How to use

Epilation head

Areas suitable for epilation

The epilator can be used on the areas.

• Using the epilator on areas other than those marked may cause pain or skin trouble.

Areas not suitable for epilation

The epilator should not be used on the inner side of the upper arms and areas such as elbows or knees which are prone to sagging.

Slide the switch [F②] to the 1 (low speed) or 2 (normal speed) position and carry out epilation.

• If you are concerned about pain during epilation, then please use with 1 (low speed) setting.
• Apply the epilator at 90^ to your skin and move it slowly so that it slides over your skin.

Upwards from the bottom of the leg. Inwards from the outside of the arm.

Tips for best epilation results

The hair removal is not permanent, so after the 2nd use we recommend that you epilate the arms and legs about once every two weeks.

When epilating for the first time, or when using on sensitive skin, we recommend using the gentle cap.

The gentle cap has a skin protector for gentler epilation, to remove hair by holding the skin down to reduce pain.

We recommend warming the skin to soften the skin before use.
We also recommend to use with 1 (low speed) setting. This page

1. Remove the fast cap [A].

2. Attach the gentle cap [3].

• Massaging with a body puff may help to prevent ingrown hairs.
• Reddening might appear after use. A cool towel will help if you feel pain or there is a rash.
  If your skin gets dry after epilation, we recommend applying a moisture lotion two days after epilation.
  Make sure skin is clean before and after use.

Trim your hair before epilating for the first time or if you have not epilated for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.

Shaver head ES-WS24

Before shaving, wipe dry any moisture or sweat from the skin.

1 Attach the shaver head [E].
- Confirm the bikini comb [D] is detached.
2 Check that the outer foil is not deformed or damaged.
3 Slide the switch [F] to the 1 (low speed) or 2 (normal speed) position and carry out shaving.
- Press gently so that the whole blade is in close contact with the skin and the surface of the blade does not move up and down.

After use

1. Slide the switch (F②) to the 0 position.
2. Remove the AC adaptor from the household outlet, and remove the appliance plug from the main body.

Cleaning

• Always clean the heads and caps after use to keep them in a hygienic state.

• Switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
  Take care not to damage the skin protector, the frame, the fast cap and the gentle cap during cleaning.

• Lift fast/gentle caps upward while holding the frame release ribs [AB②] or remove the frame by pushing the frame release button [E⑩].

1. Clean the gentle cap [B], the epilation head for legs/arms [C] and the shaver head [E] with the cleaning brush [F].

Replacing the outer foil and the inner blade ES-WS24

We recommend replacing the outer foil [E5] every year and the inner blade [E9] every two years. Remove the outer foil of the shaver head [E] only when replacing it.

Replacing the outer foil

1. While pushing the outer foil gently with the fingers, use a fingernail to release the plastic panel (on the blade from the hooks on the inside of the frame.
2. The new outer foil should be slightly bent and pushed in until it is hooked in the frame.

Replacing the inner blade

1. Remove the inner blade by holding it at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver.
2. Insert the inner blade by holding it at both ends and press downward.
