General information

• All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to in-grown hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening of the skin) depending on the condition of the skin and hair. Irritation is a normal reaction and should quickly disappear, but may be stronger when you are removing hair from 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 the appliance.
• 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 minimize 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, Raynaud's disease, haemophilia, Candida or immune deficiency.

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 (5) flashes green to show that the epilator is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light shines permanently. Once fully charged, use the appliance without cord.
• When the charging light flashes red, reconnect the appliance to an electrical outlet via the special cord set to recharge.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of cordless operation time.
• Wet usage might reduce the operation time. We recommend that you recharge the appliance after each use.
• The best temperature range for charging, using and storing the appliance is between 15 °C and 35 °C. In case the temperature is far 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 charging light shines red for 8 seconds and then the appliance turns off automatically. In this case, turn the switch back to the position 0 (off) and let the appliance cool down.

How to operate the appliance

Switch on the appliance by pressing a lock key (4a) and turning the switch (4) clockwise to position «I» or «II». The Smartlight (3) shines as long as the appliance is switched on. This provides better visibility of fine hairs or skin. To remove the epilation head, press the release button (6). To change caps (1a), (1b) or (8), press their lateral ribs and pull off.

Usage of the epilation head (A)

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, you can pre-cut the hairs to 5 mm length using the shaver head with trimmer cap.

- Fine, regrowing hairs 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-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.

- Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.

- Wet usage: The appliance can be used on wet skin, even under running water. Make sure that the skin is very moist in order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the appliance. After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water.

How to epilate

Before use, always make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with a cap (1a or 1b).

Speed selection

Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation and speed «II» for an efficient epilation.

Handling

Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make sure that the epilation area is in contact with 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 optimum results.

The massage cap (1a) ensures best skin comfort during epilation. If you are used to the

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

Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

Sensitive area (e.g. underarm) epilation

• The sensitive cap (8) has been specifically designed for this use. Place it onto the epilation head. Please be aware that especially at the beginning, these areas are particularly pain-sensitive. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed setting «|» for the first few times. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish.
• Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residues like deodorant.
• 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.

Cleaning the epilation head

Regular cleaning ensures better performance.

Brush cleaning (5a):

Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly clean the epilator head from the rear side 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.

Cleaning under running water (5b):

After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water. Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with the epilation head under hot running water. Then press the release button (6) to remove the epilation head. 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.

Usage of the shaver head (B)

The shaver head (9) is designed for a fast and close shave of legs, chest and underarms, trimming and cutting hair. With the shaver head attached, use the appliance only on dry skin and with speed setting «Il».

Shaving (a): select «∅».

Trimming (b): select «θ».

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

Cleaning (d): Remove the shaver head and tap it out. Do not clean the shaver foil (II) with the brush as this may damage the foil.

Lubrication (e): The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly every 3 months.

Replacement of shaving parts (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.
