Before first use
1) Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth both inside and outside
to remove any residual dust left over from transport. Dry it well
so that there is no moisture left in the appliance.
2) Place the appliance on a level and heat-resistant surface. Also
keep in mind that wax splashes may drip onto the surface. The
surface should therefore be easy to clean.
Automatic switch-off
After 60 minutes, the appliance will switch off automatically. After
55 minutes, the control lamp 2will start flashing to notify you that
the appliance is about to switch off automatically.
The automatic switch-off is not intended as a substitute for removing
the plug from the mains power after use! It is merely a safety feature!
Always remove the plug from the mains power socket when the ap-
pliance is not in use!
Preparing the appliance
Once the appliance is set up on a suitable surface:
1) Remove the wax discs 9from its packaging.
2) Add the required number of wax discs 9to the inner bowl 1.
Use the following standard values as an orientation aid. The values
may vary.

6 pcs.
This symbol, together with a date, on the packaging of the
wax discs 9indicates how long the product will last.
3) Put the lid 7on the appliance by placing the plastic tab in the
groove 5and then turning the lid 7clockwise slightly (see
fold-out page):
4) Insert the plug 3of the power cable into the socket 4on the
appliance.
5) Insert the plug into a mains power socket. The control lamp 2in
the base of the appliance comes on and the appliance heats up.
6) Stir the wax occasionally while it is melting.
As soon as the wax discs 9have melted (this takes about
25–30 minutes for 6 discs), you can start epilating.

GB│IE│NI│CY │ 11 ■
SWWS 240 C1
NOTE
► If you realise that you need more wax than you have melted,
you can add additional wax discs 9to the inner bowl 1.
Wait until the wax has melted before you start epilating.
► Melt a maximum of 6 wax discs 9at once.
Epilation
The skin regions that you want to epilate should be dry, clean and
free of care products, oils or fats.
NOTES
► Before first use, carry out a skin test to find out whether your
skin reacts to the treatment. Apply a small amount of melted
wax to an inconspicuous area of skin. After removing the
wax, check to see whether the skin reacts in any way over
the course of the next 24 hours. If you notice any skin reac-
tions, stop using this appliance. If in any doubt, seek medical
advice.
► If you have a tendency towards ingrowing hairs, carry out
regular peelings. These can prevent the hairs from growing
inwards.
► Always pull off the wax strips as close as possible to the skin
surface.
► Make sure that you don’t get any wax on your clothes. Wax
residue can be very difficult to remove and may discolour
clothing.

Legs
Once the wax discs 9are completely melted:
1) Open the lid 7by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it
upwards.
2) Pick up a little wax using the flattened edge of the spatula 8.
You can wipe off excess wax on the rim of the appliance.
3) Apply the wax to the skin in the direction of hair growth (from the
knee towards the heel). The wax strips should have the approxi-
mate thickness of an orange peel and the area of two spatulas 8
laid side by side. You may have to add wax. Try to make sure that
one end of the applied wax strip (the end nearer to your heel) is a
little thicker as you will need to be able to grip this end for removal.
4) After application, you can place the spatula 8into the tray 6
on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula 8projects over
the inner bowl 1.
5) Wait about 30 - 60 seconds until the wax is dry.
6) Pull the skin taut with one hand. Grip the wax strip by the thicker
end and pull it off with a rapid movement against the direction of
hair growth (from your ankle towards your knee).
Repeat the process for the remaining areas of skin.
7) When you are finished with the treatment, pull the plug from
the mains power socket to turn off the appliance. The control
lamp 2goes out.

