[. . . ] Do not insert metal-containing material into the socket for the appliance plug to avoid short circuiting. Caution - This appliance is only intended for removing women's body hair on areas below the neck: underarms, bikini line and legs. - To prevent damage and injuries, keep operating appliance (with or without attachment) away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc. - Do not use the appliance and exfoliation brush on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs) or wounds without consulting your doctor first. [. . . ] If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. Epilating Note: If you are new to epilation, start epilating with the double wavy massage attachment to minimise the pulling sensation of epilation. Note:To epilate the underarms or bikini line, use the sensitive area cap that reduces the number of active epilating discs. , The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is the most efficient speed for epilating. Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time. Speed I is suitable for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles. 3 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright. Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/ off button pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. 4 Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of hair growth while pressing it lightly. Tip:To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately or a few hours after epilation. Tip: After epilation, use a gentle deodorant without alcohol or a special deodorising cream for epilated underarms. Using the exfoliation brush You can use the exfoliation brush dry or wet to remove dead skin cells gently and thoroughly. Make gentle circular movements with the exfoliation brush for a soft exfoliating effect. This helps to prevent ingrown hairs and gives you smooth, soft and fresh-looking skin. Brush your skin with the exfoliation brush one day before and two days after epilating. Scrub your legs with gentle, circular movements, starting at the ankles. Note:When you use the exfoliation brush on dry skin, do not use exfoliating creams, gels or foams. Tip:To prevent dry skin in general, moisturise your skin daily with your preferred moisturising cream.
