- 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.
- Always check the shaving head before you use the appliance. Do not
use the shaving head if the foil is damaged, as this may cause injury.
- Do not use the peeling glove immediately before or after epilation.
- The appliance contains two NiMH rechargeable batteries that may
harm the environment if not disposed of properly. See chapter
‘Environment’.
- Do not expose the appliance to temperatures lower than 5°C or
higher than 35°C.
