- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry
when you start epilating.
- Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and
free from grease. Do not use any cream before
you start epilating.
- Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair has the optimum 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.
- To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a
moisturising cream immediately after epilation
or a few hours after epilation, depending on
what is better for your skin.
Using the epilator
1
Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of
the appliance and put the adapter in the wall
socket.
Epilating the legs with the epilator
- If you already have some experience with
epilation, you can simply use the epilating head
with the basic epilation cap.
- If you are not used to epilation, we advise you
to start epilating with the optimal performance
cap. This cap ensures optimal skin contact
and its pivoting head stretches the skin and
prepares the hairs for epilation.
- If your hairs lie flat on your skin, we advise you
to use the active hairlifter with active massage.
The active hairlifter with active massage not
only lifts up the hairs but its active massaging
roller also minimises the pulling sensation of
epilation.
Note: Remove the basic epilation cap before you
attach the optimal performance cap or the active
hairlifter with active massage.
1
Squeeze both sides of the basic epilation cap
(1) and pull it off the appliance (2) (Fig. 5).
2
Put the desired attachment on the epilating
head (Fig. 6).
Note: The procedure for placing the attachments onto
the appliance is the same for all attachments.
3
Press the on/off button once to switch on the
epilator.
,
The epilator starts running at speed II, which
is the most efficient speed for epilation.
The bottom speed setting indication II lights
up (Fig. 7).
,
If you want to use speed I, press the on/off
button a second time. The top speed setting
indication I lights up (Fig. 8).
- 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.
Caution
- The epilator is only intended for removing
women’s body hair on areas below the neck.
Do not use the epilator for any other purpose.
- For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only
be used by one person.
- To prevent damage and injuries, keep the
running
epilator (with or without attachment)
away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes,
clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc.
- Do not use the epilator 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 epilator 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 look directly into the Opti-light to
avoid being dazzled by the light.
- Do not use the epilating head of the epilator
without attachment.
- Do not expose the epilator to temperatures
lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C.

Epilation tips
Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator
before first use.
- We advise you to epilate before going to bed
at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.

Problème
Cause
Solution
L’épilateur
ne
fonctionne
pas.
La prise
sur laquelle
l’appareil est
branché est
défectueuse.
Vérifiez que la prise
est alimentée. Si vous
branchez l’épilateur sur
une prise dans la salle
de bain, il se peut que
vous deviez allumer la
lumière de cette pièce
pour que la prise soit
alimentée. Vous pouvez
également utiliser une
prise non défectueuse
en dehors de la salle
de bain.
La protec-
tion anti-
surchauffe a
été activée.
Lorsque l’épilateur
arrête de fonctionner
et que les indicateurs
de vitesse clignotent
en rouge, cela signifie
que la protection
de surchauffe a
été activée. Laissez
l’appareil refroidir.
Les voyants arrêtent
de clignoter au bout
de 30 secondes.
Une fois refroidi,
rallumez l’épilateur.
Si les voyants
recommencent à
clignoter, c’est que
l’épilateur n’a pas
suffisamment refroidi.
La protec-
tion anti-
surcharge
est activée
parce que
le disque à
pincettes a
attrapé un
objet ou
parce que
vous avez
exercé une
pression
trop forte
sur la peau
avec l’appa-
reil.
Lorsque la protection
anti-surcharge est
activée, les indicateurs
de vitesse clignotent
en rouge. Tournez le
disque à pincettes
avec votre pouce
jusqu’à ce que vous
arriviez à retirer
l’élément bloquant
cette dernière.
Rallumez ensuite
l’appareil. N’exercez
pas de pression trop
forte sur la peau avec
l’appareil.
