DO NOT activate the device if the treatment window (1) is not placed in full contact
with the skin.

shock risk or fire hazard.
HOW TO USE
Preparing the treatment area
Remove any visible hair on the skin before using the device. You may use your preferred hair removal
method. Clean the treatment area and pat it dry.
To power on the device:
First assemble the power supply (7) by clicking in an appropriate pin insert (8). (The power supply is
provided with a release button (7a) for removing the pin insert.) Plug the power supply (7) into the socket
(6) and connect it to an electrical outlet. The LED power bars (3) will light up once and, a fan starts
running. This means the device is in READY mode. During operation, the device will heat up slightly.
Automatic skin tone reading
When both skin tone sensors (2) have skin contact, the device reads your skin tone and selects the
appropriate light intensity which is indicated by white LEDs on the Power bars (3). These confirm that the
device is ready to flash.
Patch Test
Before your first treatment, we recommend you test your skin for reaction to Braun Silk·expert on a small
area of skin of the body part you plan to treat (about 2 x 3 cm in size; equivalent to the size of two flashes,
side by side).
Perform a patch test as described BELOW in chapter «TREATMENT MODES», section «Precision mode».
Wait 48 hours to examine the test area. If the skin appears normal, begin your first treatment. If a skin
reaction develops, discontinue using the device and consult your physician. Do not treat the patch tested
area for at least one week after the test.
