Charging

Note: Charge the appliance fully before you use it for the first time.

Note: This appliance can only be used without cord.
To charge the appliance, insert the small plug into the socket in the bottom
of the appliance and put the adapter in the wall socket.
- The charge indicator flashes white (Fig. 2): the appliance is charging.

Charging takes up to 1.5 hours.

- The charge indicator lights up white continuously (Fig. 3): the appliance

is fully charged and has a cordless operating time up to 40 minutes.

- The charge indicator does not light up when the appliance is switched

on: the appliance contains enough energy to be used.

- The battery indicator flashes orange (Fig. 2): the battery is almost empty

and needs to be charged. Charge the appliance when you have finished
using it.

Note: If the appliance is fully charged but still connected to the mains, the
battery indicator flashes a few times when you press the on/off button. This
indicates that you should disconnect the appliance from the mains before
you can switch it on.

Quick charge

- When the battery is completely empty and you start charging it, the

battery indicator flashes white quickly.

- After approximately 15 minutes, the battery indicator starts flashing white

slowly. At this point, the battery contains enough energy for up to 10
minutes of epilation.

Using the appliance

Attaching and detaching heads

To attach a head, press it onto the handle ('click') (Fig. 4).

2 To detach a head, press the release button on the back of the appliance

(Fig. 5).

Attaching and detaching accessories

To attach an accessory, simply snap it onto the head ('click') (Fig. 6).

2 To detach an accessory, grab its front and back and pull it upwards off

the head (Fig. 7). To detach a comb, pull its back upwards with a
fingernail (Fig. 8).

Switching the appliance on and off

To switch on the appliance, press the on/off button once. Speed 2 is
selected automatically and speed light II lights up (Fig. 9).

2 If you want to select speed 1, press the on/off button again. Speed light I

lights up (Fig. 10).

3 To switch off the appliance, press the on/off button once more.
The integrated light goes on automatically to give you a better view while
you use the epilating head (Fig. 11). If you want to switch off the integrated
light, keep the on/off button pressed for 3 seconds when you switch on the
appliance.

Epilating, shaving and trimming

The appliance is suitable for use in the bath or shower, but it can also be
used dry. If you want to use creams or body lotion, apply them after you
have used the appliance.
For gentle, less painful epilation, use the appliance on wet skin with or
without your regular shower gel.
Slight skin irritation like red skin or red dots may occur after epilation. This is
normal. We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as any
redness or skin irritation usually disappears overnight.
Note: The appliance can only be used without cord.
1

When you epilate (with or without an accessory on the epilating head),
place the appliance on the skin at the angle shown in the illustration (Fig.
12).

2 When you use the appliance with other heads and accessories than the

epilating head, make sure you place the heads and accessories flat onto
the skin (Fig. 13).

3 When you use the appliance on sensitive areas, stretch the skin with

your free hand. When you use the appliance on your underarms, raise
your arm and put your hand on the back of your head to stretch the skin
(Fig. 14).

4 Move the appliance slowly against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 15).
Note: If you move the appliance over your skin too fast, you may not obtain
a smooth result.

Note: If your hairs are longer than 3-4mm, pretrim them for easier and more
comfortable epilation.

Epilating head

You can use the epilating head to epilate your legs, underarms and bikini
line.
Select speed 2 for most efficient epilation. Select speed 1 for areas with little
hair growth and for hard-to-reach areas such as knees and ankles.

Massage cap

You can attach the massage cap onto the epilating head to massage the
skin and minimize the pulling sensation of epilation during use.

Skin stretcher cap

You can attach the skin stretcher cap onto the epilating head. It keeps the
skin tight during epilation to reduce pain.

Delicate area cap

You can attach the delicate area cap onto the epilating head for more
comfortable epilation of delicate areas (e.g. the underarms and bikini line).
