A How to epilate
• Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
• Before use, make sure that the epilation
head (2) is clean.
To turn on the appliance, slide up the on/
off switch (4):
Setting «I»: extra gentle
Setting «II»: extra efficient
When switched on, the switch light illumi-
nates the area to be epilated.
Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For opti-
mal performance, hold the appliance at
a right angle (90°) against your skin and
guide it without pressure against the hair
growth, in the direction of the switch.
The massaging rollers (1) stimulate the
skin before and after the hair is pulled out
for an extra gentle epilation experience.
Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an
upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.
Underarm and bikini line epilation
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recom-
mend that you start with switch setting
«I». With repeated usage the pain sensa-
tion will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residue (like
deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with a
towel.
When epilating the underarm, keep your
arm raised up and guide the appliance in
different directions.
Cleaning
After epilating, unplug the appliance,
remove the massaging rollers and clean
the epilation head (2).

Thoroughly clean the tweezer element
using the cleaning brush dipped into
alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn the
tweezer element manually.
To remove the epilation head, press the
release buttons (3) on the left and right
and pull it off. After cleaning, place the
epilation head and the massaging rollers
back on the housing.
B How to use the shaver
head
(7)
a Trimmer cap
b Shaver foil frame with long hair
trimmer
c Release bars
d Cutter block
e Shaver head base
Remove the epilation head and attach
the shaver head (7) by clicking it in (the
long hair trimmer should be in front).
Remove the trimmer cap (a). When using
the shaver head, always select switch
setting «II».
For best results, guide the shaving
system in a way that about half of the
shaving foil and the long hair trimmer
touch your skin.
Always guide the appliance in the
direction of the trimmer. The trimmer first
raises all long hairs and cuts them off.
Then the flexible foil follows to smooth
away any stubble.
Pre-cutting hair for epilation
If you choose to pre-cut your hair to
the ideal length for epilation, place the
trimmer cap onto the shaver head.
Hold the appliance with the trimmer cap
lying flat on the skin and guide it with the
comb tips against the hair growth.
As hairs grow in various directions, guide
the appliance slightly diagonally or in
different directions in order to achieve
best results.
