Push the on/off button (4) to switch on (speed 1).
Push a second time to switch to speed 2. Push one more time to turn off the appliance.
The SensoSmartTM light (3b) shines red when you apply too much pressure.
Push and hold the on/off switch at least 3 seconds to activate the travel lock. A beep confirms that the switch is locked. To unlock, push and hold 3 to 5 seconds. You can also unlock the switch by connecting the appliance to the mains.
The epilation head (2) is equipped with different caps (1, 7 or 8 depending on model). Choose the cap according to your needs:
Skin contact cap (1): provides a close skin contact and adapts to all body areas. Whenever the SensoSmartTM light shines red, this is to remind you not to press too hard.
Massage cap (7): can be used instead of the skin contact cap (1). It stimulates the skin to make the epilation process more comfortable.
Always stretch your skin while epilating. Hold the appliance at a right angle (90°) against your skin and guide it in a slow, continuous motion against the hair growth in the direction of the switch.
Use on legs:
Epilate your legs in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight. Keep your leg stretched out straight when removing hair in the area behind the knee
.
Use on underarm and bikini zone:
Since these areas are sensitive to pain, start with speed 1. With repeated usage, the pain sensation will diminish. Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residues (like deodorant). When epilating the underarm, keep your arm raised up and guide the appliance in different directions in order to catch all hairs that might grow in various directions.
Combines epilation and shaving to help getting used to hair removal from the root. It has been designed for wet usage on legs only. Always apply shave foam or gel on your wet skin when using the beginner cap.
In the beginning phase (first 4 weeks), use the epilator with the beginner cap once a week to epilate and shave. Take special care on bony, uneven skin areas in order to avoid injuries caused by the blades. Between usages, rinse off the foam built up on the beginner cap.
After 4 weeks, you will be used to hair removal and can switch to epilation using the skin contact (1) or massage cap (7). If you want to continue to use the beginner cap, make sure to replace it after 12 usages (or in case the blade shows signs of wear, kinks, or damage). Replacement caps (reference #771WD) are available from the retailer where the appliance was bought, from Braun Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com.
Regularly cleaning the epilation head ensures good hygienic conditions. First remove the cap used (1, 7 or 8) and rinse it under running water. To remove the epilation head, press the release button (5).
Dry: Thoroughly clean the tweezers element using the cleaning brush.
Wet: After each wet usage (especially with gel), clean the epilation head under running water. During cleaning, turn on the epilator for a few seconds. Re-attach one of the caps only when the epilation head is completely dry.
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to in-grown hairs 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 from 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 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 minimize 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), varicose veins, around moles, reduced immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud's disease, haemophilia, immune deficiency or candida.
The shaver head (9) is designed for a fast and close shave of legs, underarms and bikini line, contour trimming and cutting hair to 5 mm length. Use the shaver head only on dry skin and with speed II.
