Solution

The socket to 

which the appliance 

is connected is not 

live.

Make sure the socket you use is 

live. If you use a socket in a 

bathroom cabinet, you may 

need to switch on the light to 

activate the socket.

The appliance is not 

switched on.

Switch on the appliance.

You did not attach 

the epilating 

head correctly.

Place the epilating head on the 

appliance and press it onto the 

appliance until it snaps home 

(‘click’).

Skin irritation 

occurs.

You used the 

epilator for the first 

time or after a long 

period of disuse.

Some skin irritation may occur 

the first few times you use the 

appliance. This is absolutely 

normal and usually disappears 

quickly. For tips to reduce skin 

irritation, see the first section of 

chapter ‘Using the appliance’. 

Also make sure you keep the 

epilating head clean.

You have applied 

too much pressure 

to the appliance

Do not use any pressure when 

moving the appliance over skin

It is not 

possible to 

remove the 

epilating head.

You did not move 

the epilating head 

in the right 

direction.

Press the release button and 

move the epilating head in the 

direction of the arrow (fig. 11) 

to remove it.
