motor switched off. Charging time is
approximately 1 hour.
• The green charging light (5a) flashes to
show that the epilator is being charged.
When the battery is fully charged, the
charging light shines permanently. Once
fully charged, use the appliance without
cord.
• When the red low-charge light (5b) comes
on, connect the appliance to an electrical
outlet via the special cord set to recharge.
As a safety feature, it may happen that
in a low-charge mode, the appliance
turns off. Then both charging lights flash
(green/ red). In this case, simply turn
back the switch to «0» and recharge the
appliance as required.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of
cordless operation time. Maximum battery
capacity will only be reached after several
charging/discharging cycles.
• The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 5 °C and 35 °C.

or cream.

A How to epilate
1 Turning on
• Press one of the lock keys and turn the
switch clockwise to setting 2 (optimum
14
setting). For reduced speed, choose
setting 1 (soft setting).
• The «smartlight» comes on instantly
and shines as long as the appliance is
switched on. It reproduces an almost
daylight condition, thus revealing even
the finest hair and giving you a better
control for improved epilation efficiency.
2 How to guide the appliance
• Always stretch your skin when epilating.
• Always make sure that the epilation area
between the massaging rollers is in
contact with your skin.
• The pivoting caps automatically adapt to
the contour of your skin.
• Guide the appliance in a slow, continu-
ous 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 direc-
tions to achieve optimum results. The
pulsating movement 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 massage system (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
For this specific application, the underarm
cap (8) has been developed.
