Problem Cause
Solution
The
overheat
protection
has been
activated.
When the epilator
stops working and
the speed setting
indications start
flashing red, the
overheat protection
has been activated.
Let the appliance
cool down. The lights
stop flashing after 30
seconds. When the
appliance has cooled
down, switch on the
epilator again. If the
lights start flashing
again, the epilator has
not yet cooled down
sufficiently.
The overload
protection
is activated
because
something
got caught
between
the rotating
tweezers or
because you
pressed the
appliance too
hard onto
your skin.
When the overload
protection has been
activated, the speed
setting indications flash
red. Turn the tweezers
with your thumb
until you can easily
remove the item that
is blocking the rotating
tweezers. Then switch
on the appliance
again. Do not press
the appliance too hard
onto your skin.

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common
problems you could encounter with the
appliance. If you are unable to solve the
problem with the information below, contact
the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Cause
Solution
The
epilator
does
not
work.
The socket
to which the
appliance is
connected
does not
work.
Make sure the socket
is live. If you connect
the epilator to a socket
in a bathroom cabinet,
you may need to
switch on the light in
the bathroom to make
sure the socket is live.
You could also use a
working socket outside
the bathroom.
Do not press the appliance too hard onto the
skin.
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.
- Clean the appliance after each use to
ensure better performance.
- Never rinse the appliance or the adapter
under the tap (Fig. 10).
- Keep the appliance and the adapter dry (Fig. 11).
Cleaning the attachments
1
Remove the attachment from the epilating
head (Fig. 5).
2
Remove loose hairs from the attachments
with the cleaning brush (Fig. 12).
3
Rinse the attachments with lukewarm water
while turning them (Fig. 13).
4
Dry the attachments before you use or store
them.
Cleaning the epilating head of the
epilator
1
Press the release knob (1) and remove the
epilating head from the appliance (2) (Fig. 14).
2
Remove loose hairs with the cleaning
brush (Fig. 15).
3
Rinse the epilating head under the tap for
5-10 seconds while turning the tweezers with
your thumb (Fig. 16).
Note: Never try to detach the epilating tweezers from
the epilating head.
4
Shake the epilating head firmly (Fig. 17).
5
Dry the epilating head thoroughly with a
tea towel.

luxury pouch.
Tip: Speed I is suitable 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.
,
When you press the on/off button a third
time, the epilator switches off.
4
Stretch the skin with your free hand to make
the hairs stand upright.
5
Place the epilating head at an angle of 90°
onto the skin with the on/off button pointing
in the direction in which you are going to
move the appliance (Fig. 9).
6
Move the appliance slowly over the skin
against the direction of hair growth.
- When you use the optimal performance
cap, make sure that both rollers of the skin
stretcher always stay in contact with the skin to
ensure an optimal result.
- When you use the active hairlifter with active
massage, make sure the active massaging roller
and the active hairlifter always stay in contact
with the skin. The massaging roller stimulates
and relaxes the skin for a gentler epilation.
Overheat protection
The epilator has an integrated overheat protection,
which prevents overheating of the appliance.
Note: To avoid overheating of the epilator, do not
press the appliance too hard onto your skin. The
epilator works best when you move it over your skin
without exerting any pressure.
1
If the overheat protection is activated, the
appliance switches off automatically and the
speed setting indications flash red.
2
Let the appliance cool down.
,
The lights stop flashing after 30 seconds.
3
When the appliance has cooled down, you
can switch it on again. If the lights start to
flash red again, the appliance has not yet
cooled down completely.
Overload protection
If you press the epilating head too hard onto
your skin or when the rotating tweezers of the
epilating head get blocked (e.g. by clothes etc.), the
appliance stops and the speed setting indications
start to flash red for 5 seconds.
1
Check if the rotating tweezers of the epilating
head are blocked by turning the tweezers
with your thumb until you can remove
whatever is blocking the rotating tweezers.
2
Switch on the appliance again.
