fully charged, use the appliance without 
cord.

•  When the charging light flashes red, 

reconnect the appliance to an electrical 
outlet via the special cord set to recharge.

•  A full charge provides up to 40 minutes 

of cordless operation time.

•  Wet usage might reduce the operation 

time. We recommend that you recharge 
the appliance after each use.

•  The best temperature range for charging, 

using and storing the appliance is 
between 15 °C and 35 °C. In case the 
temperature is far beyond this range, 
the charging time might be longer 
whereas the cordless operation time 
might be reduced.

Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely 
event of the appliance overheating, it may 
happen that the charging light shines red 
for 8 seconds and then the appliance 
turns off automatically. In this case, turn 
the switch back to the position «0» (off) 
and let the appliance cool down.

How to operate the appliance
Switch on the appliance by pressing a 
lock key (4a) and turning the switch (4) 
clockwise to position «I» or «II». 
The Smartlight (3) shines as long as the 
appliance is switched on. This provides 
better visibility of fine hairs or skin. 
To remove the epilation head, press the 
release button (6). To change caps (1a), 
(1b) or (8), press their lateral ribs and pull 
off.

Epilation tips
If you have not used an epilator before, or 
if you have not epilated for a longer period 
of time, it may take a short time for your 
skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort 
experienced in the beginning will decrease 
considerably with repeated use as the 
skin adapts to the process. 

When epilating for the first time, it is advis-
able to epilate in the evening, so that any 
possible reddening can disappear over-
night. To relax the skin we recommend 
applying a moisture cream after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable 
when the hair is at the optimum length of 
2–5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recom-
mend that you shave first and epilate the 
shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 
weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the 
hairs to 5 mm length. 

Fine, regrowing hairs might not grow up 
to the skin surface. The regular use of 
massage sponges (e.g. after showering) 
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent 
in-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing 
action removes the upper skin layer and 
fine hair can get through to the skin sur-
face.

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free 
from grease or cream.

Wet usage: The appliance can be used on 
wet skin, even under running water. Make 
sure that the skin is very moist in order to 
achieve optimum gliding conditions for 
the appliance. After each wet usage, clean 
the appliance under running water.

How to epilate 
Before use, always make sure that the 
epilation head (2) is clean and provided 
with a cap (1a or 1b).

1  Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation 

and speed «II» for an efficient epilation. 

2  Always stretch your skin when epilating. 

Make sure that the epilation area is in 
contact with your skin.

Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous 
movement without pressure against the 
hair growth, in the direction of the switch. 
As hair can grow in different directions, it 
may also be helpful to guide the appliance 
in different directions to achieve optimum 
results. The massage cap (1a) ensures 
best skin comfort during epilation. If you
