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

Please read the use instructions carefully and thoroughly before using the appliance.

Braun Silk-épil SoftPerfection 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. With the innovative SoftLift® tips and the unique arrangement of tweezers it provides an extra close epilation for perfectly smooth skin, allowing to remove hairs as short as 0.5 mm as well as flat lying hairs. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble.

The massaging rollers clip ① makes the epilation ultra gentle. Its pulsating movement stimulates and relaxes the skin to offset the pulling sensation.

• 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.

- Before use, check whether your voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the transformer. Always use the country-specific 12 V transformer plug supplied with the product.

General information on epilation

Silk-épil is designed to epilate hair on legs, but use tests monitored by dermatologists have revealed that you can also epilate the underarm and the bikini line.

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 or immune deficiency.

Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we recommend that you either shave first and epilate the shorter re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.

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.

How to epilate

• Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.

• Keep in mind that epilation is more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm (see section «Some useful tips»).

• Before starting, thoroughly clean the epilation head ②

• Plug the cord connector into the socket and plug the transformer plug ⑦ into an electrical outlet.

1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch ④ to setting «2»

$$ \begin{array}{l} (\ll 2 \gg = \text { normal speed }, \ \ll 1 \gg = \text { reduced speed }). \ \end{array} $$

2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs.

For optimum performance hold the appliance at a right angle (90°) against your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous movement without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch. The SoftLift® tips will make sure that even flat lying hair is lifted and removed thoroughly at the root.

As hair can grow in different directions, it may also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve optimum results.

Both rollers of the massaging rollers clip should always be kept in contact with the skin in order to stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation.

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

Please be aware that especially at the beginning these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish. For more comfort, ensure that the hair is at the optimum length of 2–5 mm.

Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residue (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.

Cleaning the epilation head

5 After epilating, unplug the appliance and clean the epilation head:
Remove the clip and clean it with the brush.

6 To clean the tweezer element, use the cleaning brush dipped into alcohol. Turn the product around and clean the tweezers with the brush while turning the barrel manually.

7 Remove the epilation head by pressing the release buttons ③ on the left and right and pull it off. Give the top of the housing a quick clean with the brush. Place the epilation head ② and clip back on the housing.
