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

Charging
• Before use, charge the appliance. For
best performance, we recommend
that you always use a fully charged
appliance.
• Using the special cord set, connect
the appliance to an electrical outlet
8
with the motor switched off. Charging
time is approximately 1 hour.
• Models 9-549, 9-579:
Connect the charging stand (10) to an
electrical outlet and place the appliance onto the stand for charging.
• The charging light (5) flashes green
to show that the epilator is being
charged. When the battery is fully
charged, the charging light shines
permanently. Once fully charged, use
the appliance without cord.
• When the charging light flashes
red, reconnect the appliance to an
electrical outlet via the special cord
set to recharge.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes
of cordless operation time.
• Wet usage might reduce the operation
time. We recommend that you
recharge the appliance after each use.
• The best temperature range for
charging, using and storing the appliance is between 59 °F and 95 °F.
In case the temperature is far beyond
this range, the charging time might be
longer whereas the cordless operation
time might be reduced.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely
event of the appliance overheating, it
may happen that the charging light
shines red for 8 seconds and then the
appliance turns off automatically. In
this case, turn the switch back to the
position «O» (off) and let the appliance
cool down.
How to operate the appliance
Press one of the lock keys (4a) and turn
the switch (4) clockwise to position «I» or
«II». The Smartlight (3) shines as long
as the appliance is switched on. This
provides better visibility of fine hairs.
To remove the epilation head (2), press
the release button (6).
To change caps, press their lateral ribs
and pull off.
A Epilation
Epilation 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.
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.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is between 2 and 5 mm
(0.02 – 0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we
recommend that you shave first and
epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs after
1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim
the hairs to 5 mm length.
Fine, regrowing hairs 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-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and
free from grease or cream.
Wet usage: The appliance can be used
on wet skin, even under running water.
Make sure that the skin is very moist in
order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the appliance.
2
Always stretch your skin when epilating.
Make sure that the epilation area is in
close contact with your skin.
Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against the
hair growth, in the direction of the switch.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve
optimal results. The massage cap (1a)
ensures best skin comfort during epilation. If you are used to the sensation of
epilation, you may replace the massage
cap with the skin contact cap (1b) which
provides a closer skin contact and an
improved adaptation to all body areas.
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
In sensitive areas, we recommend using
the skin contact cap (1b).
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning, these areas are particularly
pain-sensitive. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed setting «I»
for the first few times. With repeated
usage the pain sensation will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). When epilating the underarm, keep your arm raised up so that the
skin is stretched and guide the appliance
in different directions. As skin may be
more sensitive directly after epilation,
avoid using irritating substances such as
deodorants with alcohol.
How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is
clean and provided with a cap (1a or 1b).
1 Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation,
speed «II» for an efficient epilation.
5 Facial epilation
For removing any unwanted hair from the
face, use the epilation head (2) with the
(8) facial cap attached. For the first few
usages, we recommend that you select
speed setting «I» in order to get used to
9
the epilation sensation in those sensitive
areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the skin with alcohol to promote good
hygiene. When epilating the face, stretch
the skin with one hand and slowly guide
the epilator with your other hand the
direction of the switch.
6 Cleaning the epilation head
Regular cleaning ensures better performance.
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out.
Thoroughly clean the epilator head from
the rear side with the brush dipped into
alcohol. While doing so, turn the tweezer
element manually. This cleaning method
ensures best hygienic conditions for the
epilation head.
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
minimize 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),
varicose veins, around moles, reduced
immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes
mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud’s
disease, haemophilia, Candida or
immune deficiency.
b Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water. Remove the
cap. Hold the appliance with the epilation head under hot running water. Then
press the release button (6) to remove
the epilation head. Thoroughly shake
both, the epilation head and the appliance to make sure that remaining water
can drip out. Leave both parts to dry.
Before reattaching, make sure that they
are completely dry.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root
can lead to in-grown 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 from 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
