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 clip

maximum skin contact and ensures
an optimum usage position.
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretched
out straight.
4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
Use tests monitored by dermatolo-
gists have revealed that you can also
epilate the underarm and the bikini line.
Please be aware that these areas are
particularly sensitive to pain. With
repeated usage the pain sensation will
diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
area to remove residue (such as deo-
dorants or creams). Carefully dab the
area dry with a towel. When epilating
the underarm, keep your arm raised up
and guide the appliance in different
directions.
Cleaning the epilation head
5 After epilating, unplug the appliance
and clean the epilation head. First
remove the clip used (
or ) and
clean it with the brush.

cleaning brush dipped into alcohol.
Clean the tweezers with the brush from
the rear side of the epilator head while
turning the barrel manually. Remove
the epilation head by pressing the
release buttons
on the left and right
and pull it off.
7 Give the top of the housing a quick
clean with the brush. Place the epilation
head and your preferred clip (

back on the housing.
B Shaving
1 Remove the OptiTrim attachment .
Put on the shaver head by clicking it
in (the long hair trimmer should be in
front).
2 When using the shaver head, always
slide the switch up to the «optimal»
setting.
3 For best results, guide the shaving
system in a way that about half of
the shaving foil and the trimmer are in
contact with your skin. Always guide
the appliance in the direction of the
trimmer. The trimmer first raises all
long hairs and cuts them off. Then the
flexible foil follows to smooth away any
stubble.
Pre-cutting hair for epilation
4 When using the shaver head to pre-cut
your hair to the ideal length for epila-
tion, put on the OptiTrim attachment.
5 Hold the appliance with the OptiTrim
attachment ensuring that the surface
of the comb is lying flat on the skin.
Guide the appliance with the comb
tips against the hair growth as shown
in illustration B5.
Important: As hair does not always grow in
the same direction, it may be difficult to
cut. In which case, guide the appliance
slightly diagonally or in different direc-
tions.
Cleaning the shaver head
6 After shaving, unplug the appliance
and, if necessary, remove the OptiTrim
attachment.
7 Clean the OptiTrim attachment with the
brush.
