Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using your Braun Silk·épil Xpressive.
Please read the use instructions carefully before using the appliance and keep them for future reference.
Braun Silk·épil Xpressive 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 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 (1a) stimulates the skin before and soothes it after the hair is pulled out to significantly reduce the pain sensation.
The Efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation ensures maximum skin contact, always taking care of the optimum usage position thanks to its pivoting feature.
The underarm cap (8) 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.
• 
This appliance is suitable for use
in a bath or shower. For safety reasons, it can only be operated cordlessly.
•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.
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
6
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 ingrowing 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. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.
•The best environmental temperature for charging is between 5 °C and 35 °C.
•As a safety feature to avoid overheating, it may happen that the charging lights flash
7
(red/green). After cooling down, the appliance will continue charging with the green charging light flashing.
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. Additionally, you may apply some shower gel to the moist skin for results that will leave your skin beautifully soft and smooth after wet epilation.
•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 change heads, press the release button
How to epilate
1Turning 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.
2How 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, 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 optimum results. The pulsating movement of the massaging rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation.
•If you are used to the sensation of epilation and prefer a faster way of removing hair, attach the Efficiency cap (1b) replacing the massage system (1a).
3Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.
4Underarm and bikini line epilation
For this specific application, the underarm cap (8) 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
8
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.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event of the appliance overheating, it may happen that the appliance automatically turns off and the charging lights flash (red/green). In this case, turn the switch back to position «0» and let the appliance cool down.
Cleaning the epilation head
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance. Regular cleaning ensures better performance.
Brush cleaning:
5Remove the cap and brush it out.
6Thoroughly 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:
7Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with the epilation head under running water. Then press the release button (6) 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.
