Problem Cause Solution
Poor epilating
results
You move the
epilator in the wrong
direction.
Move the appliance against the direction of hair
growth, with the on/off button pointing in the
direction in which you move the epilator.
You place the
epilating head on the
skin at the wrong
angle.
Make sure that you place the epilating head on the
skin at an angle of 90° (see chapter ‘Using the
epilator’).
You have used a
cream or depilatory
cream prior to
epilation.
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before you start
epilating.
The hairs are too
short.
Sometimes the hairs are too short to be caught. The
optimal length for easy removal of the hairs is 3-4mm.
The hairs that are not caught during this session will
be long enough to be removed when you epilate the
next time. You can also try to catch the hairs by
moving the appliance across the skin a few more
times.
The epilator does
not work.
The socket to which
the appliance is
connected does not
work.
Make sure the socket is live. If you connect the
epilator to a socket in a bathroom cabinet, you may
need to switch on the light in the bathroom to make
sure the socket is live. You could also use a working
socket outside the bathroom.
