Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfort-
able when the hair is at the optimum
length of 2-5 mm (0.08-0.2 in.). If hairs
are longer, we recommend that you
shave first and epilate the shorter
re-growing hairs after 1or 2 weeks.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening,
so that any possible reddening can
disappear overnight. To relax the skin
we recommend applying a moisture
cream after epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

How to epilate
• Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
• Keep in mind that epilation is more
comfortable when the hair is at the
optimum length of 2–5 mm (see
section «Some useful tips»).

• For leg epilation, choose epilation
head 2 .
• For underarm and bikini line epilation,
we recommend that you use the
underarm epilation head
B .
• To change epilation heads, press the
release buttons 3 and pull off the
epilation head.
• Plug the cord connector 6 into the
socket 5 and plug the transformer
plug 7 into an electrical outlet.

+ full tweezer grip
for normal to thicker hair
– reduced tweezer grip
for finer hair
• Switching on
0 = Off
1 = For gentle epilation
2 = For normal epilation
3 = For high-speed epilation
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For
optimum performance hold the ap-
pliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, con-
tinuous movement without pressure
against the hair growth, in the direc-
tion of the switch.
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretch-
ed out straight.
