Epilation tips
Before you start epilating
Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator and the
precision epilator before rst use.
- When you use the appliances for the rst time,
we advise you to try them out on an area with
only light hair growth to get accustomed to the
epilation process.
- We advise you to epilate before going to bed
at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry
when you start epilating.
- Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and
free from grease. Do not use any cream before
you start epilating.
- Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair has the optimum length of 3–4
mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend
that you shave rst and epilate the shorter
regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.
- As your hair grows in different cycles, it is
best to epilate a few days in a row when you
start epilating. This will help you to remain
stubble-free longer because your hairs will start
regrowing in the same cycle and pace.
During epilation
- While epilating, stretch your skin with your
free hand. This lifts up the hairs and helps to
minimise the pulling sensation.
- For optimal performance, place the epilating
head on the skin at an angle of 90° with the
on/off button pointing in the direction in which
you are going to move the appliance. Guide
the appliance across the skin against the
direction of hair growth in a slow, continuous
movement without exerting any pressure.
- On some areas, hair may grow in different
directions. In this case, it may be helpful to
move the appliance in different directions to
achieve optimal results.
- If you sweat during epilation, dab your skin dry
with a soft cloth.
After epilation
- To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a
moisturising cream immediately after epilation
or a few hours after epilation, depending on
what is better for your skin.
- Use a soft deodorant without alcohol or a
special deodorising cream for epilated skin
after epilating the underarms.
- Regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream
(e.g. during showering) 24 hours after epilation
helps to prevent ingrowing hair, as the gentle
scrubbing action removes the upper skin
layer and ne hair can get through to the
skin surface.
Using the epilator
Connecting the appliance
1 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 5).
2 Insert the adapter into the wall socket.
Epilating the legs
1 Select the desired speed to switch on the appliance (Fig. 6).
Preferably use speed II. Switch to speed I for areas with little hair
growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas where bones are
located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles.
2 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs
stand upright.
3 Place the epilator perpendicularly onto the skin with the
on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you are going
to move the appliance (Fig. 7).
4 Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the
direction of hair growth. (Fig. 8)
Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.
Using the precision epilator
Inserting the batteries
1 Remove the lid of the battery compartment by sliding
it down (Fig. 9).
2 Insert two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries into the battery
compartment (Fig. 10).
Note: Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries point in
the direction indicated in the battery compartment.
Note: New batteries offer an operating time of up to 40 minutes.
3 Slide the lid of the battery compartment back onto
the appliance.
Do not let metal objects come into contact with the battery
terminals and do not short-circuit the batteries.
Epilating with the precision epilator
Use the precision epilator to epilate the underarms, the bikini line,
the upper lip, the chin and hard-to-reach areas.
1 Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated. Remove any
residues of deodorant, cream etc. Then dab the skin dry.
2 Switch on the appliance.
3 Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the skin
with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you
are going to move the appliance.
Note: Always stretch the skin with your free hand.
4 To epilate the bikini line or underarms, move the
appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction of the
hair growth.
- Epilate your bikini line as shown in the
gure (Fig. 11).
- Epilate your underarms as shown in the gure.
Raise your arm to stretch the skin. Move the
appliance in different directions to catch all
hairs (Fig. 12).
5 If you want to epilate the area around your mouth (upper
lip and chin), follow the instructions below.
Tip: We advise you to always epilate the area around your mouth
before you go to bed at night, as this allows any skin irritation or
bleeding points that may develop to disappear overnight. When you
epilate the area around the mouth the rst few times, skin irritation
or bleeding points (small injuries) are not unusual, as the skin in this
area is very sensitive.
- Place the epilator at an angle of 90° onto
the skin and move the appliance slowly
over the skin against the direction of
hairgrowth (Fig. 13).
Note: To make the epilation as comfortable as possible stretch the
skin around the mouth with your free hand. Do not press the epilator
too rmly against the skin. Move the appliance slowly over the skin
against the direction of hair growth.
- You can also move the appliance in different
directions to catch all hairs (Fig. 14).
Tip: To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream
immediately after epilation or a few hours after epilation, depending
on what is better for your skin.
Do not use this appliance to remove hairs that grow out of moles.
Do not use this appliance to epilate eyebrows or eyelashes.
Using the Smart Tweezers
Your epilator comes with Smart Tweezers with integrated light for
the easy removal of facial hair such as your eyebrows. The Smart
Tweezers are protected by a case with integrated mirror which
allows you to depilate wherever and whenever you want.
The Smart Tweezers are supplied ready for use with 3 button
batteries in the battery compartment.
Using the Smart tweezers
1 Clean your eyebrows with skin tonic or alcohol to
prevent eyebrow hair from slipping away between the
tweezer arms.
2 Use a warm face cloth to soften the skin before tweezing.
This makes hair removal easier.
3 Brush your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth.
4 Use an eye pencil to mark the desired shape of your
eyebrows. Remove any hairs outside the marked shape.
5 Switch on the light by pressing the on/off button once.
6 Always pull out the hair in the direction of hair growth.
Note: Pull out the hairs one by one.
Do not use the Smart Tweezers to remove hairs that grow out
of moles.
Do not point the light of the Smart Tweezers directly at your or
somebody else’s eyes.
Replacing the batteries
1 Open the battery and light compartment by turning the
bottom anticlockwise with a coin (Fig. 15).
2 Remove the old button batteries.
Keep the button batteries out of the reach of children and pets.
Button batteries present a potential choking hazard.
3 Insert the new button batteries with the negative
side pointing forward into the battery and light
compartment (Fig. 16).
Note: The Smart Tweezers work on three alkaline button batteries
type L736H or AG3 (dia. 7.8 x 3.4mm).
4 Screw the bottom back onto the battery and light
compartment by turning it clockwise with a coin (Fig. 17).
