Problem
Cause
Solution
Poor epilating results.
You move the
appliance in the wrong
direction.
Move the appliance against the direction of hair growth, with
the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you move the
appliance.
You place the epilating
head on the skin at the
wrong angle.
Make sure that you place the appliance on the skin at an angle
of 90° (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
You used a (depilatory)
cream prior to epilation.
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease.
Do not use any cream before you start epilating.
The hairs are too short.
Sometimes hairs are too short to be caught. The optimal length
for easy removal of the hairs is 3-4mm. The hairs that are not
caught during this session will be long enough to be removed
when you epilate the next time. You can also try to catch the
hairs by moving the appliance across the skin a few more times.
The sensitive area cap
is on the epilating head
when you epilate your
legs.
Do not use the sensitive area cap when you epilate your legs,
as the cap reduces the number of active epilating discs. NB:
Never use the epilator without the sensitive area cap when
you epilate your underarms or bikini line.
The appliance does
not work.
The socket to which the
appliance is connected is
not live.
Make sure the socket is live. If you have connected the epilator
to the socket in a bathroom cabinet, you may need to switch
on the bathroom light to activate the socket.
I cannot select speed
setting II.
The trimming head is
attached. The trimming
head can only be used at
speed setting I.
Select speed setting I when you use the trimming head.
I cannot remove the
trimming head/
epilating head from
the appliance.
You try to pull it straight
off.
Push the epilating head/trimming head in the direction of the
arrows on the back of the appliance before you pull it off the
appliance (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
