Using the appliance

General information about epilation

Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating.

When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.

Before epilating longer hairs on sensitive skin areas, shorten them with a trimmer or a pair of scissors.

Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and will quickly disappear.As you use the appliance more often, your skin will get used to epilation, skin irritation will decrease and regrowth will become thinner and softer. If the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.

We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as this will allow any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight.

Epilating with the leg skin cooler

Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you start epilating.

1Slide the insulating sleeve onto the skin cooler (fig. 2).

The insulating sleeve prevents an unpleasant sensation of coldness in your hand while using the appliance and keeps the skin cooler cold as long as possible.

Occasionally the pivoting cooling head may freeze onto the skin cooler and won't move when you take the skin cooler from the freezer.The pivoting cooling head will start pivoting again after you have passed it over your leg a few times.

2Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (fig. 3).

3Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put the adapter in the wall socket.
