2 How to guide the appliance
• Always stretch your skin when
epilating.
• Always make sure that the epilation
area is in close contact with your skin.
• The pivoting head automatically adapts
to the contours of your skin.
• Guide the appliance in a slow, con-
tinuous movement without pressure
against the hair growth, in the direction
of the switch. As hair can grow in
different directions, it may also be
helpful to guide the appliance in
different directions to achieve optimal
results. The pulsating movements of
the massaging rollers stimulate and
relax the skin for a gentler epilation.
• If you are used to the sensation of
epilation and prefer a faster way of
removing hair, attach the efficiency
cap (1b) replacing the massaging
rollers (1a).
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. Therefore, we
recommend that you start with switch
setting I. With repeated usage the pain
sensation will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues
(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.

Thoroughly clean the tweezers from
