SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED

APPLIANCES

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems

of insulation are provided instead of grounding.

No grounding means is provided on a dou-

ble-insulated appliance, nor should a means for

grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing

a double-insulated appliance requires extreme

care and knowledge of the system, and should

be done only by qualiﬁed service personnel.

Replacement parts for a double-insulated appli-

ance must be identical to the parts they replace.

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired opera-

tion.

Caution: Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly ap-

proved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to

US-EN │ 11 ■

SWWS 240 B1

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-

cordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-

ference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined

by turning the equipment oﬀ and on, the user is encour-

aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

–Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

–Increase the separation between the equipment

and the receiver.

–Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

diﬀerent from that to which the receiver is con-

nected.

–Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

■ 12 │ US-EN SWWS 240 B1

Before ﬁrst use

1) Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth, both inside

and outside, to remove any residual dust left over

from transport. Dry it well, so that there is no mois-

ture left on the appliance.

2) Place the appliance on a level and heat-resistant

surface. Also keep in mind that wax may splash or

drip onto the surface. The surface should therefore

be easy to clean.

Automatic power oﬀ

After 60 minutes, the appliance will turn oﬀ automati-

cally. After 55 minutes, the control lamp  will start

ﬂashing to notify you that the appliance is about to turn

oﬀ automatically.

The automatic power oﬀ is not intended as a substitute

for disconnecting the plug from the electrical power

after use! It is merely a safety feature! Always remove

the plug from the electrical power socket when the

appliance is not in use!

US-EN │ 13 ■

SWWS 240 B1

Preparing the appliance

Once the appliance is set up on a suitable surface:

1) Remove the wax discs  from the packaging.

2) Add the required number of wax discs  to the inner

bowl . Use the following standard values as a

guide. The values may vary.

Body region Number of

wax discs 

Lower leg approx. 2 pcs.

per leg

Armpits 1 pc.

Bikini zone 1 pc.

Entire body

(lower leg, armpits,

bikini zone)

6 pcs.

3) Put the lid  on the appliance by aligning the plastic

tab with the groove  and then turning the lid 

slightly clockwise (see fold-out page):

4) Insert the plug  of the power cable into the socket

 on the appliance.

5) Insert the plug into a power socket. The control

lamp  in the base of the appliance turns on and

the appliance heats up.

■ 14 │ US-EN SWWS 240 B1

6) Stir the wax occasionally while it is melting.

As soon as the wax discs  have melted (this takes

about 40 minutes for 6 discs), you can start the hair

removal process.

If you realize that you need more wax than you have

melted, you can add additional wax discs  to the

inner bowl . Wait until the wax has melted before

you start the hair removal process.

Hair removal

The areas of the skin that are intended for hair removal

should be dry, clean, and free of skincare products, oils,

or fats.

Before ﬁrst use, perform a skin test to ﬁnd out whether

your skin reacts to the treatment. Add a little melted

wax to an unobtrusive area of skin and, after you pull

it oﬀ, check to see whether the skin has reacted in any

way. If you notice any skin reactions, stop using this

appliance. If in doubt, seek medical advice.

US-EN │ 15 ■

SWWS 240 B1

If you have a tendency for ingrown hairs, peel those

areas frequently, as this can prevent the hairs from

growing inwards.

Always pull oﬀ the wax strips as close as possible to the

skin surface.

Make sure that you don’t get any wax on your clothes.

Wax residue can be very diﬃcult to remove and may

discolor clothing.

Legs

Once the wax discs  are completely melted:

1) Open the lid  by turning it slightly counter-clockwise

and lifting it upwards.

2) Pick up a little wax with the spatula . You can

wipe oﬀ excess wax on the rim of the appliance.

3) Apply the wax to the skin in the direction of hair

growth (from the knee towards the heel). The wax

strips should have the approximate thickness of an or-

ange peel and cover the area of two spatulas  laid

side by side. You may have to add wax. Try to make

sure that one end of the applied wax strip (the end

nearer to your heel) is a little thicker as you will need to

be able to grip this end for removal.

4) After application, you can place the spatula  into

the tray  on the edge of the appliance so that the

spatula  projects over the inner bowl .

■ 16 │ US-EN SWWS 240 B1

5) Wait about 30 - 60 seconds until the wax is dry.

6) Pull the skin ﬁrmly with one hand. Grip the wax strip

by the thicker end and pull it oﬀ with a rapid move-

ment against the direction of hair growth (from your

ankle towards your knee).

Repeat the process for the remaining areas of skin.

7) When you are ﬁnished with the treatment, unplug the

appliance to turn it oﬀ. The control lamp  turns oﬀ.

Armpits

Once the wax disc  is completely melted:

1) Open the lid  by turning it slightly counter-clock-

wise and lifting it upwards.

Since armpit hairs tend to grow in diﬀerent directions,

they need to be removed in at least two steps.

2) Raise your elbow up and hold it behind your head.

This tightens the skin in the armpit.

3) Pick up a little wax with the spatula . You can

wipe oﬀ excess wax on the rim of the appliance.

US-EN │ 17 ■

SWWS 240 B1

4) Apply it immediately from the middle of the armpit

upwards in the direction of the elbow. The wax strips

should be roughly the thickness of orange peel. Try

to make sure that one end of the applied wax strip

(the end nearer to your elbow) is a little thicker as

you will need to be able to grip this end for removal.

5) After application, you can place the spatula  into

the tray  on the edge of the appliance so that the

spatula  projects over the inner bowl .

6) Wait about 30–60 seconds until the wax is dry.

7) Grip the wax strip by the thicker end (the end nearer

to your elbow) and pull it oﬀ with a rapid, downward

movement against the direction of hair growth.

8) To depilate the lower part of the armpit, apply the

wax from the middle of the armpit towards the bot-

tom.

9) Wait about 30–60 seconds until the wax is dry.

10) Grip the wax strip at the lower end and pull it oﬀ

with a rapid, upward movement against the direc-

tion of hair growth.

11) When you are ﬁnished with the treatment, unplug

the appliance to turn it oﬀ. The control lamp 

turns oﬀ.
