Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality and
design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using
your Braun Silk·épil 7.
Please read the use instructions carefully
before using the appliance and keep them
for future reference.
Braun Silk·épil 7 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 weeks. As the
hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will
be no more stubble.
the power supply before cleaning any of
the heads with water.
This appliance is not intended for use by
•
children or persons with reduced physical
or mental capabilities, unless they are
given supervision by a person responsible
for their safety. In general, we recommend
that you keep the appliance out of 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.
Never use the epilation head without cap.
•
The epilation head features a unique
arrangement of 40 tweezers and SoftLift®
tips for unprecedented efficiency. Thanks to
its pivoting feature, it ideally adapts to the
body contours, for better short hair removal
and thoroughness. The massage system (1)
stimulates the skin before and soothes it after
the hair is pulled out to significantly reduce
the pain sensation.
The underarm cap (7) has been designed for
usage in delicate body areas such as under
the arms and in the bikini area.
Important
For hygienic reasons, do not share this
•
appliance with other persons.
This appliance is provided with a special
•
cord set with an integrated Safety Extra
Low Voltage power supply. Do not
exchange or manipulate any part of it.
Otherwise there is risk of electric shock.

General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to in-growing 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.

Preparing for use
•
Your skin must be dry and free from grease
or cream.
•
Before use, always make sure that epilation
head is clean.
•
Always make sure that the epilation head
(2) is provided with a cap.
•
To change caps, press their lateral ribs and
pull off.
•
To remove the head, press the release
button (5).
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recommend
that you either shave first and epilate the
shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.
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 Turning on
Press one of the lock keys (4a) and turn
•
the switch clockwise to setting 2
(optimum setting). For reduced speed,
choose setting 1 (soft setting).
The «smartlight» comes on instantly
•
and shines as long as the appliance is
switched on. It reproduces an almost
daylight condition, thus revealing even
the finest hair and giving you a better
control for improved epilation efficiency.
2 How to guide the appliance
Always stretch your skin when epilating.
•
Always make sure that the epilation area
•
between the massaging rollers is in
contact with your skin.
The pivoting caps automatically adapt to
•
the contour of your skin.

Guide the appliance in a slow, continu-
•Brush cleaning:
ous 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 optimum results. The
pulsating movement of the massaging
rollers 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
For this specific application, the underarm
cap (7) has been developed.
Placed on the epilation head (2), it perfectly
follows the contours of these areas,
providing a gentle and thorough epilation.
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning, these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. With repeated usage
the pain sensation will diminish. For more
comfort, ensure that the hair is at the
optimum length of 2-5 mm.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with
a towel. 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.
Cleaning the epilation head
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance.
Regular cleaning ensures better performance.

5 Remove the cap and brush it out.
6 Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the
rear side of the epilator head 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.
Cleaning under running water:
7 Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with
the epilation head under running water.
Then press the release button (5) to remove
the epilation head (2).
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.
For electric specifications, please see printing
on the special cord set. The special cord set
automatically adapts to any worldwide AC
voltage.
