Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems
you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable
to solve the problem with the information below, contact
the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Cause Solution
Poor epilating
results.
You move the
appliance in
the wrong
direction.
Move the appliance against
the direction of hair growth,
with the on/off slide
pointing in the direction
in which you move the
appliance.
You place
the epilating
head on the
skin at the
wrong angle.
Make sure that you place
the appliance on the
skin at an angle of 90°
(see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’).
You used a
(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 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 appliance
does not work.
The socket
to which the
appliance is
connected is
not live.
Make sure the socket is
live. If you have connected
the epilator to the socket
in a bathroom cabinet, you
may need to switch on the
bathroom light to activate
the socket.
I cannot
select speed
setting II.
The shaving
head is
attached. The
shaving head
can only be
used at speed
setting I.
Select speed setting I when
you use the shaving head.
I cannot
remove the
shaving
head/epilating
head from the
appliance.
You try to
pull it straight
off.
Push the epilating
head/shaving head in the
direction of the arrows
on the back of the
appliance before you pull
it off the appliance (see
chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
