The hair removal is not permanent, so from the 2nd use we recommend that you epilate the arms and legs about once every two weeks.
For best performance, fully charge the appliance before use.
You cannot operate the appliance while charging.
Charging time = Approx. 24 hours
The epilator can be used for approximately 25 minutes after 24 hours of charging. (This will differ depending on the temperature.)
Plug the AC adaptor into the epilator ( ) and a household outlet ( ).
While charging
Red light appears.
After charging is completed
Red light glows and stays on until the adaptor is disconnected from a household outlet.
ES-EU20
Place the bikini comb onto the shaver head and slide trimmer up.
Best hair length for epilation
Trim your hair before epilating for the first time or if you have not epilated for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.
The epilator can be used on the areas.
Using the epilator on other areas may cause pain or skin trouble.
The epilator should not be used on the inner side of the upper arms and areas such as elbows or knees which are prone to sagging.
Before epilating, wipe off water or sweat on your skin.
Slide the power switch [ ] to the 1 position and carry out epilation.
WET epilation (epilating after wetting the skin and epilator and then applying foam) makes the skin softer so it is gentler to your skin when epilating.
Upwards from the bottom of the leg. Inwards from the outside of the arm.
ES-EU20
Before shaving, wipe off water or sweat on your skin.
Shaving with soap lather makes the skin slippery for a closer shave.
We recommend replacing the outer foil [ ] every year and the inner blade every two years. Remove the outer foil of the shaver head [ ] only when replacing it.
