Frequently Asked Questions - SWWS 240 C1 SILVERCREST

How to use the SWWS 240 C1 wax heater?

Place the device on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Insert wax discs into the inner tub (max 6 at a time). Close the lid, plug in the device, and wait for the wax to melt (approx. 25-30 min for 6 discs). Apply wax with the spatula in the direction of hair growth, wait 30-60 seconds for it to dry, then quickly remove against the direction of growth.

How many wax discs are needed for each area?

For each lower leg: about 2 discs. For armpits: 1 disc. For the bikini area: 1 disc. For the whole body (legs, armpits, bikini): about 6 discs in total.

How to clean the device after use?

First unplug the device. Let it cool down. Use a cloth soaked in baby oil (or olive oil) to wipe the spatula and the edge of the device. Clean the lid rails to remove wax residue. Never immerse the device in water.

What to do if the wax cools too quickly?

If the wax hardens before application, you can reheat it. Keep the device on and stir the wax. If necessary, add additional discs. The wax should be fluid for even application.

Can I use the device on sensitive skin?

First do a patch test on a discreet area. Do not use the device on irritated, burned, or eczematous skin, or if you have diabetes, heart conditions, etc. Consult a doctor if in doubt.

How to remove wax residue from the skin?

Use baby oil, olive oil, or another cooking oil. Apply to the skin and massage gently to dissolve the wax. Then wash with warm water and soap.

Does the device turn off automatically?

Yes, the device turns off automatically after 60 minutes. A light flashes after 55 minutes to warn you. However, it is recommended to unplug the device after use.

Can I use the device in the bathroom?

No, the device must not be used near water (bathtubs, showers, sinks). There is a risk of electric shock. Use only in dry rooms.

What to do if the lid doesn't open after storage?

Cold wax residue can block the lid. Plug in the device and heat for about 10 minutes with the lid closed. The wax will soften and the lid can be opened by turning gently.

Where to order replacement wax discs?

You can order wax discs (reference SWWS 240 C1) via SilverCrest after-sales service (hotline or website www.kompernass.com). Have your IAN number ready.

- Do not use an external timer switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance.
▶ Never use pointed or sharp objects to remove solidified wax from the appliance.

Before first use

1) Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth both inside and outside to remove any residual dust left over from transport. Dry it well so that there is no moisture left in the appliance.
2) Place the appliance on a level and heat-resistant surface. Also keep in mind that wax splashes may drip onto the surface. The surface should therefore be easy to clean.

Automatic switch-off

After 60 minutes, the appliance will switch off automatically. After 55 minutes, the control lamp ② will start flashing to notify you that the appliance is about to switch off automatically.

The automatic switch-off is not intended as a substitute for removing the plug from the mains power after use! It is merely a safety feature! Always remove the plug from the mains power socket when the appliance is not in use!

Preparing the appliance

Once the appliance is set up on a suitable surface:

1) Remove the wax discs ⑨ from its packaging.
2) Add the required number of wax discs ⑨ to the inner bowl ①. Use the following standard values as an orientation aid. The values may vary.

Body region	Number of wax discs 9
Lower leg approx. 2 pcs. lower leg
Armpits 1 pc.
Bikini zone 1 pc.
Entire body(lower leg, armpits,bikini zone)	6 pcs.

This symbol, together with a date, on the packaging of the wax discs ⑨ indicates how long the product will last.

3) Put the lid ⑦ on the appliance by placing the plastic tab in the groove ⑤ and then turning the lid ⑦ clockwise slightly (see fold-out page):
4) Insert the plug ③ of the power cable into the socket ④ on the appliance.
5) Insert the plug into a mains power socket. The control lamp ② in the base of the appliance comes on and the appliance heats up.
6) Stir the wax occasionally while it is melting.
As soon as the wax discs ⑨ have melted (this takes about 25–30 minutes for 6 discs), you can start epilating.

NOTE

If you realise that you need more wax than you have melted, you can add additional wax discs ⑨ to the inner bowl ①. Wait until the wax has melted before you start epilating.
▶ Melt a maximum of 6 wax discs ⑨ at once.

Epilation

The skin regions that you want to epilate should be dry, clean and free of care products, oils or fats.

NOTES

Before first use, carry out a skin test to find out whether your skin reacts to the treatment. Apply a small amount of melted wax to an inconspicuous area of skin. After removing the wax, check to see whether the skin reacts in any way over the course of the next 24 hours. If you notice any skin reactions, stop using this appliance. If in any doubt, seek medical advice.
▶ If you have a tendency towards ingrowing hairs, carry out regular peelings. These can prevent the hairs from growing inwards.
▶ Always pull off the wax strips as close as possible to the skin surface.
Make sure that you don't get any wax on your clothes. Wax residue can be very difficult to remove and may discolour clothing.

Legs

Once the wax discs ⑨ are completely melted:

1) Open the lid ⑦ by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it upwards.
2) Pick up a little wax using the flattened edge of the spatula ⑧. You can wipe off excess wax on the rim of the appliance.
3) Apply the wax to the skin in the direction of hair growth (from the knee towards the heel). The wax strips should have the approximate thickness of an orange peel and the area of two spatulas ⑧ laid side by side. You may have to add wax. Try to make sure that one end of the applied wax strip (the end nearer to your heel) is a little thicker as you will need to be able to grip this end for removal.
4) After application, you can place the spatula ⑧ into the tray ⑥ on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula ⑧ projects over the inner bowl ①.
5) Wait about 30 - 60 seconds until the wax is dry.
6) Pull the skin taut with one hand. Grip the wax strip by the thicker end and pull it off with a rapid movement against the direction of hair growth (from your ankle towards your knee).
Repeat the process for the remaining areas of skin.
7) When you are finished with the treatment, pull the plug from the mains power socket to turn off the appliance. The control lamp ② goes out.

