Instructions

Epilation head
The fast cap and gentle cap for legs/arms should be used only for legs/arms. The sensitive area cap and small epilation head for underarms/bikini-line should be used only for underarms/bikini-line.

Areas suitable for epilating (Fig. 8)

• A. Use the fast cap and gentle cap for legs/arms.
• B. Use the sensitive area cap or small epilation head for underarm/bikini-line. Before bikini-line hair removal, put on your swimwear or underwear and check the areas you wish to epilate.

Using the epilator on non-recommended areas may cause pain or skin trouble. Areas not suitable for epilation (Fig. 9) Do not use the epilator on the inner side of the upper arms or areas which are prone to sagging such as elbows or knees.

< DRY epilation>

• DRY epilation is recommended. Before DRY epilation, wipe away moisture and sweat from the skin. Next, press the power switch.

< WET epilation>

• For WET epilation, always use only shower gel. Put the shower gel on the wet discs and turn on the switch to make lather. (Fig. 10)

• Use on sufficiently wet skin. If you notice that some hair is not removed during epilation, try switching to DRY epilation.

• The pressure sensor works and the LED light may blink depending on the amount and type of shower gel used. Adjust the amount of shower gel or add water to the discs to dilute the foam.

• Foam forms, making the epilator slippery so you can move it quickly.

• The appliance may not operate at an ambient temperature lower than approximately 5 °C.

• Apply the epilator at a 90° angle and slide it slowly over your skin.

< Epilating legs or arms>
Attach the fast cap or gentle cap for legs/arms. (Fig. 11) Slowly move against the flow of hair. (Fig. 12)

< Epilating underarms or bikini‑line>
ES-EY90/EY80/EY70/EY31: Attach the small epilation head. ES-EY30: Attach the sensitive area cap to the epilation head. (Fig. 13)

Lightly apply the epilator at a 90° angle and ensure close contact with your skin. Do not move the appliance back and forth while applied to the skin. Lift it away from the skin and change the direction, before moving it. Stretch the skin with your fingers to prevent sagging, and slowly move the appliance against the grain of the hair.

Usage frequency

• Hair removal is not permanent, so it is recommended to epilate the underarms about once a week, and the bikini-line about once every two weeks.

< For beginners/those with sensitive skin>

• We also recommend to use SOFT mode. ( Page 15)

• Using the gentle cap for legs/arms with the skin guard is best for first time use or for those with sensitive skin.

• The gentle cap for legs/arms has a skin protector for gentle hair removal by holding the skin down to reduce pain.

< Tips for best results>

• Massaging with a body puff may help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Reddening may occur after use. A cool towel is helpful in case of pain or a rash.
• If your skin is dry, apply moisturizer two days after use.
• Make sure skin is clean before and after use.

< Best hair length for epilation>

• Trim your hair before first time use or if you have not removed hair for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.

Shaver head ES-EY90

Precautions when filing
Filing too large an area can result in larger calluses forming, so be sure to leave some of the hardened layer.

• a Hardened layer
• b Epidermis
• c Derma
• d Portion to be removed
• e Leave some of the hardened layer
• Filing a single location for a long time can cause heat due to friction. To avoid this, be sure to make small changes in the filing position while filing.
