Braun CC20 Manual De Usuario

Hair removal  with the Lady Braun 

Epilette 2 is easy, long-lasting and 

hygienically clean. The special split 

level tank gives ypu a constant flow 

of clean wax. There’s no stopping of 

clean wax. There’s no stopping and 

waiting in between, and that makes 

hot-wax depilation faster and more 

convenient than ever before. The 

wax temperature is continuously 

variable and the thermostat keeps it 

constant at just the right level for 

your skin’s semsotovoty whether you 

choose to use normal or low 

temperature waxes.

This appliance was constructed for 

heating wax only. Never use it for 

any other substance. Do not connect 

the appliance to unearthed sockets. 

Never turn the appliance on without 

wax in the tank. Place the appliance 

on dry surfaces only.

Never immerse the appliance in 

water.

Keep the appliance out of the reach 

of children.

Do not leave the appliance plugged 

in, if you are not using it.

Do not remove the filter when the 

appliance is cold. Should the 

appliance malfunction, disconnect it 

and take it to a Braun service center.

We do not recommend using the 

appliance with less than 200 g of 

wax.

Voltage/wattage: see type plate at 

the bottom of the appliance

Max. capacity: 850 g

Max. quantity of wax to be used: 700 

g

Use tank (lower level): 

thermostatically controlled 

temperature

Filter tank (top level):  

fixed temperature

a) Main tank

b) Filter tank (removable for cleaning)

c) Cover

d) Storage drawer for applicators

e) Cleaning edge for applicators

f)  200 g of low temperature 

cosmetic wax

g) Temperature control

h) Large applicator (e.g. for legs)

  Small applicator (e.g. for small 

areas/facial application)

Check first whether the voltage 

printed on the bottom of the 

appliance corresponds with your 

local voltage. Put the wax (f) into the 

filter tank (b). Connect the plug to the 

socket. That automatically turns the 

appliance on.

Your wax  heater can be used with 

either normal temperature or low 

temperature waxes. The red scale 

helps you choose a comfortable 

temperature if you are using normal 

wax. For low temperature waxes use 

the green scale.

Set the temperature control (g) at the 

midway position for approximately 5 

minutes. Then set the temperature 

control to «minimum». As soon as 

the wax begins to melt, stir it 

occasionally.

The wax will be ready to use after 

about 10 minutes.

Test the temperature by dipping the 

applicator into the wax. The 

temperature is right, if the wax does 

not drip from the applicator. (If it 

does, the wax is too hot, which may 

cause skin irritation.) If the wax is too 

hot, set the temperature control 

down (towards «minimum»). If the 

consistency is too thick, set the 

temperature control a little higher 

(towards «maximum»).

Before applying the wax, check 

whether the temperature is adequate 

for your skin’s sensitivity by dotting a 

little wax on the back of your hand.

Once set, the thermostat will keep 

the temperature constant. The tem- 

perature in the filter tank is controlled 

independently to ensure quick 

melting/filtering of the wax.

Set the temperature control (g) to 

«maximum» for about 15 minutes. 

Then turn the temperature control 

down to «minimum». Proceed as 

described under «When using with 

200 g of wax».

For good results, your hair should be 

at least 3 mm long. You should not 

use the Lady Braun Epilette 2 after 

sunbathing. Wait at least 24 hours. 

Before you start, your skin should be 

dry and free of creams, etc. Use a 

little talcum, if necessary.

Stroke your leg against the direction 

of hair growth with your hand to raise 

the hair.

Using the large applicator, apply a 

layer of wax about 15 cm long and 5 

cm wide starting at the top and 

working downward (1). Lift up the 

bottom part of the strip slightly as 

soon as you have put the wax on 

your skin. That will give you a firmer 

hold when pulling it off.

Do not let the wax get too hard. 

Otherwise, it will dry and crumble 

when you try to remove it.

Pull the strip off as soon as your 

fingertip no longer sticks to the wax 

when touching it.

Pull the strip of wax  in one stroke 

from the bottom towards the top, i.e. 

against the direction of hair growth 

Repeat the pocedure, until your legs 

are completely smooth and free of 

hair.

Should there be spots of wax that 

did not come off when removing the 

strip of wax the first time, apply a 

little more hot wax over the spot and 

pull off again after cooling. Or put a 

little alcohol on a cotton pad and 

moisten the spot of wax with it. After 

removing hair with the Lady Braun 

Epilette 2, apply a facial tonic and, 

finally, a good moisturizing cream or 

lotion.

Stroke an even layer of wax using 

the small applicator to your upper 

lip. Work it from top to bottom and 

towards the sides. Allow the wax to 

cool off briefly and pull off in one 

stroke towards the inside.

Apply a litle facial tonic and then a 

good moisturizing cream.

Put the used strips of wax in the filter 

tank 2. The wax will melt quickly and 

flow through the filter mesh into the 

use tank to mix with the wax there.

Important: Always stir the wax briefly 

before using it.

Once you have finished, keep the 

appliance plugged in until all the wax 

in the filter tank has melted 

completely. Then clean the 

applicators on the metal edge (e). 

Take the filter tank out of the 

appliance 3 and, using the small 

applicator, empty the hair caught in 

the filter tank onto a thick piece of 

paper. Hold the filter tank by the 

plastic rims only 3, as the metal 

parts get hot.

Replace the filter tank and unplug 

the appliance. Wait a few minutes for 

the appliance to cool off before 

putting the cover (c) back on.

The storage drawer (d) offers con- 

venient storage for the applicators.

Keep the filtered wax in the wax 

heater. It can be used several times.  

However, a certain amount of wax  

will be used up during every appli- 

cation. Add a little new wax the next 

time you use the Lady Braun  

Epilette 2.

After several applications, cosmetic 

wax loses its pliancy. Replace it 

entirely when it starts to crumble: 

Heat the wax until it becomes soft 

and remove it from the wax heater 

with the applicator.
