Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using your Braun Silk·épil Xelle Body System with Cool & Soothe set.
In the following we would like to familiarise 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 Xelle 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 exclusive, new epilation head 2 features 40 tweezers that are uniquely arranged to remove more hair in a single stroke for unprecedented efficiency. The SoftLift® tips integrated in the epilation head make sure that even short hairs (0.5 mm) and flat lying hairs are removed thoroughly at the root. It comes with two different attachments:
1a The pain softener gently stimulates the skin before and soothes it after the hair is pulled out to significantly reduce the pain sensation.
1b The flexible EfficiencyPro cap easily fits your body curves for a fast and pleasant epilation session. It ensures maximum skin contact at the optimum usage position thus enabling more effective hair removal.
The SmartLight incorporated in the switch reproduces an almost daylight condition, thus revealing even the finest hair and giving you a better control for improved epilation efficiency.
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 while for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort experienced at first is considerably reduced with repeated use as the number of hair to be removed decreases over time and as the skin adjusts to the process. The Cool & Soothe set 9 helps reducing possible skin irritations after epilation and will also leave the skin feeling cool and fresh.
The shaver head 8 is specially designed for a fast and close shave of underarms and bikini line.
Important
•For hygienic reasons, do not share this appliance with other persons.
•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 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 12 V transformer plug supplied with the product.
General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to epilate hair on legs, but use tests monitored by dermatologists have confirmed that you can also safely epilate the underarm and the bikini line.
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.
6
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 Cool and Soothe set will help to prevent irritation.
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 or immune deficiency.
Some useful tips
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 or use the shaver head 8 with the OptiTrim attachment to pre-cut hairs to this ideal length.
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.
It is a fact that hair re-growth will be reduced by 50 % if you remove hairs from the root regularly at least every 4 weeks using your Silk·épil.

A How to epilate
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
7
(for convenience you can store the gel packs in the freezer).
•Insert the gel pack 9a underneath the glove’s transparent foil. Use only with glove 9b .
•Put transparent (cool) side of the glove on your leg.
•Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute, longer if needed.
•Epilate the cooled skin area immediately as described.
•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 starting, thoroughly clean the epilation head 2 .
•Plug the cord connector 6 into the
socket 5 and plug the transformer plug
7into an electrical outlet.
1Make sure one of the attachments 1a or 1b is attached to the epilation head 2 .
To turn on the appliance, slide switch 4 to the «optimal» setting.
For reduced speed, choose the «soft» setting. The SmartLight illuminates as long as the appliance is switched on.
2Rub 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. As hair can grow in different directions, it may also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve optimum results. The pain softener 1a 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, attach the EfficiencyPro clip 1b .
It allows maximum skin contact and ensures optimum usage so that more hairs are removed in one stroke.
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
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 residue (like 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.
Cleaning the epilation head
5After epilating, unplug the appliance and clean the epilation head used. First remove the attachment used ( 1a or 1b ) and clean it with the brush.
8
6To clean the tweezer element, use the cleaning brush dipped into alcohol. Clean the tweezers with the brush from the rear side of the epilator head while turning the barrel manually. After cleaning, place your preferred attachment 1a or 1b back on the epilation head.

8e Shaver head base
1 Remove the OptiTrim 8a attachment. Put on the shaver head 8 by clicking it in (the long hair trimmer should be in front).
2When using the shaver head, always slide the switch up to the «optimal» setting.
3For best results, guide the shaving system in a way that about half of the shaving foil and the long hair trimmer are in contact with your skin. Always guide the appliance in the direction of the trimmer. The trimmer first raises all long hairs and cuts them off. Then the flexible foil follows to smooth away any stubble.
Important: Always stretch your skin when shaving.
Pre-cutting hair for epilation
4If you choose to pre-cut your hair to the ideal length for epilation, place the OptiTrim attachment onto the shaver head.
5Hold the appliance with the OptiTrim attachment ensuring that the surface of the comb is lying flat on the skin.
Guide the appliance with the comb tips against the hair growth (B 5). N.B. As hair does not always grow in the same direction it may be difficult to cut. In which case, guide the appliance slightly diagonally or in different directions.
Cleaning the shaver head
6After shaving, unplug the appliance and, if necessary, remove the OptiTrim attachment.
7Clean the OptiTrim attachment with the brush.
8In order to clean the shaver head, remove the shaving foil frame 8b .
To do so, press the release bars 8c on the front and back and pull it off.
9Carefully tap the shaving foil frame on a flat surface.
10Brush out the cutter block 8d as well as the area below the cutter block.
9
11N.B.: The shaving foil is a very delicate part that must not be cleaned with the brush.
12We recommend that you put a drop of light machine oil along the length of the trimmer every 3 months.
13Put the shaving foil frame back on and snap it into place.
14Replace the OptiTrim attachment because it also serves as a protective cap.
Note: Do not use the shaver head with a damaged shaving foil.
Replacing the shaving parts
The shaving foil and the cutter block are precision parts that wear out with the time. Have the shaving foil frame and the cutter block replaced when you notice a reduced shaving performance even after cleaning the shaver head.

Nos produits ont été conçus pour répondre aux normes de qualité, de fonctionnalité et de design les plus strictes. C’est ainsi que vous pourrez pleinement apprécier votre nouveau Silk·épil Xelle Body System avec set rafraîchissant Cool & Soothe.
A travers ce mode d’emploi, nous voulons vous familiariser avec cet appareil et vous fournir des informations utiles sur l’épilation. Lisez donc attentivement ce mode d’emploi avant d’utiliser cet appareil.
L’épilateur Silk·épil Xelle de Braun a été conçu pour retirer les poils indésira-
bles d’une manière aussi efficace, douce et facile que possible. Son système d’épilation retire les poils à la racine, laissant votre peau douce pendant des semaines. En repoussant, les poils sont fins et doux, pour un toucher plus agréable.
La nouvelle tête d’épilation 2 dispose de 40 pincettes à alignement continu, permettant de retirer davantage de poils en un seul passage, pour une efficacité sans précédent. Les extrémités SoftLift® intégrées à la tête d’épilation permettent de retirer efficacement à la racine même les poils les plus courts (0,5mm) et ceux couchés contre la peau. La tête d’épilation possède deux accessoires :
1a L’accessoire anti-douleur stimule la peau avant et après le retrait du poil pour atténuer la sensation de l’épilation.
1b L’accessoire EfficiencyPro s’adapte facilement aux courbes de votre corps pour une épilation plus rapide et plus efficace. Il assure un contact optimal avec votre peau grâce à une position d’utilisation optimale pour ainsi garantir une plus grande efficacité de retrait.
La fonction SmartLight intégrée à l’interrupteur reproduit une lumière similaire à
celle du jour. Elle rend visibles même les poils les plus fins, vous permettant un meilleur contrôle pour une efficacité améliorée.
Si vous n’avez jamais utilisé l’épilateur, ou si vous ne vous êtes pas épilé depuis longtemps, il faudra un peu de temps pour que votre peau s’adapte au procédé de l’épilation. L’inconfort ressenti lors de la première épilation se réduit considérablement lors des utilisations suivantes : en effet le nombre de poils à épiler diminue avec le temps et la peau s’adapte au procédé de l’épilation.
Le set rafraîchissant Cool & Soothe 9 aide à réduire les irritations possibles de la peau qui peuvent apparaître après l’épilation. De plus, il laisse votre peau apaisée avec une agréable sensation de fraîcheur.
La tête rasoir 8 vous offre un rasage rapide et précis, idéal pour les retouches express de certaines zones du corps.
