Solution
Move the appliance
against the direction of
hair growth, with the
on/off slide pointing in
the direction in which
you move the appliance.
Make sure that you
place the appliance on
the skin at an angle of
90° (see chapter 'Using
the appliance').
Make sure your skin
is clean, entirely dry
and free from grease.
Do not use any cream
before you start
epilating.
Sometimes 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.
