Using the appliance
Note: Clean the epilating head before rst use .
Epilation tips
When you use the appliance for the rst time , we
advise you to tr y it out on an area with onl y light hair
growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or show er .
Make sure your skin is completel y dr y when you
star t epilating.
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dr y and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before y ou star t
epilating.
Epilation is easier and more comfor table when the
hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If the hair s
are longer , we recommend that you either sha ve r st
and epilate the shor ter regrowing hair s after 1 or
2 weeks or that y ou use the shaving head with the
shaving head comb attchment to pretrim hair s to this
ideal length.
When you epilate for the rst time , we advise you to
epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that
develops can disappear o vernight.
While epilating stretch your skin with y our free hand.
This lifts up the hair s and helps to minimise the
pulling sensation.
For optimal performance , place the appliance on
the skin at right angles (90°) with the on/off slide
pointing in the direction in which you are going to
mov e the appliance . Guide the appliance across the
skin against the direction of hair growth in a slo w ,
continuous mov ement without exer ting any pressure.
On some areas, hair ma y grow in different directions.
In this case, it may be helpful to mo ve the appliance
in different directions to achieve optimal results.
T o relax the skin, w e advise you to apply a
moisturising cream after epilation.
Fine hair that regrows might not gro w up to the
skin surface. The regular use of an exfoliating sponge
or cream (e.g. during showering) helps to prevent
ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing action
remov es the upper skin layer and ne hair can get
through to the skin surface.
When you use the hair -lifting attachment with
massage element, mak e sure that the massage
element and the comb of the hair -lifting attachment
always sta y in contact with the skin. The massage
element stimulates and relax es the skin for a gentler
epilation.
