GENERAL INFORMATION ON EPILATION
The Remington® Smooth & Silky® Epilator has been designed to make
the removal of unwanted hairs as efficient, gentle and easy as possible.
The curved epilation head is especially designed to fit the contours of your
body.
The rotating tweezers remove hair as short as 0.5mm. The hair is pulled
out by the root.
If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a
long period of time, it may take a short time for you skin to adapt to this
type of hair removal system. The discomfort that you feel at first is
considerably reduced overtime, as your skin adjusts to the process.
Using an epilator may cause reddening or irritation of the skin. This is a
normal reaction and will disappear quickly. However you should contact
your doctor if the irritation has not disappeared within 3 days.
All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-grown hairs
depending on the condition or the skin and the hair. Regular exfoliation
helps to prevent in-grown hairs.
In some cases inflammation of the skin can occur when bacteria penetrate
the skin (when gliding the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleansing of
the epilation head after each use will minimise the risk of infection.
Some useful tips
• When using an epilator for the first time, it is best to try it on a small
area first. This will help the skin adjust to the process of epilation.
• The optimum length of the hair for epilation is 2 – 5mm. If hairs
are longer we recommend that you shave or trim the hair first with
a Remington® shaver or a Remington® bikini trimmer and epilate
the shorter re-grown hairs after 1-2 weeks
• Take a warm bath or shower before epilating and exfoliate to
remove the dead skin cells. This will ensure that your skin is pliable,
making the epilation process less uncomfortable.
• It is advisable to epilate in the evening, so that any possible redness
can disappear overnight.
• After using your epilator you can use a body cream or aloe lotion to
soothe the skin and reduce irritation.
• Regularly exfoliate after epilation to avoid in-grown hairs.

KEY PARTS
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

HOW TO USE YOUR SMOOTH & SILKY
®
EPILATOR
Before epilating, make sure your skin is clean, dry and free from creams or oils.
Ensure that the On/Off switch is in the Off position (0). Attach the power adaptor
to the product and plug into any household (100/240V AC) power outlet.
Remove the protective cap and turn the epilator on to
the desired speed. Low speed is recommended for fine
hair and High speed is recommended for course hair or
stronger hair growth.
Using your free hand, hold the skin taut so that the
hairs stand upright. Position the epilator so that the
stainless steel tweezers are at a 90º angle and flat
against the skin. The Remington® epilator head is
curved to ensure maximum contact to the skin to
maximise the hair removal process. (Diagram A)
Glide the epilator in a slow continuous movement
against the hair growth. Do not apply pressure as
the epilator will slow down or even stop.
Repeat until all unwanted hair is removed.
After epilating, turn the epilator Off and replace the
protective cap.
Arm/leg Epilation
Epilate from the lower arm or leg and slowly move
upwards. To epilate behind the elbow or knee keep
the arm or the leg straight to stretch the skin.
(Diagram B)
Underarm and Bikini Line Epilation
Please be aware that these areas are particularly
sensitive to epilation. However this sensitivity will
reduce after repeated usage. For more comfort,
ensure that the skin is held taut and the hair is at the optimum length of
2-5mm.
When epilating the underarm keep your arm raised so that the skin is
stretched. Directly after epilation avoid using irritating substances, such as
deodorants with alcohol. (Diagram C)
When epilating the bikini line hold the skin around the bikini line area taut,
and glide the epilator in a circular motion. (Diagram D)
