Important

• For hygienic reasons, do not share this appliance with other persons.

• 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 ingrown hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort or reddening of the skin), depending on the condition of the skin and hair type. 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.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair has the optimal length of 2 - 5mm (0.08-0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we recommend that you precut the hair to this length before epilating.

Fine hair which regrows might not grow up to the skin surface. The regular use of massage sponges (e.g. after showering) or exfoliation peelings help 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.

Epilation (see picture section A)

• Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
  Before use, make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and

provided with the massaging rollers attachment.

To turn on the appliance, slide up the on/off switch (4):

Setting I: extra gentle

Setting II: extra efficient

When switched on, the switch light illuminates the area to be epilated.

Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For optimal performance, hold the appliance at a right angle (90^) against your skin and guide it without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch. The massaging rollers (1) stimulate the skin before and after the hair is pulled out for an extra gentle epilation experience.

Leg epilation

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

Underarm and bikini line epilation

Please be aware that especially at the beginning these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you start with switch setting I. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish.

Before epilating, thoroughly clean the area to remove residue (like deodorant). Carefully dab the area dry with a towel. When epilating the underarm, keep your arm raised up and guide the appliance in different directions.

Cleaning

After epilating, unplug the appliance, remove the massaging rollers and clean the epilation head (2). Thoroughly clean the tweezer element with the cleaning brush dipped into alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn the tweezer element manually.

To remove the epilation head, press the release buttons (3) on the left and right and pull it off. After cleaning, place the epilation head and the massaging rollers back on the housing.

Shaving (see picture section B)

The shaver head (7) is designed for a fast and close shave of legs, underarms and bikini line, contour trimming and cutting hair to 5mm length. Use the shaver head with speed II.

For cutting hair to 5mm length, put on the trimmer cap (a).

Cleaning

Tap the shaver foil frame (b) on a flat surface. Do not clean it with the brush as this may damage the foil.

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

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

Subject to change without notice.
