B Before starting off
Preparing your skin
Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Optional skin cooling: For the first few
epilations or if you have sensitive skin you
can use the cooling application, recom-
mended by dermatologists to help reduce
possible skin irritation.
• Ensure that the gel pack has been in
the deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours
(for convenience you can store the gel
pack in the freezer).
• Insert the gel pack underneath the
glove’s transparent foil. Use only with
glove.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove
on your leg.
• Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute,
longer if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immedi-
ately as described in section «C».
• Repeat cooling and epilating until
completion.
• While epilating, please ensure your skin
is dry.
Important: Apply cooling glove to the
same area for no longer than 2 minutes.
Keep away from sunlight. Do not use
gel pack when damaged. Dispose of in
household waste. Do not use if you are
hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or
if your skin suffers from sensory disturb-
ances, when suffering from cardiac dis-
eases or arterial circulatory disorders.
Preparing the appliance
• Before starting off, thoroughly clean
the epilation head you want to use
(
B or b ).
• To remove the epilation head, press the
release buttons 3 on the left and right
and pull it off.
• Click the desired head into place:
– Choose the starter epilation head b
if you are epilating for the first time or
if you have very sensitive skin.
– Once your skin is used to epilation,
you may switch to the standard
epilation head
B which allows a
more efficient and faster epilation
thanks to its greater number of
tweezers.
• Plug the cord connector
6
into the
socket
5
and plug the transformer
plug
7
into an electrical outlet.
C How to epilate
1 Make sure one of the attachments A
or a is attached to the epilation head.
To turn on the appliance, slide switch
4 to the «optimal» setting. For reduced
speed, choose the «soft» setting. The
SmartLight illuminates as long as the
appliance is switched on.
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
For optimum performance hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
switch.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
The massaging rollers
A should always
be kept in contact with the skin,
allowing the pulsating movements to
stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler
epilation. If you are used to epilation
and look for a faster way to efficiently
remove hair, attach the EfficiencyPro
cap
a .
It allows maximum skin contact and
ensures an optimum usage position.
