Children should not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children unless they are older than 8 years and supervised.

When switched on, the appliance must never come in contact with the hair on your head, eyelashes, ribbons, etc. to prevent any dan- ger of injury as well as to prevent blockage or damage to the appli- ance.

Never use the epilation head without a cap.

Be careful when guiding the Smoothing cap (2) over bony areas like the ankles. The inte- grated blade is very sharp and might cause injuries. General information All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to skin irritations (e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening) 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. 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. 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 shave first and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs several days later. 96754508_SE7-751_MN_S6-132.indd 1296754508_SE7-751_MN_S6-132.indd 12 29.04.14 12:0829.04.14 12:08 CSS APPROVED Effective Date 16May2014 GMT - Printed 06Aug2014 Page 12 of 13213 Description 1 Protection cap 2 Smoothing cap (wet usage) 2a Integrated blade 2b Lubrastrip 3 Epilation head 4 SmartLight 5 Switch with lock keys (5a) 6a Charging light 6b Low charge light 7 Non-slip grip 8 Special cord set 9 Release button 10 Epilation cap (wet&dry usage) 11 Epilation cap for sensitive areas (wet&dry usage) 12 Shaver head (dry usage) Charging

• Before use, charge the appliance. For best performance, we recommend that you always use a fully charged appliance. Using the special cord set, connect the appliance to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.

• Charging time is approximately 1 hour.

• The charging light (6a) flashes green (+) to show that the appliance is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light shines permanently. Once fully charged, use the appliance without cord.

• A full charge provides up to 30 minutes of effective usage time.

• When the low charge light (6b) flashes red (–), reconnect the appliance to an electrical outlet to recharge.

• The best environmental temperature for charging, using and storing the appliance is between 15 °C and 35 °C. In case the tem- perature is beyond this range, the charging time might be longer whereas the cordless operation time might be reduced. Overheating protection As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event of the appliance overheating, it may happen that the red low charge light shines permanently for 8 seconds and then the appliance turns off automatically. In this case, turn the switch back (5) to the position «0» and let the appliance cool down. Turning on Press one of the lock keys (5a) and turn the switch clockwise to select your preferred speed setting: «I» = extra gentle «II» = extra efficient The SmartLight comes on instantly and shines as long as the appliance is switched on. A Dual Epilation with the Smoothing cap Dual epilation with the Smoothing cap has been designed and optimized for wet usage with shave gel or foam on legs. If you want to use the Smoothing cap for hair removal in other body areas, please take extra care because of the sharp blades. Skin needs to be stretched during usage. Start-up phase In order to allow your skin to adapt to the new hair removal process, it is most important that you use the appliance once a week during the first month of usage. After 3-4 usages, with every hair being epilated once and the hair re-growth adapted to the new process, you will be able to enjoy long-lasting results as with normal epilation, using the dual epilator every 2-3 weeks. 96754508_SE7-751_MN_S6-132.indd 1396754508_SE7-751_MN_S6-132.indd 13 29.04.14 12:0829.04.14 12:08 CSS APPROVED Effective Date 16May2014 GMT - Printed 06Aug2014 Page 13 of 13214 How to use the Dual Epilator

• Before use, make sure that epilation head (3) is clean. Attach the Smoothing cap (2). For improved handling under wet conditions, you may want to attach the non-slip grip (7).

• Apply shave foam or gel on the wet skin.

• Stretching your skin, guide the appliance in a slow, continuous movement without pressure against the hair growth in the direction of the switch.

• Make sure that the head is guided flat over the skin. Its pivoting head perfectly adapts to the skin contours. It first epilates and then smoothens your skin in one stroke. Thanks to the integrated blade, the Smoothing cap provides increased efficiency. You do not need to go several times over the same area.

• Guide the dual epilator starting from the lower leg in an upward direction. Keep your leg stretched out straight when removing hair in the area behind the knee. Take special care to avoid injuries around the ankles and on other bony areas.

• From time to time, rinse off the foam built up on the Smoothing cap. B Epilation Remove the Smoothing cap (2) and attach the epilation cap (10) or the cap for sensitive areas (11). You may epilate under wet or dry conditions: Wet usage: To achieve best gliding conditions, make sure the skin is very moist. Dry usage: Make sure your skin is dry and free from grease and cream. Leg epilation:

• Stretching your skin, guide the appliance in a slow, continuous movement without pressure against the hair growth in the direction of the switch.

• As hair grows in different directions, it may be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve best results. Epilation in sensitive areas:

• For underarm and bikini line epilation, attach the epilation cap (11) which has been specifically developed for use in sensitive areas.

• Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residues (like deodorant). 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 alcohol.

• Please be aware that especially in the beginning, these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recom- mend that you select speed setting «I» for the first few usages. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish. C Keeping the appliance in top shape a Cleaning with water After each wet usage, thoroughly clean the appliance with water. Remove the Smoothing cap (2) and clean it under warm running water. Hold the appliance with the epilation head under running water and briefly switch it on. Then press the release button (9) to remove the epilation head. Shake the appliance and the epilation head to remove excess water. Remove the non-slip grip and leave all parts to dry. Before reattaching, 96754508_SE7-751_MN_S6-132.indd 1496754508_SE7-751_MN_S6-132.indd 14 29.04.14 12:0829.04.14 12:08 CSS APPROVED Effective Date 16May2014 GMT - Printed 06Aug2014 Page 14 of 13215 make sure all parts are completely dry. After reassembling the epilation head and the Smoothing cap (2), you may attach the protection cap (1) to protect the blade. b Cleaning with the brush If you have used the appliance in dry conditions, it may be sufficient to clean it with the brush. Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the rear side of the epilation 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. c Replacing the Smoothing cap The Smoothing cap (2) is provided with a lubrastrip (2b) which turns white over time to indicate that the blade is becoming dull and that it is time to replace the Smoothing cap. As the lubrastrip is water soluble the Smoothing cap should be stored in a dry environment and never be left in the sink, face down. To ensure maximum performance, replace the Smoothing cap after 12 usages, when the lubrastrip turns white or when the blade shows wear or kinks. For safety reasons, stop using the smoothing cap if it has been dropped and replace it with a new one. Replacement Smoothing caps (Reference # 771 WD) are available from the retailer where the appliance was bought, from Braun Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com. D Using the shaver head The shaver head (12) is designed for a fast and close shave of underarms and bikini line, contour trimming and cutting hair to 5 mm length.
