Operation - Beurer ELLE HLE 50 Gebrauchsanleitung

4. Operation

• Remove the packaging.
• Check the device, power supply and cables for damage.
• Connect the device to the mains power. The device must be switched off at this time.
• Route the cable safely so that there is no risk of anyone tripping over it.
• Charge the device for 2 hours before the first use.
• If the charger indicator lamps flash slowly this means that the battery is charging. Once the display is
permanently illuminated, the device is fully charged.
• Then you can begin using the device either on battery power or using the mains cable.
• If the charger indicator lamps flash rapidly during battery operation, the battery is empty.
C harge the device by placing it on the station or connecting it to the mains adapter.
• One charge is sufficient for approx. 30 minutes of wireless operation. After that you can continue to use
the device via mains operation.
cautIOn
• For hygiene reasons, you should not share this device with anyone else.
• When switched on, the device should not come into contact with other areas of skin (e.g. eyela-
shes, head hair etc.), or with clothes or cords, to avoid injury as well as blockages or damage to
the device.
• Do not use the device on irritated skin, varicose veins, rashes, spots, (hairy) birthmarks or wounds
without consulting a doctor beforehand. The same applies to patients with weakened immune
systems, diabetes, haemophilia and immune insufficiency.
note
• Batteries do not have their full load capacity from the beginning. In order to achieve the full load
capacity of the batteries, they should be fully charged, completely discharged and then fully
charged once more prior to initial operation of the device. This recharge/discharge cycle should
be repeated as often as possible to extend the service life of the batteries.
• The epilator can be used on dry or wet hair.
• When used on dry skin, the skin must be completely dry and free from grease.
• When used on wet skin, it is important that the skin is sufficiently damp so that the device can glide
optimally over the skin. Epilating is easiest after a shower or bath.
• Do not use any cream before epilating.
• Epilation is easier and more comfortable if the hairs are at the optimal length of 2-5 mm.
If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you first shave the area and after 1-2 weeks epilate the
shorter regrowth.
• Thoroughly clean the epilator attachment before epilating. This reduces the risk of infection as much as
possible.
• Press the on/off button to switch on the device.
• Press the button again to increase the speed.
• The "Epilight" function ensures optimal lighting conditions so that you can see and remove even the fi-
nest hairs.
• Hold the skin taught with your free hand to help lift the hairs.
• Move the device slowly, steadily and without pressure over the skin, with the "Epilight" side pointed
against the direction of hair growth. Make sure you hold the device vertically at a 90° angle to the skin.
As hair doesn't always grow in one direction, it can be useful to move the device in various directions
over the skin to achieve an optimal result.
• Be aware that the underarm and bikini areas may be particularly sensitive to pain at first. We therefo-
re recommend that you use the lowest speed setting for the first use. The pain will lessen with repeated
use. As skin in this area is particularly sensitive after epilation, do not use any substances that might irri-
tate the skin such as alcohol-based deodorant.