Armpits

Once the wax disc ⑨ is completely melted:

1) Open the lid ⑦ by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it upwards.

NOTE

As armpit hairs tend to grow in different directions, they need to be removed in at least two steps.

2) Raise your elbow upwards and hold it out behind you. This tightens the skin in the armpit.

3) Pick up a little wax using the flattened edge of the spatula ⑧. You can wipe off excess wax on the rim of the appliance.

4) Apply this immediately from the middle of the armpit upwards in the direction of the elbow. The wax strips should be roughly the thickness of orange peel. Try to make sure that one end of the applied wax strip (the end nearer to your elbow) is a little thicker as you will need to be able to grip this end for removal.

5) After application, you can place the spatula ⑧ into the tray ⑥ on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula ⑧ projects over the inner bowl ①.

6) Wait about 30-60 seconds until the wax is dry.

7) Grip the wax strip by the thicker end (the end nearer to your elbow) and pull it off downwards with a rapid movement against the direction of hair growth.

8) To depilate the lower part of the armpit, apply the wax from the middle of the armpit towards the bottom.

9) Wait about 30-60 seconds until the wax is dry.

10) Grip the wax strip at the lower end and pull it off upwards with a rapid movement against the direction of hair growth.
11) When you are finished with the treatment, pull the plug from the mains power socket to turn off the appliance. The control lamp ② goes out.

Bikini zone

Once the wax disc ⑨ is completely melted:

1) Open the lid ⑦ by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it upwards.
2) Pick up a little wax using the flattened edge of the spatula ⑧. You can wipe off excess wax on the rim of the appliance.
3) After application, you can place the spatula ⑧ into the tray ⑥ on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula ⑧ projects over the inner bowl ①.

NOTE

▶ When epilating the bikini zone, treat only small areas at once. The skin is very sensitive.

4) Tighten the skin with one hand and apply the wax in the direction of hair growth (towards your inner thigh).
5) Wait about 30 - 60 seconds until the wax is dry.
6) Grip the wax strip by the thicker end (the end nearer to your inner thigh) and pull it off downwards with a rapid movement against the direction of hair growth.

Repeat the process for the remaining areas of skin.

7) When you are finished with the treatment, pull the plug from the mains power socket to turn off the appliance. The control lamp ② goes out.

After epilation

■ Clean the spatula ⑧ (see section "Cleaning").

■ You can remove small quantities of residual wax from your skin using baby oil. If you do not have any baby oil, you can also use olive oil or some other edible oil.

■ You skin may be slightly reddened after epilation. This is normal. Run cold water over affected areas. This soothes the skin. If your skin does not recover and/or you experience a burning sensation, contact a doctor.

Cleaning

WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the mains power socket!
▶ NEVER immerse the appliance in water or other liquids!

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning it.

ATTENTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

▶ Never use pointed or sharp objects to remove solidified wax from the appliance!
▶ Do not use any chemical, abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the appliance!

NOTE

You do not need to clean the inner bowl ① and remove the wax residues after every use. The wax remaining in the appliance can be melted and reused for the next application!
To reorder wax discs ⑨, contact our Customer Service (see section "Ordering spare parts").

Scrape the surplus wax off the spatula ⑧ on the inside of the rim of the appliance immediately after use.

Wipe the spatula ⑧ as well as the rim of the appliance immediately after use with a cloth moistened with a little baby oil. This will allow you to remove any still-soft wax residue. Preferably use an old cloth as wax residue is extremely difficult to remove from textiles. If you do not have any baby oil in the house, you can also use olive oil or some other edible oil for cleaning. Make sure that no wax residue remains in the grooves ⑤ for locking the lid ⑦! Wipe the spatula ⑧ and the rim afterwards with a paper cloth to remove any remaining oil.

If there is any wax left on the outside of the appliance, proceed as follows:

—Ensure that the appliance is unplugged but still warm.
— Wipe the surface with a cloth moistened with a little oil.
- Make sure that no wax residue remains in the grooves ⑤ for locking the lid ⑦!
—Remove any oil residue with a clean paper towel.

Storage

NOTE

You do not need to clean the inner bowl ① and remove the wax residues after every use. The wax remaining in the appliance can be melted and reused for the next application!

Once the appliance and the spatula ⑧ have been cleaned as described in the "Cleaning" section:

• Lay the spatula ⑧ in the tray ⑥ on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula ⑧ protrudes over the inner bowl ①.
  — Put the lid ⑦ on.
  — Store the cooled-down appliance in a clean, dry location.

NOTE

If you are unable to remove/turn the lid ⑦ when you remove it from storage, there is probably solidified wax between the lid ⑦ and the appliance. In this case, heat up the appliance for about 10 minutes (depending on the amount of wax) with the lid ⑦ closed. The wax will soften and the lid ⑦ can now be removed.

You can dispose of used wax in the normal waste.
