Braun BGK 7090 Mode D'emploi page 9

• Dual Epilation with the smoothing cap has been designed for wet usage with shave
gel or foam on legs. If you want to use the smoothing cap for hair removal in other
body areas, please take extra care, because of the sharp blades. Skin needs to be
stretched during usage.
Start-up phase
• In order to allow your skin to adapt to the new hair removal process, it is most
important that you use the appliance once a week during the first month of usage.
After 3-4 usages, with every hair being epilated once and the hair re-growth adapted
to the new process, you will be able to enjoy long-lasting results as with normal
epilation, using the dual epilator every 2-3 weeks.
How to use the Dual Epilator
• Before use, make sure that the epilation head (3) is clean. Attach the smoothing cap
(2). For improved handling under wet conditions, you may want to attach the non-slip
grip (7).
• Apply shave foam or gel on the wet skin.
• Stretching your skin, guide the appliance in a slow, continuous movement without
pressure against the hair growth in the direction of the switch.
• Make sure that the head is guided flat over the skin. Its pivoting head perfectly adapts
to the skin contours. It first epilates and then smoothens your skin in one stroke.
• Guide the dual epilator starting from the lower leg in an upward direction. Keep your
leg stretched out straight when removing hair in the area behind the knee. Take
special care on bony, uneven skin areas in order to avoid injuries caused by the blade.
• From time to time, rinse off the foam built up on the smoothing cap.
Epilation (B)
Remove the Smoothing cap (2) and attach the high frequency massage cap (11a), the
efficiency cap (11b) or the sensitive cap (12).
• Wet usage: To achieve best gliding conditions, make sure the skin is very moist.
• Dry usage: Make sure your skin is dry and free from grease and cream.
Speed selection
Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation and speed «II» for an efficient epilation.
Handling
Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make sure that the epilation area is in 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 optimum results.
The massage cap (11a) ensures best skin comfort during epilation. If you are used to the
sensation of epilation, you may replace the massage cap with the efficiency cap (11b)
which provides a closer skin contact and an improved adaptation to all body areas.
Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward direction. When epilating behind the
knee, keep the leg stretched out straight.
