The Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/) has been put in place to recycle products using best available recovery and recycling techniques to minimise the impact on the environment, saving energy and resources and avoiding hazardous materials from going to landfill.
This is another sensitive part of the body and the hairs are again liable to grow in many directions and be deep-seated. Do not attempt to remove all the hairs growing under the arm in one movement, instead treat the area in stages using narrower paper strips which can be cut to size. Again these hairs need to be trimmed if they are too long (more than 5mm). Keep the skin taut by stretching and moving your arm as necessary. Your cold compress may come in handy to prevent discomfort.
INSTRUCTIONS
UNDERARM
ROLLER WAXER
The skin on your face is particularly sensitive and special care needs to be taken when removing facial hairs.

WAXING DIFFERENT AREAS
© The Dezac Group 2012 UPPER LIP
The upper lip ideally needs to be treated as three separate areas. Hairs generally grow downwards directly under the nose and outwards at either side towards the corners of the mouth.
Wax each area separately, applying the wax in the same direction of the hair growth and then removing the strip against the hair growth for the best results. Cut removal strips to the required size if necessary.
The product is classed as Electrical or Electronic equipment so please ensure that at the end of the life of this product it is disposed of in the correct manner in accordance with local authority requirements. It must NOT be disposed of with household waste.
IMPORTANT: After waxing the underarm area avoid using antiperspirants or deodorants for at least 24 hours.
EYEBROWS ROLLER WAXER™ is only accurate enough to remove the hairs between the eyebrows. Plucking will still be necessary to shape each individual eyebrow.

© The Dezac Group 2012 It is best to trim hairs that are longer than 10mm to approximately 5mm, or the process of removal can be both haphazard and painful! Also, because the hairs in this sensitive region grow in many directions, it is best to treat just a small area at a time.

The hairs at the bikini line are often deep-seated and you may wish to use a cold compress made from dampened cotton wool to help relieve any stinging after waxing. To find the right position, try sitting in a comfortable chair with your feet above your waist and your legs spread. Or, stand with one leg at waist height, with sole of foot on wall.
• Wax Equipment Cleaner is NOT suitable for use on the skin.
• Unplug the unit after use and allow to cool completely before cleaning or removing the wax cartridge.
• If the supply cord or plug is damaged, stop using product - it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• If itching or an allergic reaction occurs within 48 hours of treatment, further exposure should cease until medical advice is sought.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
AFTER WAXING
U S I N G Y O UR U N I T
The ROLLER WAXER™ is a clean, quick and easy to use wax heater roller system.
Lid
With two treatment heads, large areas such as legs, backs and arms are quickly hair free, while the smaller roller head is ideal for detailed hair removal around sensitive areas, like the upper lip and bikini line.
6
Remove the heating unit from the charging base.
• It is important to take extra care of the waxed areas of your body especially for the first 24 hours. Although you can use an antiseptic moisturising lotion to soothe your skin, do NOT use perfumed body lotions or creams since these can cause an allergic reaction or discomfort.
© The Dezac Group 2012 • Exfoliating 2 days after your treatment and everyday thereafter will help prevent ingrown hairs.
Level Indicator Panel
The illuminated level indicator window allows you to keep an eye on your wax levels. Simply plug in, slot the wax cartridge into the hand held heater and you are ready to go.
NOTE: Do NOT remove the wax roller cartridge from the heating unit. The wax will remain at the correct temperature for longer if the cartridge remains inside the hand held heating unit during application.

