A How to epilate
The epilation head (2) features the new Close-Grip
Technology to ensure extra efficiency especially with
short hairs:
The 40 tweezers always keep close contact to the
skin to remove hairs as short as grain of sand.
Thanks to its pivoting feature, it perfectly adapts to
the body contours, for maximum thoroughness.
The High-Frequency Massage System (1a) soothes
your skin effectively for an ultra gentle epilation.
The Efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation ensures
maximum skin contact, positioning the tweezers at
the optimum position at all times.
1 Turning on
• Press one of the lock keys (4a) and turn the
switch (4) clockwise to select your preferred
speed setting:
«I» = extra gentle
«II» = extra efficient
• The «smartlight» (3) 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, continuous
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 sensible area cap
(8) has been developed as an optional attachment
to be placed on the epilation head (2).
Please be aware that especially at the beginning,
these areas are particularly sensitive to pain.
Therefore, we recommend that you select speed
setting «I» for the first few epilation processes.
With repeated usage the pain sensation will
diminish. For more comfort, ensure that the hair is
at the optimum length of 2–5 mm.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective
area to remove residues (like deodorant). 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.
5 Facial epilation
For removing any unwanted hair from the face
or other sensitive areas, use the precision cap (9)
as an optional attachment to be placed on the
epilation head (2).
For the first few usages, we recommend that you
select speed setting «I» in order to get used to the
epilation sensation in those sensitive areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the
skin with alcohol to promote good hygiene.
When epilating the face, stretch the skin with one
hand and slowly guide the epilator with your other
hand the direction of the switch.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event of the
appliance overheating, it may happen that the red
low charge light shines permanently for 8 seconds
and then the appliance turns off automatically. In this
case, turn the switch back to the position «0» and let
the appliance cool down.
6 Cleaning the epilation head
Regular cleaning ensures better performance.
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out.
Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the rear side
of the epilator head with the brush dipped into
alcohol. While doing so, turn the tweezer element
manually. This cleaning method ensures best
hygienic conditions for the epilation head.
b Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance under
running water.
Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with the
epilation head under hot running water. Then press
the release button (6) to remove the epilation head.
Thoroughly shake both, the epilation head and the
appliance to make sure that remaining water can
drip out. Leave both parts to dry. Before reattaching,
make sure that they are completely dry.
