Braun Silk-epil 7 7381 WD User Manual page 8

• The pivoting caps automatically adapt to
the contour of your skin.
• Guide the appliance in a slow, continu-
ous 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 direc-
tions 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 Efficiency 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
head (8) has been developed. Thanks to its
specific design adapted to the contours of
these areas, it provides a gentle and
thorough 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 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 deo-
dorants with alcohol.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely
event of the appliance overheating, it may
happen that the red low charge light shines
permanently for 8 seconds and then the
appliance turns off automatically. In this case,
turn the switch back to the position «0» and
let the appliance cool down.
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:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance
under running water.
Remove the cap. Hold the appliance under
hot running water. Then press the release
button (6) to remove the epilation head.
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.
