Satin ICE HP6479, HP6475, HP6473 2 3 4 ENGLISH 6 FRANÇAIS 18 ÀÒÉÒä·Â 30 39 50 60 82 v<ñUã 93 HP6479, HP675, HP673 6 ENGLISH Introduction With your new Satin ICE you can remove unwanted hairs quickly, easily and effectively.The combination of the proven epilating disc system with the newly developed contour-following skin cooler constitutes a revolution in epilation.Thanks to the natural numbing effect of ice on the skin, the new Satin ICE makes epilation more comfortable and less painful than ever.The result is a silky-smooth skin and a hair growth reduction of up to 50%, assuming you use the appliance regularly (every 4 weeks). The Satin ICE is particularly suitable for the legs.Type HP6479 also comes with a skin cooler that has been specially developed for epilating sensitive areas (underarms, bikini line).These areas are particularly sensitive to pain, which this special skin cooler helps to diminish. The rapidly rotating epilating discs catch even the shortest hairs (up to half a millimetre!) and pull them out by the roots.As a result, your skin stays smooth for up to four weeks and regrowth is soft and downy.

Do not use the appliance if the adapter or the appliance itself is damaged. If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced by one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard. The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as this will cause a hazardous situation. Keep the appliance and the adapter dry. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. Do not expose the appliance to temperatures lower than 5cC or higher than 35cC. To prevent damage and injuries, keep the running appliance away from your 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, e.g. during pregnancy, or people suffering from diabetes mellitus, Raynaud's disease or immunodeficiency should contact their doctor first. Preparing for use Freezing the skin cooler 1 Remove the protective sleeve from the skin cooler (fig. 1). 2 Put the skin cooler WITHOUT the protective sleeve in the freezer cassette and put it in the freezer or freezing compartment (***) at least 6 hours before you start epilating (fig. 2). 8 ENGLISH Make sure the outside of the skin cooler is completely dry before you freeze it. Tip:You can store the skin cooler in the freezer permanently. Using the appliance General information about epilation Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating. When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.After epilation you can apply a mild cream or body milk to soothe your skin and reduce skin irritation. Before epilating longer hairs on sensitive skin areas, shorten them with a trimmer or a pair of scissors. We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as this will allow any skin irritation that may develop to diminish overnight. Your skin may become a little red and irritated the first few times you use the epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely normal and will quickly disappear.As you use the appliance more often, your skin will get used to epilation, skin irritation will decrease and regrowth will become thinner and softer. If the irritation has not disappeared within three days, we advise you to consult a doctor. Epilation can lead to ingrown hairs or minor skin injuries, which may cause inflammations due to penetration of bacteria into the skin. It is therefore important to clean the epilating head very carefully after each use. Epilating the legs Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before you start epilating. 1 Slide the protective sleeve onto the skin cooler (fig. 3). The protective sleeve prevents an unpleasant sensation of coldness in your hand while using the appliance. ENGLISH 9 Occasionally the pivoting head may freeze onto the skin cooler and doesn't move when you take the skin cooler from the freezer.The pivoting head will start pivoting again after you have passed it over your leg a few times. 2 Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (fig. 4). 3 Insert the appliance plug into the inlet socket and put the adapter in the wall socket. 4 Switch the appliance on by selecting the desired speed (fig. 5). Select speed I for areas with little hair growth and for areas where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles. Select speed II for larger areas with stronger hair growth. 5 Stretch your skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright. 6 Place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin and move it against the direction of hair growth (fig. 6). Make sure both the epilating discs and the skin cooler are in proper contact with the skin. Do not press the appliance onto the skin. Epilating underarms and bikini line (HP6479 only) The special skin cooler for the underarms and bikini line reduces the number of active epilating discs. Combined with the large cooling surface, this skin cooler makes epilating sensitive areas less painful.You will get the best results when the hairs are not too long (max. 1 cm). 1 Slide the protective sleeve onto the skin cooler (fig. 7). 2 Snap the appliance onto the skin cooler (fig. 8). 3 Switch the appliance on by selecting the desired speed (fig. 9). We advise you to use speed II. 4 To epilate the underarm area, place one arm behind your head to stretch the skin and place the appliance perpendicularly onto the skin with the hand of the other arm (fig. 10). 10 ENGLISH 5 To epilate the bikini line, stretch the skin with your free hand and place the appliance perpendicularly onto your skin, without exerting any pressure (fig. 11). 6 Move the appliance slowly across the skin against the direction of hair growth. Shaving (HP6479 and HP6475 only) You can use the shaving head to shave delicate body parts, such as your underarms and bikini line.With the shaving head you will obtain a smooth result in a comfortable and gentle way. 1 Make sure the appliance is switched off. 2 Remove the skin cooler. 3 Remove the epilating head (fig. 12).
