jPress and hold down the safety lock button in the middle of the On/
Off switch 6and slide the switch upwards into setting “I” or “II”:
Setting 1 (slower speed) for particularly sensitive or difficult to
access parts of your body.
Setting 2 (higher speed) for quicker epilating of larger, less sensi-
tive areas (e.g. legs, arms).
Q Epilating
DANGER OF SKIN IRRITATION!
JWhen using the epilator do not pass it too often over the same
part of your skin. Do not apply too much pressure!
JDo not use body lotion or any other kind of similar substance
(e.g. cosmetics) before using your epilator!
Not observing this advice may result in the tweezers not being
able to capture the hairs properly; the tweezers become sticky
and their epilation effect is reduced.
Tip: Test your skin sensitivity first by trying the epilator on a small
patch of skin.
jWash the area to be treated with warm soapy water.
jDry the skin carefully.
jRub the skin to be epilated against the direction of hair growth
with a rough sponge or luffa glove to make the hair stand up.
