As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
Both rollers of the massaging rollers
clip
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 clip
. It allows
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
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. With repeated usage
the pain sensation will diminish.
For more comfort, ensure that the hair
is at the optimum length of 2–5mm.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residue (like
deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with
a towel. When epilating the underarm,
keep your arm raised up so that the skin
is stretched and guide the appliance in
different directions.
As skin may be more sensitive directly
after epilation, avoid using irritating
substances such as deodorants with
alcohol.
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.
6 To clean the tweezer element, use the
cleaning brush dipped into alcohol.
Clean the tweezers with the brush from
the rear side of the epilator head while
turning the barrel manually.
7 Remove the epilation head by pressing
the release buttons on the left and
right and pull it off. Give the top of the
housing a quick clean with the brush.
Place the epilation head and your
preferred clip (
or ) 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 to the «optimal»
setting.
3. For best results, guide the shaving
system in a way that about half of the
shaving foil and the long hair 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. If you choose to pre-cut your hair to
the ideal length for epilation, place the
OptiTrim attachment onto the shaver
head.
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 B 5.
N.B. 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
directions.
