Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length
of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are
longer, we recommend that you pre-cut
the hair to this length before epilating.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear
overnight. To relax the skin we recom-
mend applying a moisture cream after
epilation.
Fine hair that re-grows may not grow up
to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer
allowing fine hair to get through to the skin
surface.

How to epilate
Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Before starting off, thoroughly clean the
epilation head .
Attach the epilation head and make
sure that the massaging rollers clip is
in place.
Plug the cord connector into the
socket and plug the special cord set
into an electrical outlet.
1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch
to setting «2»
(«2» = normal speed,
«1» = reduced speed).
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For
optimum performance hold the ap-
pliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against the
hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. The SoftLift™ tips will make
sure that even flat-lying hair is lifted and
removed thoroughly at the root.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
Both rollers of the massaging rollers
clip should always be kept in contact
with the skin, allowing the pulsating
movements to stimulate and relax the
skin for a gentler epilation.
If you are used to epilation and look for
a faster way to efficiently remove hair,
please use the EfficiencyPro clip .
It allows maximum skin contact and
ensures optimum usage so that more
hairs are removed in one stroke.
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretched
out straight.
4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
Use tests monitored by dermatolo-
gists have revealed that you can also
epilate the underarm and the bikini line.
Please be aware that these areas are
particularly sensitive to pain. With
repeated usage the pain sensation will
diminish.
