In the following we would like to familiarize
you with the appliance and provide some
useful information about epilation. Please
read the use instructions carefully and
thoroughly before using the appliance.
Braun Silk·épil SoftPerfection Body
System 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.
With the innovative SoftLift™ tips and
the unique arrangement of tweezers it
provides an extra close epilation for
perfectly smooth skin, allowing the removal
of hairs as short as 0.5 mm as well as flatlying hairs. As the hair that re-grows is fine
and soft, there will be no more stubble.
to prevent blockage or damage to the
appliance.
• Before use, check whether your voltage
corresponds to the voltage printed on
the transformer. Always use the countryspecific 12-V transformer plug supplied
with the product.
General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on
legs, but it can also be used on other
sensitive areas like forearms, the underarm or the bikini line.
All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to ingrown hair and irritation (e.g.
itching, discomfort and reddening of the
skin) depending on the skin and hair type.
The high-precision epilation head
2
comes with two different attachments:
1a
The 4-way moving pain softener which
makes the epilation ultra gentle. Its
pulsating movement stimulates and
relaxes the skin to offset the pulling
sensation.
1b
The EfficiencyPro clip provides a
thorough epilation that is now even
faster. Ensuring maximum skin contact
and the optimum usage position, it
allows removal of even more hairs per
stroke.
The shaver head provides a fast and
8
close shave for a quick retouch of
personal body parts.
Important
• This appliance must never be used near
water (e.g. a filled wash basin, bathtub
or shower).
• Keep the appliance out of the 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
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 by bacteria penetrating 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 reac-
tions such as folliculitis (purulent hair
follicles) and varicose veins
8
– around moles
2
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.
diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud’s disease
– haemophilia or immune deficiency.
Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length
of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are
longer, we recommend that you pre-cut
the hair to this length before epilating,
using the shaver head with the OptiTrim
attachment .
8a
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 that re-grows may 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
allowing fine hair to get through to the skin
surface.

A How to epilate
• Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
• Before starting off, thoroughly clean the
epilation head .
• Attach the epilation head and make
sure that the 4-way moving pain
softener is in place.
• Plug the cord connector into the
socket and plug the transformer plug
7
into an electrical outlet.
1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch
4
to setting «2»
(«2» = normal speed,
«1» = reduced speed).
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For
optimum performance hold the appliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against the
hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. The SoftLift™ tips will make
sure that even flat-lying hair is lifted and
removed thoroughly at the root.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
Both rollers of the 4-way moving pain
softener should always be kept in
contact with the skin, allowing the
pulsating movements to stimulate and
relax the skin for a gentler epilation.
If you are used to epilation and look for
a faster way to efficiently remove hair,
please use the EfficiencyPro clip .
Placed on the epilation head instead of
the 4-way moving pain softener, it
allows maximum skin contact and
ensures optimum usage so that more
hairs are removed in one stroke.
