design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using

Please read the use instructions carefully
before using the appliance and keep them

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.

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

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 with the
motor switched off. Charging time is
approximately 1 hour.
• The green charging light (5a) flashes 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 red low-charge light (5b) flashes,
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
15 °C and 35 °C. In case the temperature
is far beyond this range, charging time
might be longer whereas the cordless
operation time might be reduced.
Getting prepared for …
… 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.
After each wet usage, clean the appliance
under running water.
• Before use, always make sure that epilation
head is clean.
• Always make sure that the epilation head
(2) is provided with a cap.
