Problem Cause Solution
Poor
epilating

Problem Cause Solution
You place
the epilating
head on the
skin at the
wrong angle.
Make sure that you
place the appliance
perpendicularly onto
the skin (see chapter
‘Using the appliance’).
You used a
(depilatory)
cream prior to
epilation.
Make sure your skin
is clean, entirely dry
and free from grease.
Do not use any cream
before you start
epilating.
Make sure that the
hairs to be removed
have a length of
at least 3mm to
guarantee proper hair
removal.
The
sensitive area
cap is on the
epilating head
when you
epilate your
legs.
Do not use the
sensitive area cap
when you epilate
your legs, as the cap
reduces the number
of active epilating
discs. NB: Never use
the epilator without
the precision cap
when you epilate your
underarms or bikini
line.
The
appliance
does not
work.
The socket
to which the
appliance is
connected is
not live.
Make sure the
socket is live. If you
have connected
the epilator to the
socket in a bathroom
cabinet, you may
need to switch on
the bathroom light to
activate the socket.
