This provides better visibility of fine hairs or skin.

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.

When epilating for the first time, it is advisable to

epilate in the evening, so that any possible red-

dening can disappear overnight. To relax the skin

we recommend applying a moisturizing cream

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when

the hair is between 0.5–5 mm long. If hairs are

longer, we recommend that you shave first and

let the hair grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from

Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in

order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for

Make sure that the epilation head (2) is attached

and provided with the High-Frequency Massage

System (1) or one of the caps (8, 9).

A Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II»

for efficient epilation.

B Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make

sure that the epilation area is in close contact

Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous

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 optimal results. The High

Frequency Massage System ensures best skin

comfort during epilation.

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an

upward direction. When epilating behind the

knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

D Underarm and bikini line epilation

For this specific application, the sensitive area

cap (8) has been developed as an optional

attachment to be placed on the epilation head

(2). Especially during the first applications these

areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore,

we recommend that you select speed «I» for

the first few epilation processes.

With repeated usage the pain sensation will

diminish. For more comfort, ensure that the hair

is at the optimum length of 0,5–5 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 using

irritating substances such as deodorants with

For removing any unwanted hair from the face

or other sensitive areas, use the facial cap (9)

as an optional attachment to be placed on the

epilation head (2). For the first few usages, we

recommend that you select speed «I» in order

to get used to epilation in sensitive areas.

Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the

skin thoroughly with a disinfecting toner con-

taining alcohol. When epilating the face, stretch

the skin with one hand and slowly guide the

epilator with your other hand in the direction of

the switch against the hair growth.

F Cleaning the epilation head

1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (12):

Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly

clean the tweezers from the rear side of the

epilator head with the brush dipped into alcohol.

While doing so, turn the tweezer element

manually. This cleaning method ensures best

hygienic conditions for the epilation head.

2 Cleaning under running water:

After each wet usage, clean the appliance

under running water. Remove the cap and hold

the appliance with the epilation head under hot

running water. Then press the release button

(6) to remove the epilation head. Shake the ap-

pliance and the epilation head to remove excess

water and leave both parts to thoroughly dry

out before re-assembling.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal from the root can lead

to 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 con-

siderably 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

96271484_SE7-979_MN_S6-84.indd 1196271484_SE7-979_MN_S6-84.indd 11 04.11.13 09:0704.11.13 09:0712

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.

The exfoliation brush (10a) has been developed

for full body usage, especially for legs, arms and

décolletage. It has not been designed for usage

in the face. The gentle brushing action with more

than 3000 micro-vibrations per minute effectively

removes dry skin cells for a visibly improved skin

You can use the exfoliation brush on a weekly

basis on dry or wet skin during your shower

However, when using it in the bathtub, do not

immerse it fully in water since this will not provide

optimal exfoliation results.

Using the brush on wet skin provides 4 times

better exfoliation results than a manually applied

cosmetic exfoliation product alone.

For best exfoliation results, extra comfort and a

pampering experience, we recommend to use

the brush on wet skin with your preferred body

scrub or shower gel.

Click the exfoliation brush (10a) onto to the brush

Click the brush adapter onto the appliance.

A Select speed «I» for sensitive skin areas, speed

«II» for normal skin.

B Slowly guide the exfoliation brush in circular

movements over your skin to gently refine it.

Avoid holding the brush on the same skin area

for prolonged time. Do not use the exfoliation

The regular use of the exfoliation brush (e.g.

once a week) helps minimizing the risk of in-

grown hairs: Dead skin cells are removed so

that fine, re-growing hairs can easily get

through to the skin surface. We recommend

that you exfoliate at least 1–2 days before you

C Cleaning the exfoliation brush

After use, rinse the exfoliation brush under

If needed, you may use some liquid soap to

thoroughly clean it.

Shake the brush to remove excess water and

Attach the protective cover (10b) before storing

D Replacing the exfoliation brush

With weekly use, we recommend that you

replace the brush unit (10a) after 12 months.

Brush refills (ref. no. 79 Spa) are available from

your retailer or Braun Service Centres or via
