ENGLISH

Thank you for choosing Remington®. Our products are designed to meet the highest standard of quality, functionality and design. We hope you enjoy using your new Remington product.

The Remington® epilator removes hair from the legs, arms, bikini line and underarms. It removes hair from the root all over the body so you'll be soft and smooth for up to 4 weeks.

Please read the instructions for use carefully and keep them in a safe place for future reference. Only use the epilator for use as described in this instruction booklet.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON EPILATION

This Remington® epilator has been designed to make the removal of unwanted hairs as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its curved epilation head is especially designed to fit the contours of your body and the hair guides channel fine, short and flat hair into the tweezer discs.

The rotating tweezers catch even the shortest hairs (minimum length 0.5mm) and pull them out by the root. The hairs that grow back are soft and thin. Epilating leaves your skin smooth and hair-free for several weeks.

If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a long period of time, it may take a short while for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort experienced at first is considerably reduced with repeated use as the skin adjusts to the process.

Using an epilator may cause reddening or irritation of the skin. This is a normal reaction that will quickly disappear. However, you should consult your doctor if the irritation has not disappeared within three days.

All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-growing hair depending on the condition of the skin and hair. Regular exfoliation helps to prevent in-growing hair.

In some cases inflammation of the skin could occur when bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epilation head before each use will minimise the risk of infection.

Some useful tips

When using an epilator for the first time it is best to try it on a small area to get used to the process of epilation.
The optimum length for hair removal is between 2-5mm. Epilation is easier and more comfortable.
▶ Take a warm bath or shower before epilating and exfoliate to remove dead skin cells. This will make your skin more pliable, making the epilation process less uncomfortable.
Epilate in the evening so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight.
▶ After use you can use a body cream or aloe lotion to sooth the skin and reduce skin irritation.
▶ Regularly exfoliate after epilation to avoid in-growing hair.

HOW TO USE

Before epilating, make sure that your skin is clean, dry and free from creams or oils.

Remove protective cap and turn the epilator on to the desired speed. Low is recommended for fine hair and high is recommended for course hair or stronger hair growth.
Using your free hand, hold the skin taut to make the hairs stand upright.
Position the epilator flat so that the stainless steel discs are at 90° angle and flat against the skin. Remington ^® 's epilation head is curved to ensure maximum contact with the area of hair removal. (Diagram A)
Using small circular motions, slowly and gently glide the epilator over the skin. This circular motion is the most effective method and makes the process less uncomfortable. Alternatively, guide the epilator in a slow, continuous movement against the hair growth. (Diagram B)
▶ Repeat within each area until all unwanted hair is removed.
▶ After epilating, turn the epilator off and replace the protective cap.

ARM/LEG EPILATION (Diagram C)

Epilate from the lower arm/leg and slowly move upwards. To epilate behind the elbow/knee, keep the arm/leg straight to stretch the skin.

UNDERARMS AND BIKINI (Diagram D & E)

Please be aware that these areas are particularly sensitive. However this sensitivity will reduce after repeated usage. For more comfort, ensure that the skin is held taut and that the hair is at the optimum length of 2-5mm. If it has been an extended period of time since you have removed hair, trim the hair with a Remington ^® bikini trimmer or cosmetic trimmer before epilation.

When epilating underarm, raise your arm so that the skin is stretched. Guide the epilator in circular movements. Avoid using substances which may cause irritation, such as deodorants, directly after epilation (preferably overnight).

CAUTION:

For your protection your epilator may slow down or even stop if pressed too firmly against the skin.
Do not use the epilating head on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles or wounds without consulting a doctor. People with reduced immune response e.g. during pregnancy, or people who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor before using this product.
For hygiene reasons do not let another person use your epilator. It is recommended for use by one person only.

Why exfoliate?

Exfoliation prevents ingrowing hairs. Ingrown hairs occur when the growing hair curls up under the skin instead of growing out like it should. It results in an often painful red bump and possible infections. Rubbing your skin with an exfoliation glove in the shower or bath will help reduce ingrown hairs or infections.

CARE FOR YOUR EPILATOR

To ensure long lasting performance of your epilator, clean the head assembly regularly. Always keep the protective cap on the epilation head when the epilator is not in use.

AFTER EACH USE

CLEANING THE EPILATION HEAD

▶ Ensure the epilator is turned off and disconnected from the mains.
▶ Press the head release button/s and open the head assembly. (Diagram G)
▶ Turn the head assembly upside down.
Using your thumbs, push the small sides together and push the epilation head upwards. This releases the curved epilation head.
Brush the accumulated hair from the tweezers by turning the barrel manually.
NOTE: The body of the epilator is not washable. Do not submerge in water.

TO REMOVE RESIDUE

To remove residue from the stainless steel tweezers, dampen a swab with alcohol. Gently run the swab over the tweezers until the residue has been removed.

CAUTION: Make sure that the cotton swab is not soaked in alcohol as this may damage the epilator.

Not suitable for cleaning under water.
