How to epilate
Preparing your skin
Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Optional skin cooling: For the first few
epilations or if you have sensitive skin, you
can use the cooling application, recom-
mended by dermatologists to help reduce
possible skin irritation.
• Ensure that the gel pack has been in
the deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours
(for convenience you can store the gel
packs in the freezer).
• Insert the gel pack underneath the
glove’s transparent foil. Use only with
glove
.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove
on your leg.
• Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute,
longer if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immedia-
tely as described.
• Repeat cooling and epilating until
completion.
• While epilating, please ensure your skin
is dry.
Important: Apply cooling glove to the
same area for no longer than 2 minutes.
Keep away from sunlight. Do not use
gel pack when damaged. Dispose of in
household waste. Do not use if you are
hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or if
your skin suffers from sensory disturb-
ances, when suffering from cardiac dis-
eases or arterial circulatory disorders.
Preparing the appliance
• Before starting, thoroughly clean the
epilation head .
• To exchange epilation heads, press the
release buttons and remove the
epilation head . Replace it with the
underarm head or with the facial
head by clicking in.
• Plug the cord connector into the
socket and plug the transformer plug
into an electrical outlet.
1 Make sure one of the attachments
or is attached to the epilation head.
To turn on the appliance, slide switch
to the «optimal» setting. For
reduced speed, choose the «soft»
setting. The SmartLight illuminates as
long as the appliance is switched on.
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For
optimum performance hold the appli-
ance at a right angle (90°) against your
skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. As hair can grow in different
directions, it may also be helpful to
guide the appliance in different
directions to achieve optimum results.
The pain softener should always be
kept in contact with the skin, allowing
the pulsating movements to stimulate
and relax the skin for a gentler
epilation.
If you are used to epilation and look for
a faster way to efficiently remove hair,
attach the EfficiencyPro clip
. It
allows maximum skin contact and
ensures optimum usage so that more
hairs are removed in one stroke.
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretch-
ed out straight.
4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
For this specific application, the
underarm head
has been
developed. Thanks to its specific
design adapted to the contours of
these areas, it provides a gentle and
thorough epilation.
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning these areas are particularly
