Using the product

Switching the product on and off
1 To switch on the product, press the on/off button once.
2 If you want to select the low speed setting, press the on/off
button again.
3 To switch off the product, press the on/off button once more.
Attaching and detaching the epilating head
1 To attach the epilating head, press it onto the handle ('click')
(Fig. 6).
2 To detach the epilating head, press the release button on the
back of the product (Fig. 7).
Using the epilator
- Only use the epilator attachment to epilate areas below the
neck such as your legs, underarms and bikini line.
- Attach the facial cap if you want to epilate facial hair.
- For gentle, less painful epilation, epilate in the shower or bath
on wet skin with or without shower gel or soap.
- For dry epilating, make sure your skin is clean, and free from
grease and creams. Do not apply any cream before using.
Hairs are easier to remove after a bath or shower, but your skin
should be completely dry before using your epilator.
1 Before first use, clean the epilating head (see 'Cleaning').
NOTE: The attachment will only fit onto the product in one
direction.
- Press the on/off button once to turn on the epilator (Fig. 8).
- The epilator starts running at speed II which is the most
efficient speed for epilating. The speed II light lights up.
- If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second
time. Speed I light lights up.
- Select speed I for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-
reach places and for areas with bones close to the skin's
surface, such as knees and ankles.
- When you press the on/off button a third time, the epilator
switches off.
Tip: For greater visibility of fine hairs, the built-in light goes on
automatically when epilating (Fig. 9). To turn off, press the
on/off button for 3 seconds after turning on the product.
2. Gently press and move the epilator slowly over the skin against
the direction of hair growth. If you press too lightly or too hard,
the epilator will not be able to grasp and remove the hairs.
Experiment until you find the right settings and right amount of
pressure for your type of skin and hair.
Tip: When epilating sensitive areas, stretch the skin with your free
hand.
For epilating underarms, put your hand on the back of your head
to stretch the skin (Fig. 10).
3. Press the on/off button to turn the epilator OFF.
4. Pull the attachment off the epilating head and clean epilator
and attachment. (See section 'Cleaning').
IMPORTANT:
After using the epilator, some redness or irritation may occur. This
is normal and should disappear quickly.
- Clean the product and attachments after each use following
the CLEANING instructions.
Attaching and detaching the callus removal disk
1 To attach an attachment, press it onto the handle ('click') (Fig.
12).
2 To attach the disk, push it onto the coupling in the head (Fig.
13).
Look at the product from the side to check if the disk is level
with the outer rim of the head.
If the disk wobbles when you switch on the product, the disk is
not placed correctly. Remove the disk and attach it properly.
3 To remove the disk, put your thumb in the indent behind the
disk and push it forward until the disk detaches from the head
(Fig. 14).
Using the callus removal disk
- The callus removal disk is only intended for use on feet.
You can use the callus removal disk in 3 different ways,
depending on the area or callus you want to treat.
1 To treat a large, flat area, use the entire disk (Fig. 15). Make sure
you place the disk flat onto the skin for good control during
use.
2 For precision treatment of smaller areas and good visibility of
the treated area (Fig. 16), use the top part of the disk that sticks
out beyond the top of the head (Fig. 17).
3 For precision treatment and for buffing away hard skin very
quickly, use the narrow edge of the protruding top part of the
disk (Fig. 18).
