Using the epilator

Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully before you use the

appliance for the rst time.

Note: You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to the mains.

Epilating tips

- Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating on

wet skin, as water relaxes the skin and makes epilation less painful

and gentler. The appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the

shower or bathtub.

- Wet: If you want, you can use your common shower gel or foam.

Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower.

Dry: Make sure your skin is clean and free from grease.

Do not apply any cream to your skin before you start to epilate.

- General: We advise you to epilate in the evening, as skin irritation

usually disappears overnight.

- General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hairs

have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that

you shave rst and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after

1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 3-4 mm.

- General: Use the skin stretcher to keep the skin tight on your arms or

upper legs. The skin stretcher helps to reduce the pain while epilating.

Epilating the legs with the epilator

- If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use

the epilating head with the basic epilation cap.

- If your hairs lie at on your skin, we advise you to use the active hair-

lift and massage cap. This cap not only lifts up the hairs but its active

massaging roller also minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.

Note: Remove the basic epilation cap by pressing its both sides (1) before you

attach another cap (2) or the skin stretcher.

1 Put any cap on the epilating head.
