when sliding the appliance over the skin).
Thorough cleaning of the epilation head
before each use will minimise the risk of
infection.
If you have any doubts about using this
appliance, please consult your physician. In
the following cases, this appliance should
only be used after prior consultation with a
physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reactions
such as folliculitis (purulent hair follicles)
and varicose veins,
– around moles,
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes
mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud's
disease, haemophilia, candida or immune
deficiency.
Some useful 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.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2-5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recommend
that you either shave first and epilate the
shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear
overnight. To relax the skin we recommend
applying a moisture cream after epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows 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-
growing hair as the gentle scrubbing action
removes the upper skin layer and fine hair
can get through to the skin surface.

Preparing your skin
Your skin must be dry and free from grease
or cream.
Optional skin cooling: For the first few
epilations or if you have sensitive skin, you
can use the cooling application, recom-
mended by dermatologists to help reduce
possible skin irritation.
• Ensure that the gel pack has been in the
deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours (for
convenience you can store the gel packs in
the freezer).
• Insert the gel pack underneath the glove's
transparent foil. Use only with glove.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove on
your leg.
• Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute, longer
if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immediately.
• Repeat cooling and epilating until
completion.
• While epilating, please ensure your skin is
dry.
