Please read the use instructions carefully

and completely before using the

appliance and keep them for future

reference.

Important

• For hygienic reasons, do not share this

appliance with other persons.

• Keep the appliance dry.

• When switched on, the appliance must

never come in contact with the hair on

your head, eyelashes, ribbons, etc. to

prevent any danger of injury as well as

to prevent blockage or damage to the

appliance.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal at the root

can lead to ingrown hair and irritation

(e.g. itching, discomfort or reddening of

the skin), depending on the condition of

the skin and hair type. This is a normal

reaction and should quickly disappear,

but may be stronger when you are

removing hair at the root for the first few

times or if you have sensitive skin. If,

after 36 hours, the skin still shows

irritation, we recommend that you

contact your physician. In general, the

skin reaction and the sensation of pain

tend to diminish considerably with the

repeated use of Silk·épil.

In some cases inflammation of the skin

could occur when bacteria penetrate the

skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over

the skin). Thorough cleaning of the

epilation head before each use will

minimise the risk of infection.

If you have any doubts about using this

appliance, please consult your physician.

In the following cases, this appliance

should only be used after prior

consultation with a physician:

– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin

reactions such as folliculitis (purulent

hair follicles) and varicose veins

– around moles

– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.

diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,

Raynaud’s disease

– haemophilia or immune deficiency.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable

when the hair has the optimal length of

2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in). If hairs are longer,

we recommend that you precut the hair

to this length before epilating.

Fine hair which regrows might not grow

up to the skin surface. The regular use of

massage sponges (e.g. after showering)

or exfoliation peelings help to prevent

in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing

action removes the upper skin layer and

fine hair can get through to the skin

surface.

Epilation

(see picture section A)

• Before use, make sure that the

epilation head (2) is clean and

provided with the massaging rollers

attachment.

To turn on the appliance, slide up the

on/off switch (4):

Setting I: extra gentle

Setting II: extra efficient

When switched on, the switch light

illuminates the area to be epilated.

Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For

optimal performance, hold the appliance

at a right angle (90°) against your skin

and guide it without pressure against the

hair growth, in the direction of the switch.

The massaging rollers (1) stimulate the

skin before and after the hair is pulled out

for an extra gentle epilation experience.

Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an

upward direction. When epilating behind

the knee, keep the leg stretched out

straight.

Underarm and bikini line epilation

Please be aware that especially at the

beginning these areas are particularly

sensitive to pain. Therefore, we

recommend that you start with switch

setting I. With repeated usage the pain

sensation will diminish.

Before epilating, thoroughly clean the

area to remove residue (like deodorant).

Carefully dab the area dry with a towel.

When epilating the underarm, keep your

arm raised up and guide the appliance in

different directions.

Cleaning

After epilating, unplug the appliance,

remove the massaging rollers and clean

the epilation head (2). Thoroughly clean

the tweezer element with the cleaning

brush dipped into alcohol. While

cleaning, you can turn the tweezer

element manually.

To remove the epilation head, press the

release buttons (3) on the left and right

and pull it off. After cleaning, place the

epilation head and the massaging rollers

back on the housing.

Shaving

(see picture section B)

The shaver head (7) is designed for a fast

and close shave of legs, underarms and

bikini line, contour trimming and cutting

hair to 5 mm length. Use the shaver head

with speed II.

For cutting hair to 5 mm length, put on

the trimmer cap (a).

Cleaning

Tap the shaver foil frame (b) on a flat

surface. Do not clean it with the brush as

this may damage the foil.

The shaving parts need to be lubricated

regularly every 3 months.

Replace the foil frame (b) and cutter

block (c) when you notice a reduced

shaving performance. Replacements

parts can be obtained from your retailer

or Braun Customer Service Centers or via

www.service.braun.com. Do not shave

with a damaged foil.

Subject to change without notice.
