Frequently Asked Questions - Silkepil 5 5780 BRAUN

How should I prepare my skin before the first epilation?

Before first use, ensure your skin is dry and free of oil or cream residue. Use the cooling glove (frozen for at least 2 hours) to soothe the skin. Apply the cold glove for about 30 seconds on the area to be epilated, then epilate immediately.

What hair length is ideal for epilation?

The ideal length is 2 to 5 mm. If hair is longer, shave it first with the shaving head, then epilate regrowth a few days later.

How do I clean the epilation head?

You can clean the epilation head in two ways: with a brush (dipped in alcohol for optimal hygiene) or under running water. For water cleaning, remove the attachment, rinse the appliance under water, then remove the head with the ejection button and let it dry completely before reassembling.

Can I use the epilator in the shower?

The appliance can be cleaned under running water, but it is not designed for use in the shower. Always use it on dry skin. For cleaning, unplug it first.

What should I do in case of skin irritation after epilation?

Mild irritation, redness, or itching is normal, especially the first few times. Apply a moisturizing cream. If irritation persists for more than 36 hours, consult a doctor. Regular use reduces discomfort.

How do I change accessories?

To remove an accessory (such as the massage rollers), press on each side and pull it off. To change the epilation head, press the ejection button (5) on the appliance.

How do I use the shaving head?

The shaving head (9) allows quick shaving. Select shave mode (♂) for shaving, contour trim mode (θ) for lines, or 5 mm trim mode (⬤) with the trimmer attachment. Use only on dry skin and with speed set to II.

Can I use the epilator on my face?

Yes, with the face attachment (8) provided. Clean the skin with alcohol before epilation for better hygiene. Stretch the skin with one hand and move the epilator slowly, switch facing down.

How does the cooling glove work?

Place the gel pack in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Insert it into the glove. Apply the cold transparent side to the area to be epilated for about 30 seconds (no more than 2 minutes on the same area). Then epilate immediately. Do not use if the pack is damaged.

What if the appliance stops working?

First check the mains connection. If the problem persists, contact an Authorized Braun Service Center (call 0 800 944 802 in France). The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects but not normal wear (foil, cutter block).

Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using your Braun Silk-épil 5.

Please read the use instructions carefully and completely before using the appliance and keep them for future reference.

Braun Silk-épil 5 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. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble.

Important

• For hygienic reasons, do not share this appliance with other persons.
• This appliance is provided with a special cord set with an integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or manipulate any part of it. Otherwise there is risk of electric shock. For electric specifications, please see printing on the special cord set.
• This appliance is suitable for cleaning under running tap water. Warning: Detach the appliance from the power supply before cleaning any of the heads with water.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. 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 danger of injury as well as to prevent blockage or damage to the appliance.

General information on epilation

All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to in-growing hair and 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 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. 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 first shave (see section B) and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs a week later.

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.

Preparing for use

• Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
• Before use, always make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with a cap (1).
• To change caps, press their lateral ribs and pull off.
• To change heads, press the release button (5).

Cooling glove for optional skin cooling

For the first few epilations or if you have sensitive skin, you can use the cooling glove (10), recommended by dermatologists to help reduce possible skin irritation.

• Ensure that the gel pack has been in the deep freezer ( ^*** ) for at least 2 hours (for convenience you can store the gel packs in the freezer).
• Insert the gel pack underneath the cooling glove's transparent foil. Use only with glove.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove on your leg.
• Start cooling for approximately 30 seconds, longer if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immediately as described below.
• Repeat cooling and epilating until completion.
• While epilating, please ensure your skin is dry.

Important: Apply cooling glove to the same area for no longer than 2 minutes. Keep away from sunlight. Do not use gel pack when damaged. Dispose of in household waste. Do not use if you are hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or if your skin suffers from sensory disturbances, when suffering from cardiac diseases or arterial circulatory disorders.

A How to epilate

The epilation head (2) features Close-Grip Technology to ensure extra efficiency especially with short hairs: The 40 tweezers always keep close contact to the skin to remove hairs as short as grain of sand (0.5 mm). The pivoting head perfectly adapts to the body contours for maximum thoroughness. The high-frequency massaging rollers (1a) stimulate your skin effectively for an extra gentle epilation.

1 How to operate the appliance

Turn the on/off switch (4) to operate the appliance:

Turn to position «I» = extra gentle Turn to position «II» = extra efficient As long as the appliance is switched on, the light (3) illuminates the area to be epilated. This gives you a better control for improved epilation efficiency.

2 How to guide the appliance

• Always stretch your skin when epilating.
- Always make sure that the epilation area is in close contact with your skin.
- The pivoting head automatically adapts to the contours of your skin.
- 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 pulsating movements of the massaging rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation.

- If you are used to the sensation of epilation, you may replace the massage cap with the skin contact cap (1b) which provides a closer skin contact and an improved adaptation to all body areas.

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

For this specific application, the sensitive area cap (7) has been developed as an optional attachment to be placed on the epilation head (2).

Please be aware that especially at the beginning, these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recommend you start with switch setting «I».

With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish. 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 alcohol.

5 Facial epilation

Place the facial cap (8) onto the epilation head (2) and your Silk-épil is perfectly suited for conveniently removing any unwanted hair from the face or other sensitive areas.

Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the skin with alcohol to promote good hygiene. 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.

6 Cleaning the epilation head

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance. Regular cleaning ensures better performance.

a Brush cleaning:

Remove the cap (1) 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.

b Cleaning under running water:

Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with the epilation head under running water.

Then press the release button (5) to remove the epilation head (2).

Thoroughly shake both, the epilation head and the appliance to make sure that remaining water can drip out. Leave both parts to dry. Before reattaching, make sure that they are completely dry.

B How to use the shaver head

The shaver head (9) is designed for a fast and close shave of legs, underarms and bikini line, contour trimming and cutting hair to 5 mm length. With the shaver head attached, use the appliance only on dry skin and with speed setting «II».

c Trimming hair to 5 mm length: select «θ» and put on the trimmer cap (l).

d Cleaning: Do not clean the shaver foil (II) with the brush as this may damage the foil.

e The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly every 3 months.

f Replace the foil frame (II) and cutter block (III) when you notice a reduced shaving performance. Replacements parts can be obtained from your retailer or Braun Customer Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com. Do not shave with a damaged foil.
