• Wet usage might reduce the operation time.
  We recommend that you recharge the appliance after each usage.

• The best temperature range for charging, using and storing the appliance is between 59 °F and 95 °F. In case the temperature is far beyond this range, charging might  take longer and the cordless operation time might be reduced.

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  moisturizing cream after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is between 0.5 — 5 mm (0.02 – 0.2 in) 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 attached and provided with the High Frequency Massage System (1).
A Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «ll» for efficient epilation.
B 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 appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results. The High Frequency Massage System ensures best skin comfort during epilation.
C Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.
D Underarm and bikini line epilation
Especially during the first applications these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed «|»  for the first few epilation processes.
With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish. For more comfort, ensure that the hair is at the optimum length of 0.5 -5 mm (0.02 – 0.2 in).
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 substances  such as deodorants with alcohol.
E Cleaning the epilation head

1. Cleaning with the cleaning brush (9):
   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 running 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.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation tips

The exfoliation brush (8a) has been developed for full body usage, especially for legs, arms and décolletage. It has not been designed for usage in the face.
You can use the exfoliation brush on a weekly basis on dry or wet skin during your shower routine. However, when using it in the bathtub, do not immerse it fully in water  since this will not provide optimal exfoliation results.
For best exfoliation results, extra comfort and a pampering experience, we recommend to use the brush on wet skin with your preferred body scrub or shower gel.

How to exfoliate

• Click the exfoliation brush (8a) onto to the brush adapter (8).
• Click the brush adapter onto the appliance.
• Select speed «|» for sensitive skin areas, speed «ll» for normal skin.
• Slowly guide the exfoliation brush in circular movements over your skin to gently refine it.
  Avoid holding the brush on the same skin area for prolonged time. Do not use the exfoliation brush on your face.

We recommend that you exfoliate at least 1-2 days before you want to epilate.
Cleaning the exfoliation brush
After use, rinse the exfoliation brush under running water.
If needed, you may use some liquid soap to thoroughly clean it.
Shake the brush to remove excess water and leave it to dry.
Attach the protective cover (8b) before storing the brush.

Replacing the exfoliation brush
With weekly use, we recommend that you replace the brush unit (8a) after 12 months. Brush refills (ref. no. 79 Spa) are available from your retailer or Braun Service Centres  or via www.service. braun.com.
