dry cloth and allow the appliance
to dry thoroughly. Leaving the
appliance wet for long periods of
time can cause malodor.
Use foam to achieve the best
results
• Apply sufficient foam.
Note: The foam guides the hair into
the discs. If there is insufficient
foam, then there is the possibility
that the hair may not be removed,
making it difficult to properly carry
out epilation.
• E n s u r e t h a t t h e fo a m i s f i r m
enough.
NOTE: If the foam is too soft, then
it will be difficult to catch the hair.
Increase the volume of liquid body
soap or reduce the volume of
water to make the foam firmer.
The foaming characteristics and
the firmness of foam will var y
depending on the characteristics
of the body soap used.
• Apply the epilator at right angles
to the skin and move it slowly.
Note: After the foam is applied it
is easy to move the epilator too
quickly. Take care to place the
head lightly against the skin and
move it slowly.
Cordless operation of the
epilator (Dry Epilation)
• Remove the cap.
• Attach the head you wish to use.
• Slide the switch to 1 or 2 position
and carry out epilation.
• After completing epilation, slide the
switch to the 0·charge position.

epilation discs and skin protector

c ra cke d o r m i s s h a p e n . I f th ey
are, then please do not use the
appliance.
Failure to do so can cause damage
to the skin.
If you are concerned about pain
during epilation then please use the
1 position. However, bear in mind
that people sense pain differently
so in some cases you may feel
more pain on the 1 position.
The movement of the discs makes
some noise but this is perfectly
normal.
Please do not drop the appliance or
bang it against anything solid.
(This can cause the skin protector
o r e p i l a t i o n d i s c s t o b e c o m e
damaged, cracked or misshapen.)
Correct usage for best epilation
results
• For the first use, or if not having
e p i l a t e d fo r a l o n g t i m e, w e
recommend trimming hairs before
epilation. Leg and arm hair should
be shortened to a length of 3 to 5
mm.
• Apply epilator at right angles (90°)
a g a i n s t yo u r s k i n . Fo r b e s t
epilation results keep in contact
with the skin surface. Pressing
gently and guide the appliance
slowly against hair growth. This

the skin with the skin protector
vertically touching against it.
NOTE: You may drop some hair so
please lay out a piece of paper, etc.
to catch it.
Legs and arms epilation (Fig. 5)
When epilating legs or arms, please
use the epilation head.
Do not use this head on the underarm
or on the bikini line.
Important for arms and legs epilation:
Apply epilator at right angles (90°)
against your skin.
Pressing the appliance too hard onto
the skin or using it on an angle can
cause damage to the skin.
Press gently and guide the appliance
slowly against hair growth.
If you move the appliance too fast
then you will find a large number of
missed hairs.
• Holding the appliance correctly
Place your thumb on the area
around the switch and hold the
appliance from the side.
Touching the head with your finger
can interfere with the operation of
the appliance.
Legs: Move the appliance upwards
from the bottom of the leg.
Arms: Move the appliance inwards
from the outside of the arm.
Upper arms: Move the appliance
upwards from the bottom of the
upper arms.
NOTE: When using the appliance
on areas where the skin is prone to
sagging (on the inside of the knees
and elbows), pull and stretch the
skin so that it is tight.
Shaving
Shaving with soap lather
Before using make sure the blade
is not warped or damaged, as this
may cause injury.
• Shaving with lather makes the skin
slippery for a closer shave.
• Do not use shaving cream, skin
cream, or skin lotion.
Doing so will clog the blades.
When the hair is short, it makes
the hair removal easier and also
reduces the pain to shorten the hair.
If epilation is carried out when the
hair is too long it can get caught
inside the appliance and cause it to
malfunction.
For legs and arms
It is helpful to use a shaver head
with bikini comb.
For underarms and bikini-line
It is helpful to use a shaver head 3
to 5 days before using the epilator.
• Remove the bikini comb.
• Check that the outer foil is not
warped or damaged.
• Slide the switch to either 1 or 2
position.
Shaving with bikini comb
Place bikini comb onto the shaver
head, and slide trimmer up. When
the bikini comb is in place, make
sure the comb is in close contact
with the skin.
