SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using your Braun Silk·épil 5. Please read the use instructions carefully and completely before using the appliance and keep them for future reference.

Braun Silk·épil 5 has been designed to make the removal of unwanted hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth for about 19 days.

Important

• This appliance is suitable for

cleaning under running tap water.

Warning: Detach the appliance from

the power supply before cleaning any of the heads with water.

• For hygienic reasons, do not share this

appliance with other persons.

• 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.

• Never use the epilation head (2)

without a cap (1).

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to ingrown hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and 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,

candida or immune deficiency.

Some useful tips

If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a longer period of time, it may take a short time for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort experienced in the beginning will decrease considerably with repeated use as the skin adapts to the process. 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 first shave (see section B) and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs a week later.

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 in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.

8 Cooling glove

• Start cooling for approximately

30 seconds, longer if needed.

• Epilate the cooled skin area immedi-

ately.

• Repeat cooling and epilating until

completion.

• While epilating, please ensure your

skin is dry. Important: Apply cooling glove to the

same area for no longer than 2 minutes. Keep away from sunlight. Do not use gel pack when damaged. Dispose of in household waste. Do not use if you are hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or if your skin suffers from sensory disturbances, when suffering from cardiac diseases or arterial circulatory disorders.

Preparing for use

• Your skin must be dry and free from

grease or cream.

• Before use, always make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with a cap (1).

• To change caps, press their lateral ribs and pull off.

• To change heads, press the release button (5).

Cooling glove for optional skin cooling

For the first few epilations or if you have sensitive skin, you can use the cooling glove (8), recommended by dermatologists to help reduce possible skin irritation.

• Ensure that the gel pack has been in the deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours (for convenience you can store the gel packs in the freezer).

• Insert the gel pack underneath the cooling glove’s transparent foil. Use only with glove.

• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove on your leg.

A How to epilate

The epilation head (2) features CloseGrip Technology to ensure extra efficiency especially with short hairs: The 40 tweezers always keep close contact to the skin to remove hairs as short as grain of sand. The pivoting head perfectly adapts to the body contours for maximum thoroughness. The high frequency massaging rollers (1a) stimulate your skin effectively for an extra gentle epilation. The efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation ensures maximum skin contact, positioning the tweezers at the optimal position at all times.

1 Turning on Turn the on/off switch (4) to operate

the appliance: «I» = extra gentle «II» = extra efficient When switched on, the light (3) illumi-

nates the area to be epilated. This

gives you a better control for improved

epilation efficiency.
