Using the appliance Note: Clean the epilating head before first use. Epilation tips -- When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process. -- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating. -- Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you start epilating. -- Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. -- When you epilate for the first time, we advise you to epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that develops can disappear overnight. -- While epilating stretch your skin with your free hand. This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimise the pulling sensation. -- For optimal performance, place the appliance on the skin at right angles (90°) with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. Guide the appliance across the skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow, continuous movement without exerting any pressure. -- On some areas, e.g. the underarms, hair may grow in different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results. -- To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream after epilation. -- Fine hair that regrows might not grow up to the skin surface. The regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream (e.g. during showering) helps to prevent ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface. Connecting the appliance 1 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5). 2 Insert the adapter into the wall socket. Epilating the legs If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating with the double wavy massage element. This attachment relaxes the skin and minimises the pulling sensation of epilation. If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use the epilating head without any attachment. Only use the double wavy massage attachment on your legs. 1 Put the double wavy massage attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6). The procedure for placing the attachments onto the appliance is the same for all attachments. 2 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (Fig. 7). Preferably use speed II. Switch to speed I for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles. 3 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright. 4 Place the epilator perpendicularly onto the skin with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 8). 5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of hair growth. Press the appliance lightly onto the skin. Epilating the underarms and bikini line Your epilator comes with a sensitive area cap that reduces the number of active epilating discs. This makes the appliance ideal for epilating the sensitive areas of the body, such as the underarms and bikini line. The first few times you use the appliance, these areas are particularly sensitive to pain, but after repeated use the pain sensation diminishes. Note: You get the best results in the most comfortable way when the hairs are not too long (approx. 4mm). 1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated to remove any residues of deodorant, cream etc. Then dab the area dry. 2 Put the sensitive area cap on the epilating head (Fig. 9). 3 Switch on the appliance. Preferably use speed II. Switch to speed I for areas with little hair growth and for hard-to-reach areas. 4 Stretch the skin with your free hand. When epilating the underarms, raise your arm to stretch the skin. 5 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto your skin, with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. 6 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of the hair growth. -- Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 10). -- Epilate your underarms as shown in the figure. Move the appliance in different directions (Fig. 11). Cleaning and maintenance Note: Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged before you start to clean it. Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the appliance. -- Never rinse the appliance or the adapter under the tap (Fig. 12). -- Keep the appliance and the adapter dry (Fig. 13). Cleaning the attachments 1 Remove any attachment (double wavy massage attachment or sensitive area cap) from the epilating head (Fig. 14). 2 Remove loose hairs from the attachment with the cleaning brush. 3 Rinse the attachmen...
