How to operate the appliance

Pressing the lock key (4a) turn the switch (4) clock-wise. You can select speed «I» or «II». The SensoSmartTM light (3) shines as long as the appliance is switched on, thus providing good visibi-lity of fine hairs. When you apply too much pressure, the SensoSmartTM light signals red. To remove the epilation head (2), press the release button (6). To change caps, press their lateral ribs and pull off.

Epilation

Epilation 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 dis-comfort experienced in the beginning will decrease considerably with repeated use as the skin adapts to the process. 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 moisturizing cream after epilation. Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is between 0.5–5 mm long. If hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and let the hair grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.

Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the appliance.

How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with a cap (1a or 1b).

Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II» for efficient epilation.
Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make sure that the epilation area is in close contact with your skin. Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous move-ment 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 optimal results. The massage cap (1a) ensures best skin comfort during epilation. If you are used to the sensation of epilation, you may replace the massage cap with the skin contact cap (1b) which provides a closer skin contact and an improved adaptation to all body areas. Whenever the SensoSmart light shines red, this is to remind you not to press too hard.
Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.
Underarm and bikini line epilation
In sensitive areas, we recommend using the skin contact cap (1b). Especially during the first application these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed «I» for the first few times.
With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish. Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residues (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 sub-stances such as deodorants with alcohol.
Facial epilation
For removing any unwanted hair from the face or other sensitive areas, use the facial cap (8) as an optional attachment to be placed on the epilation head (2). For the first few usages, we recommend that you select speed «I» in order to get used to epilation in sensitive areas. Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning the skin thoroughly with a disinfecting toner con-taining alcohol. When epilating the face, stretch the skin with one hand and slowly guide the epila-tor with your other hand in the direction of the switch.
Cleaning the epilation head
1. Cleaning with the cleaning brush (11):
  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.
2. Cleaning under running water:
  After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water. Remove the cap and hold the appliance with the epilation head under hot run-ning water. Then press the release button (6) to remove the epilation head. Shake the appliance and the epilation head to remove excess water and leave both parts to thoroughly dry out before
  re-assembling.

General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to 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.

Body treatment

The exfoliation brush (9a) helps avoid ingrown hairs by removing the dead skin cells. The deep massage pad (9c) provides a noticeable vibration and helps improve the skin appearance.
You may use the brush /pad alternatively on a weekly basis on wet skin during your shower routine with your preferred body scrub or shower gel. The deep massage pad may even be used more frequently with body lotion or massage oil.
When using the appliance in a bathtub, do not immerse it fully in water since this will not provide optimum results.
How to use

Click the adapter (9) provided with brush or pad (9a/ 9c) onto the appliance.
Slowly guide the appliance in circular movements over your skin to gently refine it. Avoid holding it on the same skin area for prolonged time. Do not use it on your face. For best results, use the exfo-liation brush at least 1–2 days before epilating.
Cleaning
After use, rinse the brush/pad (9a/9c) under running water. If needed, you may use some liquid soap to thoroughly clean them. You may remove the silicone cap from the deep massage pad (9c) in order to make sure that there is no water left inside the cap. Before storing the exfoliation brush, you may attach the protective cap (9b).
Replacement
With weekly use, we recommend that you replace the brush/pad after 12 months. Refills (ref. no. 79 Spa) are available from your retailer or Braun Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com.

How to use the shaver head

The shaver head (10) is designed for a fast and close shave of legs, underarms and bikini line, con-tour trimming and cutting hair to 5 mm length. With the shaver head attached, only use the appliance on dry skin and with speed setting «II».

Shaving: select « ».
Contour trimming: select « ».
Trimming hair to 5 mm length: select « and put on the trimmer cap (a).
Cleaning: Do not clean the shaver foil (b) with the brush as this may damage the foil.
The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly every 3 months.
Replace the foil frame (b) and cutter block (c) when you notice a reduced shaving performance. Replacement parts can be obtained from your retailer or Braun Customer Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com. Do not shave with a damaged foil.
