I 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 moisturizing cream after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair is between 0.5–5 mm long. If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you shave first and let the hair
grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from grease
or cream.
Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in
order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the
appliance.
How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and
provided with a cap (1 or 8).
A Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II» for
efficient epilation.
B 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 (1) 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 (8) which
provides a closer skin contact and an improved
adaptation to all body areas. Whenever the
SensoSmart light shines red, this is to remind you
not to press too hard.
C Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward
direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep
the leg stretched out straight.
D Underarm and bikini line epilation
In sensitive areas, we recommend using the skin
contact cap (8). Especially during the first applications these areas are particularly sensitive to pain.
Therefore, we recommend that you select speed
«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).
24
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.
E Facial epilation
For removing any unwanted hair from the face or
other sensitive areas, use the facial cap (9) as an
optional attachment to be placed on the epilation
head (2). For the first few usages, we recommend
that you select speed «I» in order to get used to
epilation in sensitive areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the
skin thoroughly with a disinfecting toner containing alcohol. When epilating the face, stretch
the skin with one hand and slowly guide the epilator with your other hand in the direction of the
switch.
F Cleaning the epilation head
1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (14):
Remove the cap and brush it out. 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.
2 Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance under
running water. Remove the cap and hold the
appliance with the epilation head under hot running water. Then press the release button (6) to
remove the epilation head. Shake the appliance
and the epilation head to remove excess water and
leave both parts to thoroughly dry out before
re-assembling.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to
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.
II Body treatment
The exfoliation brush (10a) helps avoid ingrown
hairs by removing the dead skin cells. The vibration pad (10b) provides a noticeable vibration and helps
improve the skin appearance.
You may use the brush /pad alternatively on a weekly
basis on wet skin during your shower routine with
your preferred body scrub or shower gel. The vibration pad may even be used more frequently with
body lotion or massage oil.
When using the appliance in a bathtub, do not
immerse it fully in water since this will not provide
optimum results.
How to use
A Click the adapter (11) provided with brush or pad
(10a/10b) onto the appliance.
B Slowly guide the appliance in circular movements
over your skin to gently refine it. Avoid holding it
on the same skin area for prolonged time. Do not
use it on your face. For best results, use the exfoliation brush at least 1–2 days before epilating.
C Cleaning
After use, rinse the brush/pad (10a/10b) under
running water. If needed, you may use some liquid
soap to thoroughly clean them.
You may remove the silicone cap from the vibra-
tion pad (10b) in order to make sure that there is
no water left inside the cap.
Before storing the exfoliation brush, you may
attach the protective cap.
D Replacement
With weekly use, we recommend that you replace
the brush/pad after 12 months. Refills (ref. no.
79 Spa) are available from your retailer or Braun
Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com.
F Replace the foil frame (b) and cutter block (c)
when you notice a reduced shaving performance.
Replacements parts can be obtained from your
retailer or Braun Customer Service Centres or via
www.service.braun.com. Do not shave with a
damaged foil.

III How to use the shaver head
The shaver head (12) is designed for a fast and
close shave of legs, underarms and bikini line, contour trimming and cutting hair to 5 mm length. With

on the trimmer cap (a).
D Cleaning: Do not clean the shaver foil (b) with the
brush as this may damage the foil.
