5.3 Adjusting Power Levels:

The device offers 5 power levels. Press the Power button briefly to cycle through the levels. Start with Level 1 for your first treatment and gradually increase as your skin tolerates it. Higher levels provide more intense treatment.

• Auto Mode: Hold the flash button, and the device will automatically emit continuous flashes when in contact with the skin. Suitable for larger areas such as legs, arms, and back.

5.5 Using the Ice Cooling Function:

The ice cooling function can be activated simultaneously with the IPL treatment. This feature helps to cool the skin surface, minimizing discomfort and protecting the skin from heat. Activate this function via a dedicated button or by a specific setting on the device (refer to the device's display for indication).

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your device.

1. Cleaning: After each use, ensure the device is powered off and unplugged. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the treatment window and the device body. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
2. Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MLAY IPL Hair Removal Device, refer to the following common solutions:

• Device Not Turning On:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another appliance.
• No Flash Emitted:
  • Ensure the treatment window is in full contact with the skin. The device has a skin contact sensor that prevents flashing if not properly applied.
  • Check the remaining flash count on the display. If it's near zero, the lamp may need replacement or the device has reached its end of life.
  • Verify that the device is not in standby mode. Press the power button briefly to wake it up.
• Skin Discomfort/Redness:
  • Reduce the power level.
  • Ensure the ice cooling function is activated.
  • Avoid treating the same area too frequently or overlapping flashes.
  • If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
