-- If you are not used to epilation, we advise you to start epilating with the optimal performance cap.This cap ensures optimal skin contact and its pivoting head stretches the skin and prepares the hairs for epilation.

-- If your hairs lie flat on your skin, we advise you to use the active hairlifter with active massage. The active hairlifter with active massage not only lifts up the hairs but its active massaging roller also minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.

Note: Remove the basic epilation cap before you attach the optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter with active massage.

1Squeeze both sides of the basic epilation cap (1) and pull it off the appliance (2) (Fig. 5).

2 Put the desired attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 6).

Note:The procedure for placing the attachments onto the appliance is the same for all attachments.

3Press the on/off button once to switch on the epilator.

,, The epilator starts running at speed II, which is the most efficient speed for epilation.The bottom speed setting indication II lights up (Fig. 7).

,, If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time.The top speed setting indication I lights up (Fig. 8).

Tip: Speed I is suitable for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles.

,, When you press the on/off button a third time, the epilator switches off.

4Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.

5Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/off button pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 9).

6Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of hair growth.

-- When you use the optimal performance cap, make sure that both rollers of the skin stretcher always stay in contact with the skin to ensure an optimal result.

-- When you use the active hairlifter with active massage, make sure the active massaging roller and the active hairlifter always stay in contact with the skin.The massaging roller stimulates and relaxes the skin for a gentler epilation.

Overheat protection

The epilator has an integrated overheat protection, which prevents overheating of the appliance.

Note:To avoid overheating of the epilator, do not press the appliance too hard onto your skin.The epilator works best when you move it over your skin without exerting any pressure.

1If the overheat protection is activated, the appliance switches off automatically and the speed setting indications flash red.

2Let the appliance cool down.

,, The lights stop flashing after 30 seconds.

3When the appliance has cooled down, you can switch it on again. If the lights start to flash red again, the appliance has not yet cooled down completely.

Overload protection

If you press the epilating head too hard onto your skin or when the rotating tweezers of the epilating head get blocked (e.g. by clothes etc.), the appliance stops and the speed setting indications start to flash red for 5 seconds.

1Check if the rotating tweezers of the epilating head are blocked by turning the tweezers with your thumb until you can remove whatever is blocking the rotating tweezers.
