How to use
Switch
Your wax heater can be used with either normal temperature or low temperature waxes. The red scale helps you choose a comfortable temperature if you are using normal wax. For low temperature waxes use the green scale.
When using with 200 g of wax
Set the temperature control (g) at the midway position for approximately 5 minutes. Then set the temperature control to «minimum». As soon as the wax begins to melt, stir it occasionally.
The wax will be ready to use after about 10 minutes.
Test the temperature by dipping the applicator into the wax. The temperature is right, if the wax does not drip from the applicator. (If it does, the wax is too hot, which may cause skin irritation.) If the wax is too hot, set the temperature control down (towards «minimum»). If the consistency is too thick, set the temperature control a little higher (towards «maximum»).
Before applying the wax, check whether the temperature is adequate for your skin’s sensitivity by dotting a little wax on the back of your hand. Once set, the thermostat will keep the temperature constant. The tem- perature in the filter tank is controlled independently to ensure quick melting/filtering of the wax.
When unsing with 500 g of wax Set the temperature control (g) to «maximum» for about 15 minutes. Then turn the temperature control down to «minimum». Proceed as described under «When using with 200 g of wax».
Application e.g. on legs
For good results, your hair should be at least 3 mm long. You should not use the Lady Braun Epilette 2 after sunbathing. Wait at least 24 hours. Before you start, your skin should be dry and free of creams, etc. Use a little talcum, if necessary.
Stroke your leg against the direction of hair growth with your hand to raise the hair.
Using the large applicator, apply a layer of wax about 15 cm long and 5 cm wide starting at the top and working downward (1). Lift up the bottom part of the strip slightly as soon as you have put the wax on your skin. That will give you a firmer hold when pulling it off.
Do not let the wax get too hard. Otherwise, it will dry and crumble when you try to remove it.
Pull the strip off as soon as your fingertip no longer sticks to the wax when touching it.
Pull the strip of wax in one stroke from the bottom towards the top, i.e. against the direction of hair growth Repeat the pocedure, until your legs are completely smooth and free of hair.
Should there be spots of wax that did not come off when removing the strip of wax the first time, apply a little more hot wax over the spot and pull off again after cooling. Or put a little alcohol on a cotton pad and moisten the spot of wax with it. After removing hair with the Lady Braun Epilette 2, apply a facial tonic and, finally, a good moisturizing cream or lotion.
Facial application
Stroke an even layer of wax using the small applicator to your upper lip. Work it from top to bottom and towards the sides. Allow the wax to cool off briefly and pull off in one stroke towards the inside.
Apply a litle facial tonic and then a good moisturizing cream.
Continuous filtering
Put the used strips of wax in the filter tank 2. The wax will melt quickly and flow through the filter mesh into the use tank to mix with the wax there. Important: Always stir the wax briefly before using it.
Cleaning the filter
Once you have finished, keep the appliance plugged in until all the wax in the filter tank has melted completely. Then clean the applicators on the metal edge (e). Take the filter tank out of the appliance 3 and, using the small applicator, empty the hair caught in the filter tank onto a thick piece of paper. Hold the filter tank by the plastic rims only 3, as the metal parts get hot.
Replace the filter tank and unplug the appliance. Wait a few minutes for the appliance to cool off before putting the cover (c) back on.
The storage drawer (d) offers con- venient storage for the applicators. Keep the filtered wax in the wax heater. It can be used several times. However, a certain amount of wax will be used up during every appli- cation. Add a little new wax the next time you use the Lady Braun Epilette 2.
After several applications, cosmetic wax loses its pliancy. Replace it entirely when it starts to crumble: Heat the wax until it becomes soft and remove it from the wax heater with the applicator.
