Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we recommend that you either shave first and epilate the shorter re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.

When epilating for the first time, it is advisable to epilate in the evening, so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight. To relax the skin we recom- mend applying a moisture cream after epilation.

Fine hair which re-grows might not grow up to the skin surface. The regular use of massage sponges (e.g. after showering) or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.

How to epilate

Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.

Keep in mind that epilation is more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm (see section «Some useful tips»).

Before starting, thoroughly clean the epilation head 2 .

Plug the cord connector 6 into the socket 5 and plug the transformer plug 7 into an electrical outlet.

1To turn on the appliance, slide switch 4 to setting «2»

(«2» = normal speed, «1» = reduced speed).

2Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For optimum performance hold the appliance at a right angle (90°) against your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous movement without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch. The SoftLift® tips will make sure that even flat lying hair is lifted and removed thoroughly at the root.

As hair can grow in different directions, it may also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve optimum results.

Both rollers of the massaging rollers clip 1 should always be kept in contact with the skin in order to stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation.

3Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

4Underarm and bikini line epilation Please be aware that especially at the beginning these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish. For more comfort, ensure that the hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm. 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 so that the skin
