Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using your Braun Silk-épil 7.

Please read the use instructions carefully before using the appliance and keep them for future reference.

Braun Silk-épil 7 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. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble.

Important

• For hygienic reasons, do not share this appliance with other people.
• 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.
• This appliance is suitable for cleaning under running tap water. Warning: Detach the appliance from the power supply before cleaning the head with water.
• This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are given supervision by a person responsible for their safety. Keep the appliance out of reach of children in order to make sure that they do not play with it.
• 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.
• Never use the epilation head without cap.

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 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.

Description

2 Epilation head
3 «smartlight»
4 Switch with lock keys (4a)

Preparing for use

• Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
• Before use, always make sure that epilation head is clean.
• Always make sure that the epilation head (2) is provided with a cap (1).
• To change caps, press their lateral ribs and pull off.

- To change the head, press the release button (5).

How to epilate

The epilation head (2) features the new Close-Grip Technology to ensure extra efficiency especially with short hairs: The 40 tweezers always keep close contact to the skin to remove hairs as short as grain of sand. Thanks to its pivoting feature, it perfectly adapts to the body contours, for maximum thoroughness.

The High-Frequency Massage System (1a) soothes your skin effectively for an ultra gentle epilation.

The EfficiencyPro cap (1b) for fast epilation ensures maximum skin contact, positioning the tweezers at the optimum position at all times.

1 Turning on

- Press one of the lock keys and turn the switch clockwise to select your preferred speed setting:

«I» = extra gentle

«||» = extra efficient

- The «smartlight» comes on instantly and shines as long as the appliance is switched on. It reproduces an almost daylight condition, thus revealing even the finest hair and giving 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 between the massaging rollers is in contact with your skin.
- The pivoting caps automatically adapt to the contour of 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 optimum results. The pulsating movement of the massaging rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation.
• If you are used to the sensation of epilation and prefer a faster way of removing hair, attach the EfficiencyPro cap (1b) replacing the massage system (1a).

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

For this specific application, the underarm cap (7) has been developed as an optional attachment to be placed on the epilation head (2).

Please be aware that especially in the beginning, these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed setting «l» for the first few epilation processes.

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 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 deodorants with alcohol.

5 Cleaning the epilation head

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance. Regular cleaning ensures better performance.

a Brush cleaning:

Remove the cap 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.

For electric specifications, please see printing on the special cord set. The special cord set automatically adapts to any worldwide AC voltage.

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.
