6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your epilator, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Device not turning on: Check if the AA battery is inserted correctly with the correct polarity. Replace the battery if it is depleted.
• Ineffective hair removal: Ensure hair length is between 0.5mm and 5mm. Move the epilator slowly against the direction of hair growth. Ensure the epilator head is clean and free of hair buildup.
• Skin irritation or redness: This can be normal for epilation, especially during initial uses. Use the epilator at night to allow redness to subside. Ensure skin is clean and dry before use. Avoid going over the same area too many times. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
• Discomfort during use: Epilation involves pulling hair from the root, which can cause some discomfort. Holding the skin taut can help. Regular use may lead to reduced discomfort over time.
