In some cases inflammation of the skin
could occur when bacteria penetrate the
skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over
the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epila-
tion head before each use will minimise
the risk of infection.
If you have any doubts about using this
appliance, please consult your physician.
In the following cases, this appliance
should only be used after prior consulta-
tion with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reac-
tions such as folliculitis (purulent hair
follicles) and varicose veins
– around moles
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.
diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud’s disease
– haemophilia or immune deficiency.
Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you either shave first
and epilate the shorter re-growing hairs
after 1 or 2 weeks.
When epilating for the first time, it is advis-
able to epilate in the evening, so that any
possible reddening can disappear over-
night. To relax the skin we recommend
applying a moisture cream after epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows might not grow up
to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent in-
growing hair as the gentle scrubbing action
removes the upper skin layer and fine hair
can get through to the skin surface.

How to epilate
• Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
• Keep in mind that epilation is more
comfortable when the hair is at the
optimum length of 2–5 mm (see section
«Some useful tips»).
• Before starting, thoroughly clean the
epilation heads ( and ).
• To change epilation heads, press the
release buttons on the left and the
right and pull off the epilation head.
• Plug the cord connector into the
socket and plug the transformer plug

1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch
to setting «2»
(«2» = normal speed, «1» = reduced
speed).
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
For optimum performance hold the
appliance 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. The SoftLift™ tips will make
sure that even flat lying hair is lifted and
removed thoroughly at the root.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
Both rollers of the 4-way moving pain
softener
should always be kept in
contact with the skin, allowing the
pulsating movements to stimulate and
