Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality
and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy
using your Braun Silk·épil 7 Dual Epilator, the
first epilator with integrated blade designed
to be used in water with shave gel or foam.

Please read the use instructions carefully
before using the appliance and keep them
for future reference.

Braun Silk·épil 7 Dual Epilator has been
designed to give you longlasting smooth skin
in one stroke thanks to its dual technology.
First, it gently epilates the hair from the
root, then the integrated blade follows to
smoothen the skin.

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.
For electric specifications, please see
printing on the special cord set. The
special cord set automatically adapts to
any worldwide AC voltage.

•

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,
sensory 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. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.

• 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 a
cap.

• Be careful when guiding the Smoothing
cap (2) over bony areas like the ankles.
The integrated blade is very sharp and
might cause injuries.

• For safety reasons, stop using the
Smoothing cap if it has been dropped.
Replace it with a new one.

General information

All methods of hair removal at the root
can lead to skin irritations (e.g. itching,
discomfort and reddening) 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.

Charging

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.

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 shave first and epilate the shorter,
re-growing hairs several days later.

If you have used an epilator before, keep
in mind that you do not need to go over
the same area repeatedly thanks to the
one-stroke efficiency of the Dual Epilator
technology. This will reduce the epilation
time significantly. Carefully guide the Dual
Epilator over your legs and take special care
on bony, uneven skin areas in order to avoid
injuries caused by the blade.

Description

• Before use, charge the appliance. For
best performance, we recommend that
you always use a fully charged appliance.
Place the appliance (switched off) in the
charging stand or connect it directly to an
electrical outlet via the special cord set.
Charging time is approximately 1 hour.

• The green charging light (6a) flashes to
show that the shaver is being charged.
When the battery is fully charged, the
charging light shines permanently. Once
fully charged, use the appliance without
cord.

• A full charge provides up to 30 minutes
of effective usage time.

• When the red low-charge light (6b)
flashes, reconnect the appliance to an
electrical outlet to recharge.

• After each use, recharge the appliance
either directly via the special cord set or by
placing it onto the charging stand.

• The best environmental temperature for
charging, using and storing the appliance
is between 15 °C and 35 °C. In case the
temperature is beyond this range, the

charging time might be longer whereas
the cordless operation time might be
reduced.

Turning on

• Press one of the lock keys (5a) and turn

the switch clockwise to select your
preferred speed setting:
«I» = extra gentle
«II» = extra efficient

• 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.

Wet usage

The Dual Epilator has been designed for wet
usage with shave gel or foam.
In order to achieve optimum gliding condi­tions use the appliance on wet skin using
shave gel.
For optimum results, we recommend using
Gillette Satin Care* shave gel.
For improved handling under wet conditions,
you may want to attach the non-slip grip (7).

A Dual Epilation with the

Smoothing cap

Hair removal with the Silk·épil 7 Dual Epilator
is a completely new approach to remove hair.
In one stroke it first gently removes the hair
from the root, followed by the blade to
smoothen the skin. The unique Dual Epilator
combines Close-Grip Technology (incl.
40 tweezers) for long-lasting results with
integrated Venus Technology for one stroke
efficiency.

Dual epilation with the Smoothing cap has
been designed and optimized for usage on
legs. If you want to use the Smoothing cap
for hair removal in other body areas, please
take extra care because of the sharp blades.
Skin needs to be stretched during usage.

Start-up phase

In order to allow your skin to adapt to
the new hair removal process, it is most
important that you use the appliance once a
week during the first month of usage. After
3-4 usages, with every hair being epilated
once and the hair re-growth adapted to the
new process, you will be able to enjoy
long-lasting results as with normal epilation,
using the dual epilator every 2-3 weeks.

How to use the Dual Epilator

• Before use, make sure that Epilation head

(3) is clean. Attach the Smoothing cap (2).

• Apply shave foam or gel on the wet skin.

• Stretching your skin, guide the appliance

in a slow, continuous movement without
pressure against the hair growth in the
direction of the switch.

• Make sure that the head is guided flat over
the skin. Its pivoting head perfectly adapts
to the skin contours. It first epilates and
then smoothens your skin in one stroke.
Thanks to the integrated blade, the
Smoothing cap provides increased
efficiency. You do not need to go several
times over the same area.

• Guide the dual epilator starting from the
lower leg in an upward direction. Keep
your leg stretched out straight when
removing hair in the area behind the knee.
Take special care to avoid injuries around
the ankles and on other bony areas.

• From time to time, rinse off the foam built
up on the Smoothing cap.
