skin gets used to epilation, skin irritation decreases and
regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If the irritation has not
disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as
this allows any skin irritation that may develop to diminish
overnight.
Corded use
Do not run the appliance from the mains when the batteries are fully
charged.
1 To run the appliance from the mains, switch off the appliance and
connect it to the mains. Wait a few seconds before you switch on
the appliance.
Epilating the legs
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not
use any cream before you start to epilate.
1 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (Fig. ).
Select speed I for areas with little hair growth and for areas where bones
are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles.
Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair growth.
Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand
upright.
Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the epilating
head pointing forward. Move the appliance against the direction of
hair growth at a moderate speed. (Fig. 5)
Make sure both the epilating discs and the massaging element are in
proper contact with the skin.
Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.
If you are not completely satisfied with the epilation result, try
moving the epilator more slowly over your skin.
