  Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance tasks may not be carried out by children unless they are aged 8 or older and are supervised.
  The appliance and its connecting cable must be kept away from children younger than 8 years old.
  People who are insensitive to heat may not use this appliance.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

If you are unsure whether you can safely use the appliance due to pre-existing conditions, consult a doctor before use.
- Do not use the appliance beneath blankets or towels.
If possible, set up the appliance close to a power socket. Ensure that the power plug is quickly reachable in case of danger, and that the cable poses no risk of tripping.
- Provide a stable location for the appliance.

Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids!

• Do not use the appliance if you have heart disease, skin redness, inflammation, swelling, sensitive areas, diabetes, open wounds, burns, eczema or psoriasis.

ATTENTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Never operate this appliance when it is empty (without wax).
- Fill the appliance with wax only. Do not add any aggressive substances or substances containing solvents!
Always place the appliance on a heat-resistant, level surface.
Never heat the wax in the plastic packaging.
Never heat the wax in a microwave oven, over an open flame or on a stove.
- 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.

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 to the inner bowl. Wait until the wax has melted before you start epilating.

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. Add a little melted wax to an unobtrusive area of skin and, after you pull it off, check to see whether the skin has reacted in any way. 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 with 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 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 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 with 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 is completely melted:

1) Open the lid ⑦ by turning it anticlockwise slightly and lifting it upwards.
2) Pick up a little wax with 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 (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 "Warranty and service"). Have the IAN number of the item to hand. You will find this on the cover of the operating instructions and below the service address.

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 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.

Disposal

You can dispose of used wax in the normal waste.

Never dispose of the appliance in your normal domestic waste. This product is subject to the provisions of European Directive 2012/19/EU.
