Danger
- Keep the adapter dry.
Warning
- If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced
with one of the original type in order to avoid a
hazard.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
- The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut
off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as
this causes a hazardous situation.
- Do not insert metal-containing material into the
socket for the appliance plug to avoid short circuiting.
Caution
- This appliance is only intended for removing
women’s body hair on areas below the neck:
underarms, bikini line and legs. Do not use it for any
other purpose.
- Fully charge the appliance every 3 to 4 months, even
if you do not use the appliance for a longer time.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the
operating
appliance away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes,
clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc.
- Do not use the appliance on irritated skin or skin
with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs)
or wounds without consulting your doctor first.
People with a reduced immune response or people
who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or
immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor first.
- Your skin may become a little red and irritated
the first few times you use the epilator. This
phenomenon is absolutely normal and quickly
disappears. As you use the appliance more
often, your 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.
- Do not use the epilating head if it is damaged or
broken, as this may cause injury.
- Do not clean the appliance with water that is hotter
than shower temperature (max. 40°C).
- Charge, use and store the appliance at a temperature
between 10°C and 30°C.
- Make sure the socket is live when you charge the
appliance. The electricity supply to sockets in mirror
cabinets over washbasins or shaver sockets in
bathrooms may be cut off when the light is turned off.
- Do not use bath or shower oils when you epilate
under wet conditions, as this may cause serious skin
irritations.
