Charging

performance, we recommend that you always use
a fully charged appliance. Using the special cord
set, connect the appliance to an electrical outlet
with the motor switched off. Charging time is
approximately 1 hour.

that the appliance is being charged. When the
battery is fully charged, the green charging light
shines permanently. Once fully charged, use the
appliance without the cord.
• A yellow flashing charging light (–) shows that it is
time to reconnect the appliance to an electrical
outlet via the special cord set in order to recharge
it.

recommend that you recharge the appliance after
each use.

and storing the appliance is between 59 °F and
95 °F. In case the temperature is far beyond this
range, charging might take longer and the cordless

Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event of
the appliance overheating, it may happen that the
appliance turns off automatically. In this case,
turn the switch back to the position «O» (off) and
let the appliance cool down.
How to operate the appliance
Press one of the lock keys (4a) and turn the switch (4)
clockwise to position «I» or «II». The Smartlight (3)
shines as long as the appliance is switched on.
This provides better visibility of fine hairs.

button (6). To change caps, press their lateral ribs

I Epilation
Epilation tips:
If you have not used an epilator before, or if
you have not epilated for a long period of time,
it may take a short time for your skin to adapt
to epilation. The discomfort experienced in the
beginning will decrease considerably with repeated
use as the skin adapts to the process.
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 moisturizing cream after
epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair is between 0.5 - 5 mm (0.02 – 0.2 in) long. If
hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first
and let the hair grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in
order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the
appliance.
How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and
provided with a cap (1a or 1b).
A Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation, speed «II»
for an efficient epilation.
