The best environmental temperature for charging is between 15 °C and 35 °C.

Using the special cord set, connect the Shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.

When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours. Subsequent charges will only take about 1 hour.

The charging light (5) shows that the shaver is being charged. When the batteries are fully charged, the green light goes off. If it comes on again while connected to an electrical outlet, this indicates the shaver is recharging to maintain its full capacity.

A full charge provides up to 40 minutes cordiess operation depending on

your hair type and usage behaviour. Frequent use of the exfoliation attachment will reduce the cordes operation time.

Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge it through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/dis- charging cycles.

+ Thanks to the convenient 2-way feature your Braun Silk-épil may also be used even if the rechargeable batteries are discharged, connecting it to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

The special cord set automatically adapts to any worldwide AC voltage {from 100 to 240 V).

For radiant skin, the Sik&Soft system captures even problem hairs, the integrated SoftStrip stretches the skin

to ensure a closer reach and the floating Shaver foil and the floating longhair trimmer hug the skin, all to ensure a perfectly close shave. For a gentle shave, the EasyGlide cushion ensures smoother gliding and reduces skin irritation.

Shaving your legs with the exfoliation attachment

Instead of the OptiShave attachment, you may want to use the exfoliation attachment (6) that helps enhancing the general look of the skin surface thanks to its exfoliation pad. The exfoliation pad gently scrubs the skin to remove dead Skin particles, thus revitalizing the skin and giving it a radiant lode.
