Using the appliance
General information about epilation
◗
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure
your skin is completely dry when you start epilating.
◗
When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to
try it out on an area with only light hair growth to get
accustomed to the epilation process.
◗
Before epilating longer hairs on sensitive skin areas, shorten them
with a trimmer or a pair of scissors.
◗
Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times
you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and
will quickly disappear.As you use the appliance more often, your
skin will get used to epilation, skin irritation will decrease and
regrowth will become 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 going to bed at night, as this will
allow any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.
Epilating with the leg skin cooler
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not
use any cream before you start epilating.
1 Slide the insulating sleeve onto the skin cooler (fig. 2).
The insulating sleeve prevents an unpleasant sensation of coldness in
your hand while using the appliance and keeps the skin cooler cold as
long as possible.
Occasionally the pivoting cooling head may freeze onto the skin cooler
and won't move when you take the skin cooler from the freezer.The
pivoting cooling head will start pivoting again after you have passed it
over your leg a few times.
2 Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (fig. 3).
3 Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put
the adapter in the wall socket.
