Frequently Asked Questions - Silk-épil 5 625 BRAUN

How to use the Braun Silk-épil 5 625 epilator?

Stretch the skin, move the appliance slowly against the direction of hair growth without pressure. Use speed I (ultra gentle) for first times or sensitive areas, and speed II (ultra efficient) for fast epilation.

What is the difference between the two speeds?

Position I is the ultra gentle mode for more progressive epilation, ideal for beginners or sensitive areas. Position II is the ultra efficient mode for faster epilation.

How to clean the epilation head?

Unplug the device. You can clean the head under running water or with the brush dipped in alcohol. For water cleaning, remove the attachment, rinse the head under water, then press the release button to remove the head. Shake and let dry before reassembling.

Can I use the appliance 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 without cream.

How to avoid ingrown hairs?

Regularly use a massage sponge or loofah to exfoliate the skin, which helps release fine hairs. Epilate against the direction of hair growth and avoid shaving between sessions.

How often should I lubricate the shaving head?

The shaving parts must be lubricated every three months to maintain optimal performance. Use a suitable light oil.

What if the shaving foil is damaged?

Do not use the appliance with a damaged foil. Replace the foil and cutter block as soon as you notice a drop in performance. Replacement parts are available at Braun retailers or authorized service centers.

Is the appliance under warranty?

Yes, Braun offers a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover normal wear (foil, cutter block) or damage due to improper use.

Can I use it on underarms and bikini area?

Yes, but these areas are more sensitive. Start with speed I. Clean and dry the area before epilation. After epilation, avoid deodorants containing alcohol.

What if the skin remains irritated after 36 hours?

If signs of irritation persist beyond 36 hours, consult a doctor. Generally, irritation decreases with regular use of the appliance.

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.

Warning

• 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.
• Only use a Braun power supply, type 492 D-□-C.
  • This appliance is suitable for cleaning under running tap water.

Warning: Detach the appli- ance 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.

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

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).

A How to epilate

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.
• 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 (1a) 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

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 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 (7) 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».

a Shaving: select « ♂ ».
b Contour trimming: select « 0».
c Trimming hair to 5 mm length: select «θ» and put on the trimmer cap (I).
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.

Please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life.

Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Centre or at appropriate collection points provided in your country.
