A Epilation

Shaving

Make sure the epilation head (2) is clean.
Depending on model, attach one of the caps:

Massage roller cap (1): for best comfort
Skin contact cap (7): for increased efficiency

Dry usage: Your skin must be free from grease or cream.

Wet usage: Make sure your skin is well wetted to achieve optimum gliding conditions.

Always stretch your skin while epilating.
Hold the appliance at a right angle (90°) and guide it in a slow, continuous motion against the hair growth in the direction of the switch.

Legs: When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.

Sensitive areas: First clean and carefully dry sensitive areas to remove residues (like deodorant). Use speed 1. When epilating the underarm, keep your arm raised up and guide the appliance in different directions.

Epilation tips

If you have not used an epilator before, it may take some time for your skin to adapt to epilation. In the beginning, epilate on a weekly basis to help reduce the discomfort.
First time users should epilate in the evening so that 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 0.5–3 mm long. If hairs are longer, we recommend that you shorten them.
Exfoliation avoids ingrown hairs and provides optimum conditions for epilation.

Cleaning the epilation head

After use, turn off the appliance and clean the epilation head:

Remove the cap (1, 7). Brush out the tweezers while turning the tweezer element manually. Press the release button (5) to take off the epilation head. Gently tap it to remove hairs from inside the head.

If a thorough clean is needed (e.g. after a wet usage with gel), hold the epilation head under hot running water. Shake off remaining water and re- attach in dry condition.

General information on epilation

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 epila tion 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.

B Shaving

The shaver head (8) 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 2. Do not shave with a damaged foil.

a Shaving: Select .
b Contour trimming: Select .
c Cutting hair to 5 mm length: Select and put on the trimmer cap (I).
d Cleaning
Tap the shaver foil (II) on a flat surface.
Do not clean it with the brush as this may damage the foil.
e The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly every 3 months.
f Replace the foil frame (II) and cutter block (III) when you notice a reduced shaving performance.

C Body treatment

Body treatment

The exfoliation brush (9) helps avoid ingrown hair by removing dead skin cells.
It also improves epilating results when used 1-2 days before epilation.
The massage pad (10) helps improve the skin appearance.
You may use the exfoliation brush/massage pad on a weekly basis on wet skin during your shower routine with body scrub or shower gel. The 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

Attach the brush adapter (11) provided with brush (9). Slowly guide the appliance in a circular motion 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.

Cleaning

After use, rinse the brush under running water. If needed, you may use some liquid soap for more thorough clean. The silicone cap on the massage pad (10) needs to be removed to make sure there is no more water left inside. Before storing the exfoliation brush, attach the protective cap.

With weekly use, we recommend replacing the brush after 12 months.

Disposal

The products contain batteries and recyclable electronic waste. To protect the environment, do not dispose of them in the household waste, but take them to appropriate local collection points.
