c) Leg epilation
Epilate your legs in an upward direc-
tion. When epilating behind the
knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.
d) Sensitive areas
First thoroughly clean and carefully
dry sensitive areas to remove
residues (like deodorant).
Use switch setting «I». When epilating
the underarm, keep your arm raised
up so that the skin is stretched and
guide the appliance in different
directions.
e) Cleaning
After use, turn off and unplug the
appliance. Remove the massage
cap and brush out the tweezers
while turning the tweezer element
manually. To remove the epilation
head, press the release buttons (3)
on the left and right and pull off.
After cleaning, click the epilation
head and the massage cap back on.
Tips for beginners
● If you have not used an epilator
before, it may take some time for
your skin to adapt to epilation. In the
beginning, epilate on a weekly basis
to help reduce the discomfort.
● First time users should epilate in the
evening so that 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 – 3 mm long. If hairs
10
are longer, we recommend that you
shorten them.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the
root can lead to irritation (e.g. itching,
discomfort and reddening of the skin)
depending on the condition of the skin
and hair. This is a normal reaction and
should quickly disappear. It may be
stronger when you are removing hair
at the root for the first few times or if
you have sensitive skin.
In general, skin reactions and the
sensation of pain tend to diminish
considerably with repeated use.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows
irritation, we recommend that you
contact your physician.
To minimize the risk of infection or
inflammation due to bacteria
penetrating the skin when it comes to
micro-injuries, thoroughly clean the
epilation head and your skin before
each use.
If you have any doubts about using this
appliance, please consult your
physician. In the following cases, this
appliance should only be used after

reactions such as folliculitis (purulent
hair follicles) and varicose veins

pregnancy, Raynaud's disease,
haemophilia, candida or immune
deficiency.
