Introduction
.
◗ With your new Satinelle Massage you can remove
unwanted hairs quickly and effectively in an extra-
gentle way.
◗ The new active massaging system relaxes your skin
like a massage, thereby more effectively masking the
sensation of epilation. As a result, you will hardly
feel any pain.
◗ The rapidly rotating epilating discs catch even the
shortest hairs (even as short as half a millimetre!)
and quickly remove them by the root. As a result,
your skin stays smooth for up to four weeks and
regrowth is soft and downy.

Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the
appliance and save them for future reference.
◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter
corresponds to the local mains voltage before you
connect the appliance.
◗ Only use the appliance in combination with the
adapter supplied.
◗ 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 to replace it with another plug, as this
will cause a hazardous situation.

batteries that may harm the environment if not
disposed of properly.
◗ Do not use the epilating head 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 who suffer from
diabetes mellitus, haemophilia or immunodeficiency
should also consult their doctor first.
Charging
.
The appliance can be run directly from the mains or it
can be used without the cord when the batteries have
been charged.
Charge the batteries at least 8 hours before using the
appliance to obtain up to 25 minutes of cordless epilating
time.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off (fig. 1).
2 Insert the appliance plug into the inlet socket of the
appliance and put the adapter in the wall socket
(fig. 2).
The charging light goes on and stays on so long as the
appliance is charging.
Epilating from the mains

The appliance can also be used from the mains.
◗ When the batteries are completely empty, connect
the appliance to the mains. Wait a few minutes
before switching the appliance on.

General information about epilation and body puff
◗ Epilating with the Satinelle Massage will leave your
skin smooth and hair-free for weeks. As epilation
may cause skin irritation or ingrown hairs in some
women, we advise you to read the text below.
◗ 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.
◗ Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower.
Make sure your skin is completely dry when you
start epilating.
◗ 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.
◗ After epilation you can apply a mild cream or body
milk to soothe your skin and reduce skin irritation.
◗ Use the exfoliating body puff in the shower. Regular
massages with the puff may help to prevent
ingrowing hairs. Do not use the puff immediately
before or after epilation.
◗ This appliance has been extensively tested on the
underarms and the bikini line. Some women will
develop skin irritation when they epilate these areas
for the first time. We therefore advise you to try
out the appliance on a small patch of skin first.
How to use the Satinelle Massage
◗ Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before you start
epilating.
1 Switch the appliance on by pushing the on/off slide
to the desired speed setting:
- Select speed 1 for areas with little hair growth and for
areas where bones are located directly beneath the
skin, such as knees and ankles.
- Select speed 2 for larger areas with stronger hair
growth.
2 Place the epilating head perpendicularly onto the
skin so that the epilating head and massage element
are in proper contact with the skin and stretch the
skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand
upright (fig. 3).
Move the appliance slowly, with the massage element
pointing forwards, against the direction of hair growth.
Do not exert any pressure.
Cleaning and maintenance
.
Regular cleaning guarantees the best results and a long life
for your appliance.
Do not use any corrosive detergents, scouring pads or
cloths, petrol, acetone etc. to clean the appliance.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and
unplugged.
