appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact
the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Poor epilating
results
You are moving
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 are placing
the epilating head on
the skin at a 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.
The optimal hair length for easy
removal of the hairs is 3-4mm. If the
hairs are too short, wait until they are
longer or try to remove the hairs by
repeatedly moving the appliance across
the skin.
The sensitive area
cap is attached to the
epilating head while
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. Never use the epilator without
the sensitive area cap when you epilate
your underarms.
