this will cause a hazardous condition.

IMPORTANT

Please read these instructions completely before
using this appliance.The following information and
precautions are important:

◗

CAUTION: Methods of removing hair by the
root can cause ingrown hairs and minor skin
injuries. Please consult your doctor if you have
any questions about the use of the appliance.

◗

Do not use the Satinelle Epilator if you suffer
from varicose veins, spots or blemishes, or
when the skin is irritated. Consult your doctor
first.

◗

Use of the Satinelle Epilator may cause
reddening or irritation of the skin.This is a
normal reaction which should quickly

more than three days, consult your doctor.

◗

Any minor injury resulting from hair

the injury site potentially causing small
scars or a change in pigmentation of the

How To Use Your Satinelle Epilator

◗

Use this epilator for its intended household
use as described in this manual.

◗

Make sure your skin is clean, free from grease
and creams. Do not apply any cream before
using. Hairs are easier to remove after a bath
or a shower, but your skin should be completely
dry before using your Satinelle Epilator.

◗

Regular massages with the loofah pad before
epilating may help to prevent ingrown hairs.

◗

If you are using the appliance for the first time,
it is recommended that you begin at an area
with little hair growth to become accustomed
to using your Satinelle Epilator.

◗

As the hairs are being removed by the root,
your skin may feel a little discomfort after
using the Satinelle Epilator for the first time.
This effect will gradually lessen with each use.

◗

Regrowth of hairs tends to be softer both in
appearance and in touch.

◗

After each use, you may want to apply a non-
alcohol based mild cream or body lotion which
will help reduce the possibility of skin irritation.

Be certain appliance is in OFF “O” position.
Connect cord to appliance, making sure that
the plug is completely inserted into the
appliance (Fig. 1). Insert the plug into any
120V AC outlet.

Switch the Satinelle Epilator ON by selecting
the desired speed.

Speed Settings

◗

For the areas where the hairs are thinner,
hard-to-reach places and areas with bones
close to the skin’s surface (such as knees and
ankles), select speed I (normal speed) (Fig. 2).

◗

For larger surfaces and thicker hair areas,
select speed II (high speed) (Fig. 3).

◗

For areas with bones close to the skin’s surface
(knees, ankles), select the normal intensity.

Keep the skin taut using your fingers to
stretch the skin so the rotating discs can
grasp hairs (Fig. 4).

Hold the Satinelle Epilator perpendicular to
your leg with the ON/OFF Slide Switch
pointing in the direction you are going to
move the appliance (Fig. 5).

Gently press and move the Satinelle Epilator
slowly over the skin against the direction of
hair growth (Fig. 6). If you press too lightly
or too hard, the Satinelle Epilator will not be
able to grasp and remove the hairs.
Experiment until you find the right settings
and right amount of pressure for your type
of skin and hair.

To switch the System OFF, slide the ON/OFF
Switch to the “O” position (Fig. 7).

NOTE: If you choose to use a cream or
moisturizing lotion after use, be certain it
does not contain alcohol as it may cause
discomfort.

IMPORTANT:

◗

After using the Satinelle Epilator, some redness
or irritation may occur. This is normal and
should disappear quickly.

◗

It is recommended this appliance be
used dry on legs only.

◗

Clean the appliance regularly following
CLEANING instructions.

◗

This appliance should only be used after
prior consultation with your doctor if you have
or experience:

• Open wounds
• Eczema, psoriasis (scaly eczema),

inflamed skin reactions such as
folliculitis, skin rashes or the tendency
to allergy or allergic skin reactions

• Body acne
• Immune deficiency or disorders
• Couperose, rosacea, or varicose veins
• Pregnancy
• Reduced skin immunity as a result of

diabetes, pregnancy, Raynaudís disease, etc.

• Hemophilia
• If you have moles, raised skin bumps, etc.

◗

If you have been or begin taking hormone
medication, or have recently been pregnant, a
change in your hormone levels may influence
the thickness, color or amount of hair growth.
This is caused by the hormonal changes, not by
this method of hair removal.

◗

When removing hair from the area
behind knees, be sure to keep skin
stretched tightly to prevent pinching of
the skin by the rotating discs.

◗

With first time use you may feel some
discomfort, irritation or experience reddening
of the skin.This is because the hairs are
actually removed at the root.The discomfort
you feel will tend to lessen with successive
uses. You may wish to remove hair in the
evening so if any reddening occurs it will
diminish overnight.

◗

Regular massages with the loofah pad before
epilating may help to prevent ingrown hairs.

◗

Use only the cord provided.

◗

Clean appliance regularly following
CLEANING instructions.
