GETTING STARTED
GENERAL INFORMATION ON EPILATION
The rotating tweezers catch even short hairs and pull them out by the root. The hairs that
grow back are soft and thin. Epilating leaves your skin smooth and hair-free for several
weeks.
If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a long period of
time, it may take a short while for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort
experienced at rst is considerably reduced with repeated use as the skin adjusts to the
process.
Using an epilator may cause reddening or irritation of the skin. This is a normal reaction
that will quickly disappear. However, you should consult your doctor if the irritation has
not disappeared within three days.
All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-growing hair depending on the
condition of the skin and hair. Regular exfoliation helps to prevent in-growing hair.
In some cases inammation of the skin could occur when bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g.
when moving the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epilation head
before each use will minimise the risk of infection.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
USEFUL TIPS
• When using an epilator for the rst time it is best to try it on a small area to get used
to the process of epilation.
• The optimum length for hair removal is between 2-5mm. Epilation is easier and
more comfortable.
• Take a warm bath or shower before epilating and exfoliate to remove dead skin
cells.
• This will make your skin more pliable, making the epilation process less
uncomfortable.
• Epilate in the evening so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight.
• After use you can use a body cream or aloe lotion to soothe the skin and reduce skin
irritation.
• Exfoliate regularly to avoid in-growing hair
EXFOLIATE
• Exfoliation prevents in-growing hairs. Ingrown hairs occur when the growing hair
curls up under the skin instead of growing out like it should. It results in an often
painful red bump and possible infection. Rubbing your skin with an exfoliation
glove in the shower or bath, or using a dry body brush will help reduce ingrown
hairs or infections.

• Before epilating ensure the skin is clean, dry and free from creams or oils.
• Rub the skin in the area to be epilated to lift short hairs to optimise hair removal.
• Ensure the Epilator is OFF and attach the power cord to the product and then to the
mains.
USING THE EPILATOR
1. Turn the epilator on to the desired speed:
• LOW is recommended for ne hair
• HIGH is recommended for coarse hair or stronger hair growth
2. Using your free hand, hold the skin taut to make the hairs stand upright.
3. Position the epilator at so that the tweezers are at a 90° angle and at against the
skin. The Ultimate Contour Cap will ensure the optimum tweezing angle (Figure A).
4. Using small circular motions, slowly and gently glide the epilator over the skin. This
circular motion is the most eective method and makes the process less
uncomfortable (Figure B).
5. Alternatively, guide the epilator in a slow, continuous movement against the hair
growth.
6. Repeat within each area until all unwanted hair is removed.
7. After epilating, turn the epilator o.
ARM/LEG EPILATION
Epilate from the lower arm/leg and slowly move upwards. To epilate behind the elbow/
knee, keep the arm/leg straight to stretch the skin (Figure C) .
UNDERARMS AND BIKINI
Please be aware that these areas are particularly sensitive. However this sensitivity will
reduce after repeated usage. For more comfort, ensure that the skin is held taut and that
the hair is at the optimum length of 2-5mm. If it has been an extended period of time
since you have removed hair, trim the hair with a Remington® bikini trimmer or cosmetic
trimmer before epilation (Figure D and E) .
It is recommended to use LOW speed or Detail cap for these sensitive areas.
FACIAL EPILATION
• Use the Detail Cap.
• Place epilator at a 90° angle to the skin and move the epilator head in a circular
motion.
• NOTE: Do not use for removing hair from the eyebrow.
• Keep the product away from hair on the scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes.
PRECISION LIGHT
• The built in precision light helps you to see every hair.

DETAIL CAP
• The detail cap is designed for small areas (including the face) and spot treatments.
• Ensure the epilator is switched o.
• Remove the Ultimate Contour or Massage Cap.
• Place the Detail Cap into the appropriate slots at the top of the epilator.
• Gently press the Detail Cap into place until you hear a “click”.
MASSAGE CAP WITH ALOE VERA
• The Massage Cap is designed for gentler epilation.
• Ensure the epilator is switched o.
• Remove the Ultimate Contour or Detail Cap.
• Place the Massage Cap into the appropriate slots at the top of the epilator.
• Gently press the Detail Cap into place until you hear a “click”.
SHAVER HEAD
• The shaver head provides a close shave for sensitive areas.
• Ensure the epilator is switched o.
• Press the head release button and remove the epilator head.
• Attach the shaver head until it clicks into place.
• Hold the shaver head at a 90° angle to the skin and move against the direction of
hair growth.
TRIMMING AND SHAPING
1. Attach the bikini comb to the shaver head.
2. Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and press down gently.
3. Edge and shape the areas as desired.
CAUTION
• For your protection your epilator may slow down or even stop if pressed too rmly
against the skin.
• Do not use the epilating head on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins, rashes,
spots, moles or wounds without consulting a doctor. People with reduced immune
response e.g. during pregnancy, or people who suer from diabetes mellitus,
haemophilia or immunodeciency should also consult their doctor before using
this product.
• For hygiene reasons do not let another person use your epilator. It is recommended
for use by one person only.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure long lasting performance of your epilator, clean the head assembly regularly.
Cleaning the epilation head after each use:
• Ensure the epilator is turned o and disconnected from the mains.
• Press the head release button and open the head assembly (Figure F).
• Turn the head assembly upside down.
• The epilator head can be removed and rinsed for cleaning. For optimal cleaning;
brush hairs from the tweezers before rinsing (Figure G).
• Although the epilator is suitable for use under running water, it is not
recommended to submerge the unit under water.
NOTE: Do not completely submerge in water. The epilator head can be submerged after
it has been removed from the epilator body.
TO REMOVE RESIDUE:
• To remove residue from the stainless steel tweezers, dampen a swab with alcohol.
• Gently run the swab over the tweezers until the residue has been removed.
• CAUTION: Make sure that the cotton swab is not soaked in alcohol as this may
damage the epilator.
CLEANING THE SHAVER HEAD AFTER EACH USE:
• Ensure the epilator is turned o and disconnected from the mains.
• Press the head release button and remove the shaving head.
• Remove the blade and trimmer assembly by placing your ngers either side of the
assembly and pulling upwards.
• Gently shake the blade and trimmer assembly to remove the hair. Use the cleaning
brush to brush the trimmers and shaver housing.
• Replace the blade and trimmer assembly.
NOTE: Never use the cleaning brush on the foil as damage may occur.
