• 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.

• At the end of its lifetime, the recharge- able battery can be replaced at an authorized Braun Service Centre. 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 SensoSmart

light (3) shines as long as the appliance is switched on, thus providing good visibility of fine hairs. When you apply too much pressure, the SensoSmart

light signals red. To remove the epilation head, press the release button (6). To change caps (1a), (1b) or (8), press their lateral ribs and pull off. A Epilation Epilation 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 advis- able to epilate in the evening, so that any possible reddening can disappear over- night. 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 recom- mend that you shave first and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 5 mm length. 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 sur- face. 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). 1 Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation and speed «II» for an efficient epilation. 2 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. 91392809_SES_9890_9880_9870_9700_JUNO_S6-124.indd 1291392809_SES_9890_9880_9870_9700_JUNO_S6-124.indd 12 30.05.17 08:2630.05.17 08:26 CSS APPROVED Effective Date 2Jun2017 GMT - Printed 30Aug2017 Page 12 of 12413 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 with the skin contact cap (1b) which provides a closer contact to your skin and an improved adaptation to all body areas. Whenever the SensoSmart

light shines red, this is to remind you not to press too hard. 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 In sensitive areas, we recommend using the skin contact cap (1b). Please be aware that especially at the beginning, these areas are particularly pain-sensitive. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed setting «I» 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 deo- dorants with alcohol. 5 Facial epilation For removing any unwanted hair from the face, use the facial cap (8) as an optional attachment to be placed on the epilation head (2). For the first few usages, we recommend that you select speed setting «I» in order to get used to the epilation sensation in those 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 the direction of the switch. 6 Cleaning the epilation head Regular cleaning ensures better per- formance. a Brush cleaning: 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. b Cleaning under running water: 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. General information on epilation 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. This 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 irrita- tion, we recommend that you contact your physician. In general, the skin reaction and the sensation of pain tend to diminish consid- erably 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 epila- tion head before each use will minimize the risk of infection. 91392809_SES_9890_9880_9870_9700_JUNO_S6-124.indd 1391392809_SES_9890_9880_9870_9700_JUNO_S6-124.indd 13 30.05.17 08:2630.05.17 08:26 CSS APPROVED Effective Date 2Jun2017 GMT - Printed 30Aug2017 Page 13 of 12414 If you have any doubts about using this appliance, please consult your physician.
