Introduction
.
With your new Satinelle you can remove
unwanted hair quickly, easily and effectively. It is
particularly suitable for removing hair from your
legs.
The rotating discs catch even the shortest hairs
(down to 0.5mm) and pull them out by the root.
The hairs that grow back are soft and thin. Epilating
with this new appliance leaves your skin smooth
and hair-free for several weeks.

Important
.
Read these instructions for use carefully before
using the appliance and save them for future
reference.
◗
Check if the mains voltage indicated on the
appliance corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance
ensure optimal results and a long life for your
appliance.
◗
Make sure the appliance and adapter do not
get wet.
◗
Do not use the epilating head 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, e.g. during
pregnancy, or people who suffer from
diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or
immunodeficiency should also consult their
doctor first.
◗
Using an epilator may cause reddening or
irritation of the skin. This is a normal reaction
that will quickly disappear. However, you
should consult your doctor if the irritation has
not disappeared within three days.
◗
Regular massages with a massaging glove or
loofah may help to prevent ingrowing hairs.
◗
To prevent damage and injuries, keep the
running appliance away from your hair,
eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords,
brushes, etc.
◗
Keep the appliance out of the reach of
children.
◗
Only use the appliance in combination with
the mains cord and adapter supplied.
◗
If the mains cord or adapter of this appliance
is damaged, it may only be replaced by a cord
with adapter of the original type.
◗
The adapter contains a transformer. Do not
cut off the adapter to replace it with another
plug, as this will cause a hazardous situation.
Preparing for use
.
◗
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.
◗
As the hairs are removed by the root,
epilation may cause some skin discomfort the
first few times you use the epilator. This effect
will gradually diminish when you use the
appliance more often. Regrowth tends to be
softer both in appearance and to the touch.
◗
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and
free from grease. Do not use any cream
before you start epilating.
◗
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower. Make sure your skin is completely
dry when you start epilating.
◗
After epilation, you can apply a mild cream or
lotion to help reduce possible skin irritation.
It will make your skin feel smoother and will
give you a fresh sensation. Do not use lotions
that contain alcohol.
Using the appliance
.

such as knees and ankles (fig. 4).
◗
Select speed II for larger areas with stronger
hair growth (fig. 5).
3
Stretch the skin with your free hand to make
the hairs stand upright (fig. 6).
B
Stretching the skin properly is particularly
important if you have sensitive or delicate skin.

Place the epilator perpendicularly onto the
skin with the on/off slide pointing in the
direction in which you are going to move the
