We hope you thoroughly enjoy your new Silk·épil. Please read the use instructions carefully and completely before using the appliance. Braun Silk·épil EverSoft has been designed to make the removal of un- wanted hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes your hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth for weeks. The high-precision epilation head with its unique arrangement of tweezers and the integrated feed-in geometry ensures an efficient epila- tion and removes even hair as short as 0.5 mm at the root. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble. Warning

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

• Keep the appliance dry.

• This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical or mental capabilities, unless they are given supervision by a person responsible for their safety. In general, we recommend that you keep the appliance out of reach of 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.

• 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 remove hair on legs, but it can also be used on all sensitive areas like forearms, the underarm or the bikini line. All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort or 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.

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 com- fortable when the hair is at the op- timal length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.). If hairs are longer, we recommend to pre-cut to this length. 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 peel- ings 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.
