcient epilation.

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 or the trimmers are damaged, as this
may cause injury.
Do not use the peeling glove immediately before or after epilation.
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.

General information about epilation
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.
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do
not use any cream before you start to epilate.

Epilation is easier just after a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is
completely dry when you start to epilate.
We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as this allows
any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
For optimal epilation results, the hairs should not be longer than
10mm. Use one of the following methods if the hairs are longer than
10mm:
1 Shorten the hairs to a maximum length of 10mm with a trimmer.
Afterwards you can immediately start with epilation.
2 Shave the hairs completely. Then you can start to epilate after a few
days (minimum hair length 0.5mm necessary).
As the hairs are removed by the root, epilation may cause some skin
discomfort the rst few times you use the epilator. This
effect gradually diminishes when you use the appliance more often.
Regrowth tends to be softer both in appearance and to the touch.

If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating with the
pivoting massage attachment. This attachment relaxes the skin and eases
the sensation of epilation.
If you are used to epilation, use the efciency cap. The efciency cap
ensures maximum skin contact and allows you to epilate your legs more
quickly and efciently.
Only use the efciency cap on your legs.
1 Put the desired attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6).
2 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance.
Select speed I for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas
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.

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).
1 Put the massage attachment on the epilating head. (Fig. 8)
2 Hook the curved strip of the sensitive area cap behind the ridge
just in front of the massage beads (1).Then press the front of the
cap downwards (2) (‘click’) (Fig. 9).
3 Switch on the appliance.
We advise you to select speed II.
4 Stretch the skin with your free hand.
5 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 (Fig. 7).
