1. Ensure the epilator is switched off.
2. Connect the special cord set to the epilator and plug it into an electrical outlet.
3. A charging indicator light will illuminate. Charge the device for approximately 1 hour for a full charge, providing up to 50 minutes of cordless use.
4. The epilator cannot be operated while plugged into the power outlet. This is a safety feature for wet use.

Attaching and Detaching Heads

The epilator comes with various attachments for different uses. To change an attachment:

1. Ensure the epilator is switched off.
2. Grip the sides of the current attachment and gently pull it upwards to remove it from the epilator body.
3. Align the desired attachment with the epilator body and press it down until it clicks into place.

4. Operating Instructions

For best results, ensure your skin is clean and dry, or use the epilator in the shower or bath with foam for a gentler experience.

1. Preparation: For optimal results, exfoliate your skin regularly to prevent ingrown hairs. Ensure hair length is between 0.5mm and 5mm. If hair is longer, use the trimmer cap or shaver head first.
2. Power On: Turn the epilator on by sliding the switch to position «I» (gentle) or «II» (efficient). The Smartlight will automatically turn on to illuminate fine hairs.
3. Epilation Technique: Hold the epilator at a 90-degree angle to your skin, with the Smartlight facing the area you are epilating. Stretch your skin taut with your free hand. Guide the epilator slowly against the direction of hair growth. Do not press too hard; the SensoSmart light will turn red if you apply too much pressure.
4. Wet Use: For a more comfortable experience, use the epilator in the shower or bath with your favorite shower gel or foam. The warm water helps to relax the skin and minimize discomfort.
5. Sensitive Areas: Use the sensitive area cap or shaver head for delicate regions like the underarms or bikini line.
6. Post-Epilation: After epilation, apply a soothing lotion or moisturizer to your skin.

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your epilator.

1. After Each Use: Switch off the epilator and remove the attachment.

3. Cleaning Other Attachments: Rinse shaver heads and trimmer caps under running water. Allow them to air dry completely.
4. Appliance Body: Wipe the main body of the epilator with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main body in water unless it is specifically designed for wet cleaning (this model is Wet & Dry, but avoid submerging the charging port area).