TREATMENT AREAS
7
LARGE TREATMENT HEAD Recommended for use on: • Legs
NOTE: Test a small amount of wax to ensure that you are happy with the temperature. If it is too hot allow to cool for a few minutes.
Charging Base
• Forearms
When first heating a wax cartridge, roll over a piece of paper to achieve an even flow of wax over the roller head before applying to your chosen treatment area.
8
Hold unit at 450 to your treatment area. Roll the wax over the skin in the same direction as the hair growth, covering an area no larger than the wax removal strip.
• We recommend wearing loose fitting, natural fibre clothing after treatment, and avoiding tight fitting or nylon clothes which may rub on the treated areas. • The removal of deep-seated and/or thick hairs, such as those found under the arm or at the bikini line, can sometimes cause small drops of blood to appear on the surface of the skin. A cold compress made of dampened cotton wool will remove these traces of blood and help to cool the area.
• We recommend cleaning partially used wax cartridge rollers after use with the wax equipment cleaner to stop dust and residue sticking to the roller. Wrapping the cartridge head in cling film or foil will also help to keep it in good condition for future use. Alternatively leave the cartridge in the heating unit and replace lid before storing.
HINTS & TIPS
© The Dezac Group 2012 Position charging base onto a stable work surface and plug into the mains power supply.
1
SMALL TREATMENT HEAD
TIP: Place the unit back in the charging base between applications to keep the wax at the correct temperature.
Recommended for use on: • Underarms
• Upper lip
NOTE: On more delicate areas, such as bikini line and upper lip, it is better to apply the wax in smaller patches - refer to ‘Waxing Different Areas’ section of these instructions for more detail.
• Eyebrows
• Bikini Line
Choose the wax roller cartridge suitable for your treatment area and remove foil hygiene seal.

patch T E S T Always do a patch test on the inside of your forearm or on a small area of your skin for possible skin reaction. Wait 24 hours and if irritation occurs do not use this product.
Slide the wax roller cartridge into the heating unit.
3
Firmly smooth down paper strip over area of wax. Holding skin taut, pull off with one quick motion in the opposite direction of hair growth. Keep the paper strip parallel and as close to the skin as possible. NOTE: Do NOT pull up and away from the skin as this only breaks the hairs off.
• For hygiene reasons we suggest this product is single person use ONLY.
• During the 24-hour period following your treatment, you should avoid hot baths, tanning beds, saunas or other heat treatments. • When first using a heated wax cartridge, roll over a piece of paper to get the flow of wax started before applying to your chosen treatment area.
• Always apply wax in the same direction as the hair growth and pull off the strip in the opposite direction of the hair growth. • Always pull the strip off in one quick motion, backwards and parallel to the skin. If the strip is pulled away from the skin instead of parallel to the skin, the hairs tend to be tugged up. This is both painful and does not remove the hairs successfully. It can also cause bruising to the skin. • Peeling off slowly will be painful and unsuccessful. • Never re-apply wax to treated area. Use tweezers to remove any remaining hairs. • Ideally the hairs should be no less than 5mm in length to allow the wax to grip firmly.

Place the heating unit into the charging base and replace lid. The level Indicator panel will ILLUMINATE PURPLE to indicate that the unit is heating the wax.
Move onto the next patch and repeat steps 8–10 until area is completely hair and wax free.
After approximately 30-40 MINUTES of heating, the wax will be ready to use.
DO NOT re-apply wax to treated area within 24 hours.
• The area to be treated must be clean, dry and free of make-up and grease, e.g. moisturisers, lotions, etc.
• Wash and thoroughly dry the area prior to treating as this will temporarily remove the body’s natural oils and help the wax adhere to the hairs.
5
• Protect clothing and surroundings. 30 MINUTES
Immediately apply firm pressure to the area with the palm of your hand or a cold compress to soothe the area.
TIP: If a sticky residue remains on the skin, it may be a sign that the wax is not hot enough. To remove sticky residue we suggest using some baby oil or an oil based cleanser.
• You can re-use the paper strip until it has become fully loaded with wax, at which point it should be discarded.
• Fold over a small piece of the paper strip before use. This creates a section to grip as the strip is pulled from the skin. • If a sticky residue remains on the skin, it may be a sign that the wax is not hot enough. To remove any sticky residue we suggest using baby oil or an oil based cleanser.
