Battery low or empty
- When the battery is almost empty, the charging light
starts to flash red. When this happens, the battery
still contains enough energy for a few minutes of
epilating.
- When the battery is completely empty, the charging
light lights up red continuously. To charge the epilator,
see section ‘Charging’ above.
Using the appliance
Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully
before you use the appliance for the first time.
Note: You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to
the mains.
Epilating tips
-
Wet
: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to
start epilating on wet skin, as water relaxes the skin
and makes epilation less painful and more gentle. The
appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the
bath or shower.
Tip: If you want you can use your common shower gel or
foam.
-
Dry
: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after
taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is
completely dry when you start epilating.
-
general
: Make sure your skin is clean and free from
grease. Do not apply any cream to your skin before
you start to epilate.
-
general
: We advise you to epilate before you go
to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
-
general
: Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hairs have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs
are longer, we recommend that you shave first and
epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.
Epilating
1
Press the on/off button once to switch on the
appliance.
,
The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is
the most efficient speed for epilating.
Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button
a second time. 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.
2
Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the
hairs stand upright. 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. 6).
3
Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the
direction of the hair growth while pressing it lightly.
4
Press the on/off button a third time to switch off
the appliance.
Tip: To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising
cream immediately or a few hours after epilation.
Overheat protection
This function helps to prevent 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 excessive
pressure.
If the overheat protection is activated, the appliance
switches off automatically and the charging light flashes
red for 30 seconds.
To reset the overheat protection, let the appliance cool
down and then switch it on again.
Note: If the charging light starts 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 epilating discs of the epilating head get blocked
(e.g. by clothes etc.), the appliance switches off and the
charging light flashes red for 5 seconds.
Turn the epilating discs with your thumb until you can
remove whatever is blocking the epilating discs.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or
aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the
appliance.
Always keep the adapter dry. Never rinse it under the
tap or immerse it in water.
- If necessary, clean the adapter with the cleaning
brush or a dry cloth.
