Methods of removing hair by the root can cause ingrown hairs and minor skin injuries. Please consult your doctor if you have any questions about the use of an epilator.

Do not use the epilator if you suffer from varicose veins, rashes, spots or blemishes, or when the skin is irritated or if you have ingrown hairs or a tendency to produce ingrown hairs. Consult your doctor first.

Any minor injury resulting from hair removal may allow bacteria to penetrate the injury site, potentially causing small scars or a change in pigmentation of the skin. The risk of infection may be minimized by thoroughly cleaning the rotating discs before and/or after each use (see 'Cleaning').

The epilator should only be used after prior consultation with your doctor if you have or experience:

Eczema, psoriasis (scaly eczema), inflamed skin reactions such as folliculitis, skin rashes or the tendency to allergy or allergic skin reactions

Immune deficiency or disorders

Reduced skin immunity as a result of diabetes, pregnancy, Raynaud’s disease, etc.

Moles, raised skin bumps, etc.

If you have been or begin taking hormone medication, or if you have recently been pregnant, a change in your hormone levels may influence the thickness, color or amount of hair growth. This is caused by hormonal changes, not by this method of hair removal.

Use only the cord provided.

When the battery indicator flashes white (Fig. 5), the product is charging.

After 1.5 hours of charging, the product has a cordless operating time of up to 40 minutes.

When the battery indicator lights up white continuously (Fig. 6), the product is fully charged.

The battery indicator does not light up when the product is switched on: the product contains enough energy to be used.

Attaching and detaching the epilating head 1 To attach the epilating head, press it onto the handle ('click') (Fig. 9). 2 To detach the epilating head, press the release button on the back of the product (Fig. 10). How to use your epilator

Use this epilator for its intended household use as described in this manual.

For hygienic reasons, the epilator and attachments should only be used by one person.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair has the optimum length of 1/8 - 5/32in/3-4mm. If the hairs are longer, pretrim them first or shave and epilate after 1 to 2 weeks.

Make sure you hold the epilator handle at a 75° angle on the skin and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 11).

It is normal to experience slight skin irritation (red skin or red dots) after epilating. In this case, it is best to epilate in the evening as most skin irritation disappears overnight. This effect will gradually lessen with each use.

After each use, you may want to apply a non-alcohol based mild cream or body lotion which will help reduce the possibility of skin irritation. Be certain it does not contain alcohol as it may cause discomfort.

Make sure the epilator is fully charged before using. This epilator will not operate while the cord is connected to an electrical outlet. Epilating

Only use the epilator attachment to epilate areas below the neck such as your legs, underarms and bikini line.

Attach the facial cap if you want to epilate facial hair.

For gentle, less painful epilation, epilate in the shower or bath on wet skin with or without shower gel or soap.

For dry epilating, make sure your skin is clean, and free from grease and creams. Do not apply any cream before using. Hairs are easier to remove after a bath or shower, but your skin should be completely dry before using your epilator. 1 Before first use, clean the epilating head (see 'Cleaning'). 2 Press the epilating head onto the handle (Fig. 9). 3 If desired, put an attachment on the epilating head (Fig. 12). NOTE: The attachment will only fit onto the product in one direction. 4 Press the on/off button once to turn on the epilator (Fig. 7).- The epilator starts running at speed II which is the most efficient speed for epilating. The speed II light lights up.

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

Select speed I for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to- reach places and for areas with bones close to the skin's surface, such as knees and ankles.

When you press the on/off button a third time, the epilator turns off. Tip: For greater visibility of fine hairs, the built-in light goes on automatically when epilating (Fig. 13). To turn off, press the on/off button for 3 seconds after turning on the product. 5 Hold the epilator perpendicular to your leg at a 75° angle with the on/off button pointing in the direction you are going to move the product (Fig. 11). 6 Gently press and move the epilator slowly over the skin against the direction of hair growth. If you press too lightly or too hard, the epilator will not be able to grasp and remove the hairs. Experiment until you find the right settings and right amount of pressure for your type of skin and hair. Tip: When epilating sensitive areas, stretch the skin with your free hand. For epilating underarms, put your hand on the back of your head to stretch the skin (Fig. 14). 7 Press the on/off button to turn the epilator OFF. 8 Pull the attachment off the epilating head and clean epilator and attachment (see 'Cleaning'). IMPORTANT:

After using the epilator, some redness or irritation may occur. This is normal and should disappear quickly.

Clean the product and attachments after each use (see 'Cleaning'). Using epilator attachments

When using epilator attachments, always be sure you place the heads flat onto the skin at a 75° angle (Fig. 11).

Simply snap each attachment onto the epilator head ('click') (Fig. 12).

To remove an attachment, grasp its front and back and pull it up off the epilator head (Fig. 15). Massage cap

Attach the massage cap onto the epilating head to massage the skin and minimize the pulling sensation while epilating. Delicate area cap

Attach the delicate area cap onto the epilating head for more comfortable epilating of delicate areas such as underarms and bikini area. Facial cap

Attach the facial cap onto the epilating head for precise epilating of facial hair such as upper lip. Do not use the appliance to epilate eyelashes, eyebrows or scalp hair. Efficiency cap

Attach the efficiency cap onto the epilating head to keep skin tight and help reduce pain while epilating. Body massage head

Remove the epilator head by pressing the release button on the back of the appliance (Fig. 10).

Attach the body massage head to the coupling unit and then attach to the appliance handle (Fig. 16). The body massage head rotates firmly to relax muscles. Body exfoliation brush

Remove the epilator head by pressing the release button on the back of the appliance (Fig. 10).

Attach the body exfoliation brush to the coupling unit and then attach to the appliance handle. (Fig. 17) The body exfoliation brush helps remove dead skin cells. Do not use the body exfoliation brush on your face. Shaving Do not use the shaving head if the foil damaged or broken, as injury may occur.

Use the shaving head to shave your legs, underarms and bikini line.

Attach the shaving head comb onto the shaving head to shave hairs to a length of 1/8in/3mm (Fig. 18). When you remove the comb, always grasp the comb on the sides (Fig. 19).

To shave legs and bikini line, always move the appliance gently over the skin against the direction of hair growth.

To shave underarms, place one arm behind your head and move the appliance up and down and from left to right. Trimming

Use the trimmer head to trim hard-to-reach areas in the bikini zone.

Attach the trimmer head comb onto the trimmer head to trim hairs in the bikini zone to a length of 1/8in/3mm (Fig. 20).

To create precise lines, place the trimmer head perpendicular onto the skin (Fig. 21). Caution: Do not use the trimmer head without the comb on intimate areas other than the bikini line as this could cause injury. Overheat protection Note: To avoid overheating of the product, do not press the product too hard onto your skin. The product works best when you move it over your skin without exerting any pressure. 1 If the overheat protection is activated, the product turns off automatically. The speed lights start flashing. 2 Let the product cool down. The lights stop flashing after 4 seconds. 3 When the product has cooled down, you can turn it on again. If the lights start flashing again, the product has not yet cooled down completely. Cleaning IMPORTANT:
