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 epilation head comes with two additional caps:

•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 beginner cap (1c) (also for sensitive skin) reduces the epilation area so that less hair is removed per stroke. This gives you a gentle start in epilation.

The narrow epilation head (7) is perfectly suited to follow the contours of delicate body parts such as under the arms and the bikini area. A reduced number of tweezers and the narrow design, specifically adapted to these body areas, improve the handling and ensure a particularly gentle epilation in these areas.

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

cleaning under running tap water. Warning: Detach the appliance from

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 (2) without cap (1).

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. Using the pre-epilation wipes can help to prevent irritation.

If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irritation, we recommend that you contact

6

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

Preparing your skin

Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.

Optional skin cooling: For the first few epilations or if you have sensitive skin, you can use the cooling application, 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 glove‘s transparent foil. Use only with glove.

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

7

•Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute, longer if needed.

•Epilate the cooled skin area immediately.

•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 the appliance

•Before use, always make sure that the epilation head is clean.

•Always make sure that the epilation head

(2)is provided with a cap (1).

•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 narrow epilation head (7) has been developed. Thanks to its specific design adapted to the contours of these areas, it provides 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

8

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.

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 (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.

Please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end

of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Centre or at

appropriate collection points provided in your country.

Por favor, lea atentamente las instrucciones antes de utilizar el aparato y guárdelas para una posible consulta posterior.

La depiladora Braun Silk·épil Xpressive ha sido diseñada para eliminar el vello no

deseado de la forma más eficaz, suave y fácil posible. Su sistema de depilación probado elimina el vello de raíz, dejando la piel suave durante semanas. Además, cuando el vello vuelve a salir, crece fino y suave, sin los efectos del afeitado tradicional.

El cabezal de depilación de raíz está compuesto por un conjunto único de 40 pinzas y puntas SoftLift® para obtener una máxima eficacia. El accesorio del cabezal pivotante se adapta perfectamente a las formas del cuerpo, lo que permite eliminar mejor y de forma más minuciosa el vello más corto. El sistema de masaje (1a) estimula la piel antes y después de la depilación para minimizar al máximo la sensación de tirantez. El cabezal de depilación de raíz se entrega con dos accesorios adicionales:

•Accesorio de posicionamiento (1b) se ajusta perfectamente al contorno de tu cuerpo, para una sesión de depilación rápida y placentera. Asegura que la depiladora está en la posición adecuada y con el máximo número de pinzas en contacto con la piel, permitiendo una depilación más efectiva

•Accesorio para primeras depilaciones (1c) (también para pieles sensibles), que reduce el área de depilación, de modo que se elimina menos vello en cada pasada. Dicho cabezal permite una iniciación suave en la depilación.

El cabezal de depilación de raíz de zonas sensibles (7) es muy adecuado para depilar los contornos de las partes más delicadas del cuerpo como las axilas o la línea del bikini. Con un número menor de pinzas y su diseño estrecho, especialmente adaptado para estas zonas, resulta de fácil manejar

y asegura una depilación particularmente suave de las zonas sensibles.
