Braun Silk-epil 5 Legs, Body & Face Mode D'emploi page 11

1 How to operate the appliance
Turn the on/off switch (4) to operate
the appliance:
Turn to position «I» = extra gentle
Turn to position «II» = extra efficient
As long as the appliance is switched
on, the light (3) illuminates the area
to be epilated. This gives you a better
control for improved epilation efficiency.
2 How to guide the appliance
• Always stretch your skin when
epilating.
• Always make sure that the epilation
area is in close contact with your
skin.
• The pivoting head automatically
adapts to the contours of 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 pulsat-
ing movements of the massaging
rollers stimulate and relax the skin
for a gentler epilation.
• If you are used to the sensation of
epilation and prefer a faster way of
removing hair, attach the efficiency
cap (1b) replacing the massaging
rollers (1a).
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretched
out straight.
4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
For this specific application, the sensi-
tive area cap (7) has been developed
as an optional attachment to be placed
on the epilation head (2).
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning, these areas are particularly
12
sensitive to pain. Therefore, we recom-
mend you start with switch setting «I».
With repeated usage the pain sensa-
tion 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 substances such
as deodorants with alcohol.
5 Facial epilation
With the facial head (8) attached, your
Silk·épil is perfectly suited for
conveniently removing any unwanted
hair from the face or other sensitive
areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend
cleaning the skin with alcohol to pro-
mote good hygiene. When epilating the
face, stretch the skin with one hand
and slowly guide the epilator with your
other hand in the direction of the
switch.
6 Cleaning the epilation head
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance.
Regular cleaning ensures better per-
formance.
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap (1) 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.
b Cleaning under running water:
Remove the cap. Hold the appliance
with the epilation head under running
water.