Armpits
Once the wax disc 9is completely melted:
1) Open the lid 7by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it
upwards.
NOTE
► As armpit hairs tend to grow in different directions, they need
to be removed in at least two steps.
2) Raise your elbow upwards and hold it out behind you.
This tightens the skin in the armpit.
3) Pick up a little wax using the flattened edge of the spatula 8.
You can wipe off excess wax on the rim of the appliance.
4) Apply this immediately from the middle of the armpit upwards in
the direction of the elbow. The wax strips should be roughly the
thickness of orange peel. Try to make sure that one end of the
applied wax strip (the end nearer to your elbow) is a little thicker
as you will need to be able to grip this end for removal.
5) After application, you can place the spatula 8into the tray 6
on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula 8projects over
the inner bowl 1.
6) Wait about 30–60 seconds until the wax is dry.
7) Grip the wax strip by the thicker end (the end nearer to your
elbow) and pull it off downwards with a rapid movement against
the direction of hair growth.
8) To depilate the lower part of the armpit, apply the wax from the
middle of the armpit towards the bottom.
9) Wait about 30–60 seconds until the wax is dry.

10) Grip the wax strip at the lower end and pull it off upwards with
a rapid movement against the direction of hair growth.
11) When you are finished with the treatment, pull the plug from
the mains power socket to turn off the appliance. The control
lamp 2goes out.
Bikini zone
Once the wax disc 9is completely melted:
1) Open the lid 7by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it
upwards.
2) Pick up a little wax using the flattened edge of the spatula 8.
You can wipe off excess wax on the rim of the appliance.
3) After application, you can place the spatula 8into the tray 6
on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula 8projects over
the inner bowl 1.
NOTE
► When epilating the bikini zone, treat only small areas at
once. The skin is very sensitive.
4) Tighten the skin with one hand and apply the wax in the direc-
tion of hair growth (towards your inner thigh).
5) Wait about 30 - 60 seconds until the wax is dry.
6) Grip the wax strip by the thicker end (the end nearer to your
inner thigh) and pull it off downwards with a rapid movement
against the direction of hair growth.
Repeat the process for the remaining areas of skin.
7) When you are finished with the treatment, pull the plug from
the mains power socket to turn off the appliance. The control
lamp 2goes out.

After epilation
■ Clean the spatula 8(see section “Cleaning”).
■ You can remove small quantities of residual wax from your skin
using baby oil. If you do not have any baby oil, you can also use
olive oil or some other edible oil.
■ You skin may be slightly reddened after epilation. This is normal.
Run cold water over affected areas. This soothes the skin. If your
skin does not recover and/or you experience a burning sensation,
contact a doctor.

■ 16 │ GB│IE│NI│CY SWWS 240 C1
NOTE
► You do not need to clean the inner bowl 1and remove the
wax residues after every use. The wax remaining in the appli-
ance can be melted and reused for the next application!
► To reorder wax discs 9, contact our Customer Service (see
section “Ordering spare parts”).
■ Scrape the surplus wax off the spatula 8on the inside of the rim
of the appliance immediately after use.
■ Wipe the spatula 8as well as the rim of the appliance immedi-
ately after use with a cloth moistened with a little baby oil. This
will allow you to remove any still-soft wax residue. Preferably use
an old cloth as wax residue is extremely difficult to remove from
textiles. If you do not have any baby oil in the house, you can also
use olive oil or some other edible oil for cleaning. Make sure that
no wax residue remains in the grooves 5for locking the lid 7!
Wipe the spatula 8and the rim afterwards with a paper cloth to
remove any remaining oil.
■ If there is any wax left on the outside of the appliance, proceed
as follows:
–Ensure that the appliance is unplugged but still warm.
–Wipe the surface with a cloth moistened with a little oil.
–Make sure that no wax residue remains in the grooves 5for
locking the lid 7!
–Remove any oil residue with a clean paper towel.

Storage
NOTE
► You do not need to clean the inner bowl 1and remove the
wax residues after every use. The wax remaining in the appli-
ance can be melted and reused for the next application!
■ Once the appliance and the spatula 8have been cleaned as
described in the “Cleaning” section:
–Lay the spatula 8in the tray 6on the edge of the appliance
so that the spatula 8protrudes over the inner bowl 1.
–Put the lid 7on.
–Store the cooled-down appliance in a clean, dry location.
NOTE
► If you are unable to remove/turn the lid 7when you remove it
from storage, there is probably solidified wax between the lid 7
and the appliance. In this case, heat up the appliance for about
10 minutes (depending on the amount of wax) with the lid 7
closed. The wax will soften and the lid 7can now be removed.
