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 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 ap- pliance is not in use! Preparing the appliance Once the appliance is set up on a suitable surface:

1) Remove the wax discs from its packaging.

2) Add the required number of wax discs to the inner bowl .

Use the following standard values as an orientation aid. The values may vary.GB

27 ■ SWWS 240 A1 Body region Number of wax discs 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 on the appliance by placing the plastic tab in the

groove and then turning the lid clockwise slightly (see fold-out page):

4) Insert the plug of the power cable into the socket on the

5) Insert the plug into a mains power socket. The control lamp 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 have melted (this takes about 25–30 minutes for 6 discs), you can start epilating.■ 28 

SWWS 240 A1 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 regu- lar 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.GB

29 ■ SWWS 240 A1 Legs Once the wax discs are completely melted:

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

2) Pick up a little wax with the spatula . 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 approxi- mate 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 into the tray

on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula projects over the inner bowl .

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 goes out.■ 30 

SWWS 240 A1 Armpits Once the wax disc is completely melted:

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

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 . 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 into the tray

on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula projects over the inner bowl .

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.GB

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 goes out. Bikini zone Once the wax disc is completely melted:

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

2) Pick up a little wax with the spatula . You can wipe off excess

wax on the rim of the appliance.

3) After application, you can place the spatula into the tray

on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula projects over the inner bowl . 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 direc-

tion 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 goes out.■ 32 

SWWS 240 A1 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!

33 ■ SWWS 240 A1 NOTE ► You do not need to clean the inner bowl and remove the wax residues after every use. The wax remaining in the appli- ance can be melted and reused for the next application! ► To reorder wax discs , 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 on the inside of the rim of the appliance immediately after use. ■ Wipe the spatula as well as the rim of the appliance immedi- ately 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 for locking the lid ! Wipe the spatula 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 for locking the lid ! – Remove any oil residue with a clean paper towel.■ 34 

SWWS 240 A1 Storage NOTE ► You do not need to clean the inner bowl and remove the wax residues after every use. The wax remaining in the appli- ance can be melted and reused for the next application! ■ Once the appliance and the spatula have been cleaned as described in the “Cleaning” section: – Lay the spatula in the tray on the edge of the appliance so that the spatula protrudes over the inner bowl . – Put the lid on. – Store the cooled-down appliance in a clean, dry location. NOTE ► If you are unable to remove/turn the lid when you remove it from storage, there is probably solidified wax between the lid and the appliance. In this case, heat up the appliance for about 10 minutes (depending on the amount of wax) with the lid closed. The wax will soften and the lid can now be removed.GB
