an electrical outlet.
• Slide the switch and carry out
epilation.
• After completing epilation, slide the
switch to the 0 position.
• Unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and the appliance.
Correct usage for best epilation
results
• When the hair is long, it makes
hair removal easier and reduces
pain to trim the hair before
epilation. Leg and arm hair should
be shortened a length of 3 to 5
mm.
• Apply epilator at right angles (90°)
against your skin. For best epilation
results keep in contact with the
skin surface. Pressing gently and
guide the appliance slowly against
hair growth. This switch-side of
the appliance shows against hair
growth. (Fig. 2)
• Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
• Move the epilator slowly on the
skin with the skin protector vertically
touching.
Moving head (Fig. 3)
• The head moves to the left and
right to quickly carry out epilation
on short hairs.
This feature promotes efficient
epilation.
Legs and arms epilation (Fig. 4)
Important for arms and legs epilation:
Apply epilator at right angles (90°)
against your skin.
Pressing the appliance too hard onto
the skin or using it on an angle can
cause damage to the skin.
Press gently and guide the appliance
slowly against hair growth.
If you move the appliance too fast
then you will find a large number of
missed hairs.
Legs: Move the appliance upwards
from the bottom of the leg.
Arms: Move the appliance inwards
from the outside of the arm.
Upper arms: Move the appliance
upwards from the bottom of the
upper arms.
NOTE: When using the appliance
on areas where the skin is prone to
sagging (on the inside of the knees
and elbows), pull and stretch the
skin so that it is tight.
Further useful tips
• In the beginning, it is advisable to
epilate in the evening so that any
possible reddening can disappear
overnight. When you feel pain or
rash appears, cool the skin with
cold towel.
• Hair is easier to remove after
bathing or showering.
But your skin must be completely
dry!
• In order to prevent the risk of
ingrowing hairs, we recommend
the regular use of massage
sponges, e.g. after showering, or
exfoliation peelings.

General information about
epilation
All methods of hair removal at the
roots can lead to minor skin injuries
and in-growing hairs. All micro-
injuries caused by plucking hairs
may lead to inflammation through
the penetration of bacteria into the
skin. Thoroughly cleaning the
epilation discs before each use
minimizes the risk of infection.
Depending on the condition of your
skin and hairs, you may experience
some irritation (e.g. feeling of pain,
skin reddening) when you start
using the product. When removing
hairs at root level, this is a normal
reaction that will quickly disappear
again.
If, after 48 hours, your skin still
shows irritations, we recommend
you to contact your physician.
In general, the skin reactions and
the sensation of pain tend to
diminish considerably with a
repeated use.
If you have any doubts about using
this appliance, please consult your
physician.
In the following cases, this appliance
should only be used after prior
consultation with a physician.
• eczema, wounds, inflamed skin
reactions such as folliculitis
(purulent hair follicles) and
varicose veins
• around moles
• reduced immunity of skin, e.g.
diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud’ disease
• hemophilia or immune deficiency
This product is designed to remove
hair on legs and arms.
When switched on, the appliance
must never come in contact with the
hair on your head, eyelashes, ribbons
