3. Warnings and safety notes

WARNING
Before using the device, read the safety notes carefully and follow the instructions exactly
whenever using the device. Non-observance of the following instructions can result in in-
jury or material damage. Store the instructions for use for future reference and make them
accessible to other users.
• This device may be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
provided they are supervised by a responsible person or they receive detailed instructions
on how to use the device.
• Do not use the device when pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Do not allow children to play with the device.
• If you discover extreme reddening, blistering or burns on the skin, stop using the device
immediately!
• Never look directly into the light emitted from the IPL lamp.
• Never attempt to release a light pulse into the air!
• On the basis of the "Hair and skin colour chart" on the back page of these instructions for
use, determine which light intensities are best suited to the colour of your skin and your
body hair and whether this method is suitable for you to use at all (if not, this is marked
by an 'x' in the chart).
• Do not use the device on naturally dark skin.
• Do not attempt to open or repair the device. If the device is opened, you could come into
contact with dangerous electrical components or with pulsed light energy, which could re-
sult in serious injury and/or permanent damage to the eyes.
• Do not use the device with a contact gel – this may damage the device.
Note
The device works best on dark hair types or on hair with a high melanin content. Black and
dark brown hair shows the best response and, although brown and light brown hair will also
respond to the treatment, it usually requires more hair removal sessions. Red hair could pro-
duce a reaction. White, grey or blond hair does not usually respond to the device, although
some users have noticed results after multiple hair removal sessions.
DANGER
Keep the device and adapter away from water! The IPL Pure Skin Pro is an electri-
cal device. Do not place it in water or allow it to fall into water or any other liquid.
This can lead to severe electric shock.
• Do not use the device when taking a bath.
• Do not use the device when it is damp or wet.
• Do not reach for the device if it has fallen into water.
• Immediately unplug the mains adapter if it has fallen into water.
• Never touch the mains adapter or the device with wet hands!
