SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The power plug contains a transformer. Do
not cut off the power plug to replace it with another plug as
this will cause a hazardous condition.
IMPORTANT
The following information and precautions are important
when epilating:
I CAUTION: Methods of removing hair by the root can cause
in-grown hairs and minor skin injuries. Please consult your doctor
if you have any questions about the use of an epilator.
I Do not use the epilator head if you suffer from varicose veins,
spots or blemishes, or when the skin is irritated or if you have
in-grown hairs or a tendency to produce in-grown hairs. Consult
your doctor first.
I Any minor injury resulting from hair removal may allow
bacteria to penetrate the injury site potentially causing
small scars or a change in pigmentation of the skin. The
risk of infection may be minimized by thoroughly cleaning
the rotating discs before and/or after each use. (See
Cleaning section).
I The epilator should only be used after prior consultation with your
doctor if you have or experience:
• Open wounds
• Eczema, psoriasis (scaly eczema), inflamed skin reactions such as
folliculitis, skin rashes or the tendency to allergy or allergic skin
reactions
• Immune deficiency or disorders
• Couperose, rosacea, or varicose veins
• Pregnancy
• Reduced skin immunity as a result of diabetes, pregnancy,
Raynaud’s disease, etc.
• Hemophilia
• If you have moles, raised skin bumps, etc.
I If you have been or begin taking hormone medication, or recently
been pregnant, a change in your hormone levels may influence the
thickness, color or amount of hair growth. This is caused by the
hormonal changes, not by this method of hair removal.
I Clean the epilating head regularly following CLEANING
instructions.
