diseases or skin irritation, such as severe acne, sunburn, skin infection, etc. Do not use the appliance
if you are taking steroid-based medication.
The appliance

Make sure the socket to which you connect the appliance is live. Check whether the voltage
indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage. Check whether contact pins
on the appliance are in proper contact with the contact points in the stand. If you use a socket in
a bathroom cabinet, you may need to switch on the light to activate the socket.When the light
