contours of these areas, it provides a
gentle and thorough epilation.
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning, these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recom-
mend that you select speed setting «I» for
the first few epilation processes. With
repeated usage the pain sensation will
diminish. For more comfort, ensure that the
hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). When epilating the underarm,
keep your arm raised up so that the skin
is stretched and guide the appliance in
different directions. As skin may be more
sensitive directly after epilation, avoid
using irritating substances such as deo-
dorants with alcohol.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely
event of the appliance overheating, it may
happen that the red low charge light shines
permanently for 8 seconds and then the
appliance turns off automatically. In this case,
turn the switch back to the position «0» and
let the appliance cool down.
5 Cleaning the epilation head
Regular cleaning ensures better performance.
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out.
Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the
rear side of the epilator head with the
brush dipped into alcohol. While doing so,
turn the tweezer element manually. This
cleaning method ensures best hygienic
conditions for the epilation head.
b Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance
under running water.
Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with
the epilation head under hot running water.
Then press the release button (6) to remove
the epilation head.
Thoroughly shake both, the epilation
head and the appliance to make sure that
remaining water can drip out. Leave both
parts to dry. Before reattaching, make sure
that they are completely dry.

Shaving
• Put on the shaver head attachment (9) by
clicking it in.
• Pressing one of the lock keys, turn the
switch clockwise to setting «II».
• Make sure the trim/shave selector (e) is in
the « » position.
• Use the shaver head attachment on dry
skin only.
• For best results, always make sure that
both, the shaver foil (b) and the trimmer (c)
are in contact with the skin (A). Keeping
your skin stretched (B), slowly move the
appliance against the direction of hair
growth. The trimmer first raises all long
hairs and cuts them off. Then the flexible
foil follows to smooth away any stubble.
• When shaving or trimming in sensitive
areas, make sure that you always keep
your skin stretched to avoid injuries.
