 Tips for best epilation \cresults
The hair removal is not permanent, so from th\le 2n\f use we 
recommen\f that you epilate the arms an\f legs about once 
every two weeks.
•	Apply the epilator \lat a 90˚ angle to y\lour 
skin. Always make sure that the 
appliance is in con\ltact with your skin an\f 
press gently while \lmoving it slowly 
against the hair g\lrowth.
90
•	Massaging with a bo\l\fy puff may help to prevent ingrown hairs.
•	 Re\f\fening might app\lear after use. A cool towel will help if you 
feel pain or there i\ls a rash.
•	 If your skin gets \fry after epilation, \lwe recommen\f applyin\lg a 
moisture lotion two \fays after epilation.\l
•	 Make sure skin is clea\ln before an\f after use.
Charging
For best performance, fully charge the \lappliance before use.
You cannot operate the appliance w\lhile charging.
Charging ti\fe = Approx. 24 hours
The epilator can be\l use\f for approximately 25 minutes after  24 hours of charging.\l (This will \fiffer \fepen\fing on the\l  temperature.)
Plug the AC adaptor 
into the epilator \c(a) 
and a household 
outlet (b).
•	Recommen\fe\f ambient\l 
temperature for 
charging is 0 - 35\l °C 
(32 - 95 °F). The battery 
may not charge prope\lrly 
or not at all un\fer \l
extreme low or high 
temperatures. 
While charging
After charging is \lcomplete\f
Re\f light appears. Re\f light glows an\f stays on 
until the a\faptor i\ls 
\fisconnecte\f from a\l  househol\f outlet.
•	 The charging time \lmay \fecrease \fepen\fing\l on the charging 
capacity.
•	 To keep charging the b\lattery will not affect battery performance.
•	 When charging the \lepilator for the first time o\lr when it has not \l
been in use for more than 6 mon\lths, the charging ligh\lt may not 
turn on for a few minutes, or the operating time may shorten. 
Please charge it for more than 36 ho\lurs in such cases.
