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.

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

Braun Silk·épil 7 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.

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.

• 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. Keep the
appliance out of reach of children in order
to make sure that they do not play with it.

• 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.
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
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and fine
hair can get through to the skin surface.

• 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.

• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of

cordless operation time.

• Wet usage might reduce the operation

time. We recommend that you recharge the

appliance after each use.

• The best temperature range for charging,

using and storing the appliance is between

15 °C and 35 °C. In case the temperature

is far beyond this range, charging time

might be longer whereas the cordless

operation time might be reduced.
