-Children should be super vised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Caution -This appliance is only intended for removing women’s body hair from the legs. Do not use it for any other purpose. -To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running appliance (with or without attachment) away from scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, clothes, threads, cords, brushes etc. -Do not use the appliance on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles (with hairs) or wounds without consulting your doctor first. People with a reduced immune response or people who suffer from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or immunodeficiency should also consult their doctor first. -Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and quickly disappears. As you use the appliance more often, your skin gets used to epilation, skin irritation decreases and regrowth becomes thinner and softer. If the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor. -Do not use the epilating head or efficiency cap (HP6402, HP6401 only) if it is damaged or broken, as this may cause injur y. -When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to tr y it out on an area with only light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process. -Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dr y when you star t epilating. -Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dr y and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you star t epilating. -Epilation is easier and more comfor table when the hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shor ter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. -When you epilate for the first time, we advise you to epilate in the evening, so that any reddening that develops can disappear overnight. -While epilating stretch your skin with your free hand. This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimise the pulling sensation. -For optimal performance, place the appliance on the skin at right angles (90°) with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. Guide the appliance across the skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow, continuous movement without exer ting any pressure. -On some areas, hair may grow in different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results. -To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream after epilation. -Fine hair that regrows might not grow up to the skin surface.The regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream (e.g. during showering) helps to prevent ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.
