Charging light (5)
Flashing green: charging
Green: fully charged
Yellow: 15 minutes charge left
Flashing yellow: 5 minutes charge left- Once fully charged, use the appliance cordless. Operation time is 50 minutes when it is used within 24 hours after charging. Recharge it when the yellow light comes on or when the motor has stopped completely. For best per-formance, always use a fully charged appliance.
- Wet usage might reduce the operation time. We recommend that you recharge the appliance after each use.
- The best temperature range for charging, using and storing the appli-ance is between 59 °F and 95 °F. In case the temperature is far beyond this range, the charging time might be longer whereas the cordless operation time might be reduced.
At the end of its lifetime, the recharge-able battery can be replaced at an
authorized Braun Service Center.
How to operate the appliance
Press one of the lock keys (4a) and turn the switch (4) clockwise to position
«I» or “II». The SensoSmart™ light (3) shines as long as the appliance is
switched on, thus providing good visibility of fine hairs. When you apply too
much pressure, the SensoSmartlM 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 discomfort 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 moisture cream after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is between 2 and 5 mm
(0.02 – 0.2 in). If hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and
epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you
can trim the hairs to 5 mm length.
Fine, regrowing hairs 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-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin
layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
Wet usage: The appliance can be used on wet skin, even under running
water. Make sure that the skin is very moist in order to achieve optimum
gliding condi-tions for the appliance.
How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with a cap (1 a or
1 b).
-
Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation, speed «II» for an 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 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 appli-ance in different directions to achieve optimal results. The massage cap (1a) ensures best skin comfort during epila-tion. If you are used to the sensation of epilation, you may replace the massage cap with the skin contact cap (1 b) which provides a closer skin contact and an improved adaptation to all body areas. Whenever the SensoSmartTM 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 (1 b).
Please be aware that especially at the beginning, these areas are particularly pain-sensitive. Therefore, we recom-mend that you select speed setting «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). When epilating the under-arm, 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. -
Facial epilation
For removing any unwanted hair from the face, use the epilation head (2) with the (8) facial cap attached. For the first few usages, we recommend that you select speed setting ol» in order to get used to the epilation sensation in those sensitive areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend clean-ing the skin with alcohol to promote good hygiene. When epilating the face, stretch the skin with one hand and slowly guide the epilator with your other hand the direction of the switch. -
Cleaning the epilation head
Regular cleaning ensures better per-formance.
a. Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly clean the epilator head from the
rear side 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 appli-ance under running water. Remove the
cap. Hold the appliance with the epila-tion head under hot running water. Then
press the release button (6) to remove the epilation head. Thoroughly shake
both, the epilation head and the appli-ance to make sure that remaining water
can drip out. Leave both parts to dry. Before reattaching, make sure that they
are completely dry.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to in-grown 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 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 the repeated use of Silk.epil.
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, Candida or immune deficiency.
How to use the shaver head
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. With the
shaver head attached, use the appliance only on dry skin and with speed
setting «Ⅱ».
a. Shaving: select « ».
b. Contour trimming: select « ».
c. Trimming hair to 5 mm length: select « » and put on the trimmer cap
(I).
d. Cleaning: Do not clean the shaver foil (II) with the brush as this may
damage the foil.
e. The shaving parts need to be lubri-cated regularly every 3 months.
f. Replace the foil frame (II) and cutter block (III) when you notice a
reduced shaving performance. Replacements parts can be obtained from your

damaged foil.
