Frequently Asked Questions - SILKEPIL 3 3170 N SOLO BRAUN

How to use the Silképil 3 epilator?

Make sure the skin is dry and free of cream. Plug in the device, slide the switch to position 1 or 2. Hold the device at 90° to the skin and guide it slowly in the opposite direction of hair growth. For short hairs, rub the skin to straighten them.

How to clean the epilation head?

Unplug the device. Remove the accessory if present and clean it with the brush. For the tweezers, use the small brush dipped in alcohol while turning the cylinder by hand. Remove the head by pressing the ejection buttons and clean the top of the body with the brush.

What is the ideal hair length for epilation?

The optimal length is 2 to 5 mm. If the hairs are longer, it is recommended to shave them first and epilate after 1 to 2 weeks of regrowth.

Can the epilator be used in the shower?

No, the device must never get wet. It is designed for use on dry skin only.

How to reduce pain during epilation?

Use the 4-direction pain-reducing accessory which stimulates and relaxes the skin with pulsations. Epilate in the evening so that redness disappears overnight. Apply a moisturizing cream after epilation.

Can I use the epilator on the bikini line and armpits?

Yes, the epilator is suitable for these areas. Make sure the hairs are 2 to 5 mm long. Clean the area well before epilation and avoid alcohol-based deodorants afterwards.

What to do in case of ingrown hairs?

To prevent ingrown hairs, regularly use a horsehair glove or exfoliate the skin to remove dead cells. This allows fine hairs not to get trapped under the skin.

How to change the accessories?

To change the pain-reducing accessory or EfficiencyPro, simply remove it from the epilation head. To remove the epilation head itself, press the ejection buttons located on each side.

What is the warranty of the device?

Braun offers a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing and material defects. For any claim, return the device with the certificate to an authorized Braun service center.

How to recycle the device at end of life?

Do not dispose of the device with household waste. Drop it off at an appropriate recycling point in accordance with local regulations.

USER MANUAL SILKEPIL 3 3170 N SOLO BRAUN

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

In the following we would like to familiarise you with the appliance and provide some useful information about epilation. Please read the use instructions carefully and thoroughly before using the appliance.

Braun Silk-épil SoftPerfection Solo 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 high-precision epilation head ② comes with two different attachments:

The 4-way moving pain softener makes the epilation ultra gentle. Its pulsating movement stimulates and relaxes the skin to offset the pulling sensation.
The EfficiencyPro clip provides a thorough epilation that is now even faster. Ensuring maximum skin contact and the optimum usage position, it allows removal of even more hairs per stroke.

Warning

• Keep the appliance dry.
• Keep the appliance out of the 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-epil 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 - 5mm (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 ⑥ into the socket ⑤ and plug the transformer plug ⑦ into an electrical outlet.

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

(«2» = normal speed,

1 = reduced speed).

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 4-way moving pain softener ① should always be kept in contact with the skin, allowing the pulsating movements to stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation. If you are used to epilation and look for a faster way to efficiently remove hair, please use the EfficiencyPro clip ⑥ . Placed on the epilation head instead of the 4- way moving pain softener, it allows maximum skin contact and ensures optimum usage so that more hairs are removed in one stroke.

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: If you have used one of the attachments or first remove it 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 pres-sing 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 and the 4-way moving pain softener back on the housing.

Subject to change without notice.

This product conforms to the EMC-Directive 89/336/EEC and to the Low Voltage Regulation 73/23 EEC.

At the end of the product's useful life, please dispose of it at appropriate collection points provided in your country.
