Proceed as follows:

against the direction of hair growth,

Shaving and styling the underarm and
bikini area
In these sensitive areas, make sure that
you always shave on stretched skin in
order to avoid injuries (B). Please take
special care if the skin surface is uneven
or provided with skin tags. Make sure not
to touch them with the long hair trimmer.
Shaving the underarm and bikini area:
Always stretch your skin when shaving.
Bikini area styling:
For trimming precise lines and contours,
lock the long hair trimmer by sliding the
TrimLock to the position « » (C1).
To trim hair to a uniform length, lock the
long hair trimmer and place the bikini
zone trim attachment (7) onto the shaver
head (C2). For optimum results, move the
appliance slowly against the direction of
hair growth.
When you are finished
After shaving, you may want to smooth
on a little body cream or lotion. However,
avoid using irritating substances like
deodorants with alcohol right away.
Cleaning
Cleaning the shaver head with the
brush (D1)
• Press the release buttons (1e) to
remove the shaver head. Tap the
bottom of the shaver head gently on a
flat surface (not on the foil).
• Brush out the cutter block and the
inside of the shaver head. However, do
not clean the shaver foil with the brush
as this may damage the foil.
Cleaning the shaver head under
running water (D2)
• Press the release buttons to remove
the shaver head.
• Rinse the shaver head and the cutter
block separately under warm running
water. A natural based soap may
also be used provided it contains no
particles or abrasive substances.
Rinse off all foam.
• Leave the cutter block and the shaver
foil to dry separately.
How to clean and maintain the
exfoliation attachment
To clean the exfoliation attachment (6),
first remove it (E), then thoroughly brush
out the exfoliation pad (6a). From time to
time, you may also clean it with soapy
water. Let it dry before using it again.
Keeping your Braun Silk·épil
in top shape
• The shaving parts need to be
lubricated regularly every 3 months (F).
If you clean the shaver head under
running water, lubricate it after each
cleaning.
Apply some light machine oil or
vaseline to the shaver foil and the
metal parts of the long hair trimmer.
Then remove the shaver head and also
apply a tiny amount of vaseline as
shown in picture section (F).
• The shaver foil and the cutter block are
precision parts that wear out with time.
To maintain optimum shaving perform-
ance, replace your foil and cutter block
when you notice a reduced shaving
performance.
• Do not use the shaver head with a
damaged shaving foil.
