ABOUT YOUR EPILATOR
EP1000AU SPECIFICATIONS
Power System Corded
Voltage Type AC Adaptor - 100-240V
GENERAL INFORMATION ON EPILATION
The Remington®Smooth EP1 Epilator has been designed to make the
removal of unwanted hairs as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. The
epilation head and cap are especially designed to follow the contours of
your body that channel fine, short and flat hair into the tweezer discs,
leaving the skin silky smooth.
The rotating tweezers remove hair as short as 0.5mm. The hair is pulled out
from the root.
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 time for your skin to adapt to this type
of hair removal system. The discomfort that you feel at first is considerably
reduced overtime, as your skin adjusts to the process.
Using an epilator may cause reddening or irritation of the skin. This is a
normal reaction and will disappear quickly. However you should contact
your doctor if the irritation has not disappeared within 3 days.
All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-grown hairs
depending on the condition of the skin and the hair. Regular exfoliation
helps to prevent in-grown hairs.
In some cases inflammation of the skin can occur when bacteria penetrates
the skin (when gliding the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleansing
of the epilation head and caps after each use will minimise the risk of
infection.

Some Useful Tips
• When using an epilator for the first time, it is best to try it on a small
area first. This will help the skin adjust to the process of epilation.
• The optimum length of the hair for epilation is 2 – 5mm. If hairs are
longer we recommend that you shave or trim the hair first with a
Remington®shaver or a Remington®bikini trimmer and epilate the
shorter re-grown hairs after 1-2 weeks.
• Take a warm bath or shower before epilating and exfoliate to remove
the dead skin cells. This will ensure that your skin is pliable, making
the epilation process less uncomfortable.
• It is advisable to epilate in the evening, so that any possible redness
can disappear overnight.
• After using your epilator you can use a body cream or aloe lotion to
soothe the skin and reduce irritation.
• Regularly exfoliate after epilation to avoid in-grown hairs.

HOW TO USE
Note: This epilator operates in corded mode only.
Before epilating, make sure your skin is clean, dry and free from creams or
oils. Ensure that the On/Off switch is in the Off position. Turn the epilator
on ensuring that you press the switch lock in with your thumb. Set to the
desired speed. Low speed is recommended for fine hair and High speed is
recommended for course hair or stronger hair growth.
Using your free hand, hold the skin taut so that the
hairs stand upright. Position the epilator so that
the stainless steel discs are at a 90º angle and flat
against the skin. The Remington®epilator attachment
heads are designed to ensure maximum contact
to the skin to maximise the hair removal process.
(Diagram A)
Glide the epilator in a slow continuous movement
against the hair growth. Do not apply pressure as the
epilator will slow down or even stop. Repeat until all
unwanted hair is removed. After epilating, turn the
epilator Off.
Arm/Leg Epilation
Begin by epilating from the lower arm or leg and
slowly move upwards. To epilate behind the elbow or
knee keep the arm or the leg straight to stretch the
skin. (Diagram B)
Underarm and Bikini Line Epilation
Please be aware that these areas are particularly
sensitive to epilation. However this sensitivity will
reduce after repeated usage. For more comfort,
ensure that the skin is held taut and the hair is at the
optimum length of 2-5mm.
When epilating the underarm keep your arm raised so
that the skin is stretched. Directly after epilation avoid
using irritating substances, such as deodorants with
alcohol. (Diagram C)
When epilating the bikini line hold the skin around the bikini line area taut,
and glide the epilator in a circular motion. (Diagram D)

CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Epilator Head and Attachment Caps
Note: Do not submerge the epilator body under water
To ensure long lasting performance of your epilator it is important to clean
the head assembly and attachment regularly. Always
keep the cap on the epilation head when it is not in
use to prevent damage to the barrel.
• Ensure that the epilator is turned off and
disconnected from the mains.
• Pull the cap attachment away from the body of
the epilator.
(Diagram E)
• Using the cleaning brush provided brush the accumulated hair from
the tweezers by slowly turning the barrel. Alternatively, remove the
attachment cap from body of the epilator and rinse the cap and barrel
under running water.
• Allow to dry completely before reattaching the cap.
• Replace the cap attachment back onto the body of the epilator.
Note: The body of the epilator is NOT washable or suitable for cleaning
under water.
Lubricating the Head After Contact With Water
Once a month Remington®recommends that after rinsing the epilation
barrel with water, that a light-grade oil (such as sewing machine oil) be
used to libricate the tweezers. Simply spread 1-2 drops lightly over the
epilator barrel with your fingertip and wipe away all excess oil.
DO NOT use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or solvent as
these will evaporate.
