PRECAUTIONS OF USE / STEP 1 + STEP 2

1800136015_EP9600F0_INSTANT SOFT 170 x 180 29/05/15 10:54 Page4

For a better assessment, observe the areas which have not been exposed to the sun: underneath the

To schedule your ﬁrst session, refer to the "PRECAUTIO OF USE / STEP 1" colour table found on

the back cover.

Regardless of intensity level, you must take the tolerance test before performing the ﬁrst treatment.

deally, test three spots on the area to be depilated, which have been shaved beforehand. f the ﬁrst hair

removal is painful, even in the slightest, you must reduce the intensity.

24 hours after the test, inspect the state of the treated area. t should not be red in any way; the skin

should neither be sensitive nor swollen, and you should not feel any discomfort.

f the test is ﬁne, you can use the appliance with the same setting.

t is preferable to shave on the day before treatment. The skin must be clean and free of any cosmetics.

WARNING! DO NOT USE THIS A LIANCE:

- Before having read the warnings and safety instructions in the contraindication section of this

manual.

- f the skin is darker than MAT skin type shown in the table with the diﬀerent skin colours.

3 - FIRST USE

Thank you for buying this ROWENTA appliance. Your appliance uses PL ( ntense Pulsed Light) technology

used by professionals for semi-permanent hair removal adapted to a personal use.

erformance

f you follow our recommendations for use, your appliance will allow you to achieve lasting reduction in

body hair. You should undergo treatment at regular intervals, every two weeks for four to six sessions,

then once a month for two to four sessions (depending on regrowth).

You can then use the appliance for touch-ups as needed until the hair has been removed completely.

Lasting results are obtained over 12 to 18 months, depending on your type. You will be then able to

enjoy long-lasting smooth, soft skin on your legs.

Safety

Your appliance has been designed by scientists and clinicians and tested in accordance with the strictest

standards. Your appliance provides optimum safety thanks to:

1) A skin-colour detector: This safety method checks skin pigmentation at the

beginning of, and during, each session. f the sensor detects that the skin is too

dark, the appliance will stop emitting light impulses.

2) A dermatological safeguard: this appliance has been tested under

dermatological supervision by an independent laboratory.

3) A skin contact detector: device developed for eye protection. t has been

designed to prevent any emission of pulses if the appliance points at empty

space. The safety device allows the appliance to work only if the window of the

appliance makes full contact with the skin.

4) U.V. ﬁlter technology: a high-performance, in-built U.V. ﬁlter provides safe use

without any risk to the skin.

WARNING: Due to hormonal or physiological changes, some of your body hair may grow back.

You will then need follow-up sessions.

1800136015_EP9600F0_INSTANT SOFT 170 x 180 29/05/15 10:54 Page6

Simplicity

The appliance is also very comfortable to use, thanks to its ergonomic, compact shape. The operation

consists of 4 steps: shave the area concerned (by preference on the day before), switch on the appliance,

select the intensity and initiate the ﬂash.

4 - USE/OPERATION CONDITIONS

Appliance operation

Warning: Do not tr at th sam skin ar a mor than onc during on and th sam hair r moval s ssion.

R p at d tr atm nt in th sam plac can l ad to sid ﬀ cts.

The treatment of too dark skin using this technology can lead to secondary eﬀects, such as burns, blisters,

and skin colour changes after healing (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).

Lamp replacement

Warning: a disposabl lamp must also b r plac d if larg spots app ar insid or if th lamp window is brok n.

The disposable lamp of your appliance has a rated working life up to 75,000-pulses. The pulse intensity

is only deﬁned by the setting of the power level of the appliance.

After 75,000 pulses, the NSTANT SOFT COMPACT disposable lamp is likely to be less eﬀective. To prevent

any inconvenience for our users and to ensure their safety, the appliance will automatically stop working

CAUTION: Do not apply any cosmetic before or after treatment. This could lead to redness or burns.

f burns or blisters occur, STOP R GHT AWAY!

ATTENTION! DO NOT USE THIS A LIANCE:

• f the skin to be treated is darker than the skin types described and deﬁned in the table showing the diﬀerent

skin typologies.

• On areas exposed to sun, UV or treated with a self-tanning product: see the PRECAUT ON OF USE / STEP 2 .

• On moles or dark spots.

• Take the time to read the warning and instruction section, as well as the contraindications on page 2 and 9.

• The epilated area must be shaved.

Keep the appliance away from the eyes.

The treatment of hair on the face, neck or nipples is forbidden. Applying pulses on the eyes

can lead to severe eye lesions.

1800136015_EP9600F0_INSTANT SOFT 170 x 180 29/05/15 10:54 Page7

when the lamp has reached 75,000 pulses. For your comfort of use when the lamp has reached its lifetime,

the diode indicating the state of the lamp will start ﬂashing on the control panel, warning that the lamp

has to be replaced.

To continue your epilation, you must then replace the disposable lamp making sure to remove the Pro

Precision system beforehand if you were using it.

Lamp cleaning

Check for the presence of hair, dust or ﬁbres on the ﬁltering glass and on the skin colour sensor.

f necessary, clean the outside of the appliance using a soft cloth. Wet a soft, lint-free cloth with a few

drops of water, and clean the contact surface and the ﬁltering glass. To clean the lamp, switch oﬀ and

unplug the appliance.

To prevent any damage of your appliance do not use any solvent or alcool to clean the lamp.

5 - WARRANTY

This appliance is for domestic use only. t may not be used for professional purposes. The warranty will

become null and void in case of incorrect use.

6  IN WHICH CASES MAY THE APP IANCE BE USED?

Skin colour

The treatment of too dark skin using this technology can lead to secondary eﬀects such as burns, blisters,

and skin colour changes after healing (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).

This product was designed with a skin sensor which checks the colours of the skin being treated at the

beginning of each session and during use. The function of this sensor is to check that any application is

suitable for the skin type concerned. The light impulse is blocked when the skin is too dark.

Hair colour

The appliance is not eﬀective either against white or grey hair, or when the natural colour of your hair is

red or light blond. f your hair is of one of these colours, this appliance may not be suitable for you.

RECOMMENDATIONS & TI S

Remark: After having replaced the disposable lamp, always set the energy level at a lower level than usual.

Go back to the usual power level only if you did not feel any unusual discomfort during or after treatment.

The appliance removes unwanted hair by selectively attacking the pigments inside the hair shaft. The amount

of pigment in a person's skin determines the colour, and also the level of risk to which they are exposed when

using any light based hair removal method.

1800136015_EP9600F0_INSTANT SOFT 170 x 180 29/05/15 10:54 Page8

Body areas

The treatment areas include: armpits, the bikini line, the arms, the legs, the back, the shoulders and the

torso.
