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 Efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation
ensures maximum skin contact, always
taking care of the optimum usage position
thanks to its pivoting feature.

The shaver head (8) is specially designed for
a fast and close shave of underarms and
bikini line/area.

exchange or manipulate any part of it.
Otherwise there is risk of electric shock.

•

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
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 without cap.

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.
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.

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

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.

Charging

Before use, charge the appliance. For best

•
performance, we recommend that you
always use a fully charged appliance.
Using the special cord set, connect the
appliance to an electrical outlet with the
motor switched off. Charging time is
approximately 1 hour.
The green charging light (5a) flashes to

•
show that the epilator is being charged.
When the battery is fully charged, the
charging light shines permanently. Once
fully charged, use the appliance without
cord.
When the red low-charge light (5b) flashes,

•
reconnect the appliance to an electrical
outlet via the special cord set to recharge
it.
A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of

•
cordless operation time. Maximum battery
capacity will only be reached after several
charging/discharging cycles.
The best environmental temperature for

•
charging is between 5 °C and 35 °C.
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely

•
event of the appliance overheating, it may
happen that the charging lights flash (red/
green). After cooling down, the appliance

will continue charging with the green
charging light flashing.

Getting prepared for …

… dry usage

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

… wet usage

The appliance can be used on wet skin, even
under running water. Make sure that the skin
is really moist in order to achieve optimum
gliding conditions for the appliance.
Additionally, you may apply some shower gel
to the moist skin for results that will leave
your skin beautifully soft and smooth after
wet epilation.

Before use, always make sure that epilation

•
head is clean.
Always make sure that the epilation head

•
(2) is provided with a cap.
To change caps, press their lateral ribs and

•
pull off.
To change heads, press the release button

•
(6).

A How to epilate

1 Turning on

Press one of the lock keys 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.

2 How 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, continu-

•
ous 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).

3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an

upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.

4 Underarm 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 residues (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
