USER MANUAL Silk-epil EverSmooth 2165 BRAUN

English

Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy your new Silk·épil.

Please read the use instructions carefully and completely before using the appliance.

Braun Silk-épil EverSmooth has been designed to make the removal of unwanted hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes your hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth for weeks.

The high-precision epilation head ① with its unique arrangement of tweezers and the integrated feed-in geometry ensures an efficient epilation and removes even hair as short as 0.5 mm at the root. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble.

Warning

• For hygienic reasons, do not share this appliance with other persons.
• Keep the appliance dry.
• 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 country-specific 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 all sensitive areas like forearms, the underarm or the bikini line.

All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort or 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 or immune deficiency.

Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimal length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.). If hairs are longer, we recommend to pre-cut to this 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 in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.

How to epilate

• Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
• Before starting off, thoroughly clean the epilation head ①
• Plug the cord connector into the socket and plug the transformer plug into an electrical outlet.
• To turn on the appliance, slide switch ③ up to setting «2» («2» = normal speed, «1» = reduced speed).
• Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For optimal performance, hold the appliance at a right angle (90°) against your skin and guide it without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch.
• Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from bottom upwards. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

1. Underarm and bikini line epilation Use tests monitored by dermatologists have revealed that you can also epilate the underarm and the bikini line. Please be aware that these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish.

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 and guide the appliance in different directions.

Cleaning the epilation head

1. After epilating, unplug the appliance and clean the epilation head.
2. Thoroughly clean the tweezer element with the cleaning brush and also with cleaning fluid (e.g., alcohol). While cleaning, you can turn the tweezer element manually. To remove the epilation head, press the release buttons ② on the left and right and pull it off.
3. Give the top of the housing a quick clean with the brush. Place the epilation head back on the housing.
