In the following we would like to familiarise
you with the appliance and provide some
useful information about epilation. Please
read the use instructions carefully and
thoroughly before using the appliance.

Braun Silk·épil EverSoft has been de­signed to make the removal of unwanted
hair as efficient, gentle and easy as
possible. Its proven epilation system
removes your hair at the root, leaving your
skin smooth for weeks.

• The high-precision epilation head
with its unique arrangement of tweezers
and the integrated feed-in geometry
ensures an efficient epilation and
removes even hair as short as

0.5 mm at the root. As the hair that
re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no
more stubble.

• The EverSoft attachment makes the
epilation ultra gentle. With its pulsating
movement it stimulates and relaxes the
skin, thus masking the pulling sensation.

Important

• This appliance must never be used near
water (e.g. a filled wash basin, bathtub
or shower).

• Keep the appliance out of the reach of
children.

• 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.

• Before use, check whether your voltage
corresponds to the voltage printed on
the transformer. Always use the country­specific 12 V transformer plug supplied
with the product (USA/CDN: type
PI-41-77 D-1, Mexico: PI-41-77 AR).

General information on epilation

Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on
legs, but it can also be used on all sensi-

8

2

tive areas like forearms, the underarm or
the bikini line.

All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g.
itching, discomfort or reddening of the
skin), depending on the condition of the
skin and hair.
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.

Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are longer,
we recommend to pre-cut to this length.

When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear

overnight. To relax the skin we recommend

applying a moisture cream after epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent in­growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

How to epilate

1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch

to setting «2»

4

(«2»= normal speed, «1» = reduced
speed).

2 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. Both rolls of the EverSoft
attachment should always be kept in
contact with the skin, allowing the
pulsating movements to stimulate and
relax the skin for a gentler epilation.

3

Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretched
out straight.

4

Underarm and bikini line epilation

Use tests monitored by dermatolo­gists have revealed that you can also
epilate the underarm and the bikini line.
Please be aware that these areas are
particularly sensitive to pain. With
repeated usage the pain sensation will
diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residue (like
deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with
a towel. When epilating the underarm,
keep your arm raised up and guide the
appliance in different directions.

Cleaning the epilation head

5 After epilating, unplug the appliance

and clean the epilation head:
First take off the EverSoft attachment

1

and brush out the rolls.

6 Thoroughly clean the tweezer element

with the cleaning brush and also with
alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn
the tweezer element manually. To
remove the epilation head, press the
release buttons
and pull it off.

clean with the brush. Replace the
epilation head and the EverSoft
attachment.
