In the following we would like to familiarize 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-epil SoftPerfection 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. With the innovative SoftLift™ tips and the unique arrangement of tweezers it provides an extra close epilation for perfectly smooth skin, allowing the removal of hairs as short as 0.5 mm as well as flatlying hairs. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble.

The high-precision epilation head ② comes with two different attachments:

The massaging rollers clip which makes the epilation ultra gentle. Its pulsating movement stimulates and relaxes the skin to offset the pulling sensation.
The EfficiencyPro clip provides a thorough epilation that is now even faster. Ensuring maximum skin contact and the optimum usage position, it allows removal of even more hairs per stroke.

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.

General information on epilation

Silk-épil is designed to remove hair on legs, but it can also be used on other sensitive areas like forearms, the underarm or the bikini line.

All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to ingrown hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening of the skin) depending on the skin and hair type.

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-epil. In some cases, inflammation of the skin could occur by bacteria penetrating 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 (0.08-0.2 in.) If hairs are longer, we recommend that you pre-cut the hair to this length before epilating.

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 that re-grows may 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 allowing fine hair to 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 ②
• Attach the epilation head and make sure that the massaging rollers clip is in place.

Plug the cord connector ⑥ into the socket ⑤ and plug the special cord set ⑦ into an electrical outlet.
1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch ④ to setting «2»

(«2» = normal speed,

1 = reduced speed).

2 Rub 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. The SoftLift™ tips will make sure that even flat-lying hair is lifted and removed thoroughly at the root.

As hair can grow in different directions, it may also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve optimum results.

Both rollers of the massaging rollers clip 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, please use the EfficiencyPro clip (b).

It allows maximum skin contact and ensures optimum usage so that more hairs are removed in one stroke.

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

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 area to remove residue (such as deodorants or creams). Carefully dab the area dry with a towel. When epilating the underarm, keep your arm raised up and guide the appliance in different directions.

Cleaning the epilation head

5 After epilating, unplug the appliance and clean the epilation head: If you have used one of the attachments or first remove it and clean it with the brush.
6 Thoroughly clean the tweezer element with the cleaning brush and also with alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn the tweezer element manually. To remove the epilation head, press the release buttons ③ on the left and right and pull it off.
7 Give the top of the housing a quick clean with the brush. Place the epilation head and the massaging rollers clip back on the housing.
