Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These may damage the device or scratch the

Do not attempt to use this device other than for removing unwanted hair.

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. To keep the treatment window clean and intact, ensure there is no hair remaining on the skin
surface. Clean the treatment area and pat it dry.
To power on the device:
Use the mains cord (8) to connect the base station to an electrical outlet. Press any button (4 or 5) to
activate the device. 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 light adaptation
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.
Gentle mode
Push the gentle mode button (4) to reduce the light intensity. You can toggle through the following 3
settings:
Standard: 3 indicator lights
Gentle: 2 indicator lights
Extra gentle: 1 indicator light (lowest light intensity with fast flash rate)
Gentle and extra gentle settings are intended for sensitive areas and first time users. With reduced light
intensity, more treatments may be required to see the desired effects.
The power bars flash to confirm a change in the light intensity setting.
When holding the gentle mode button (4) longer than 3 seconds, the device is deactivated.
After 10 minutes without use, the device is automatically deactivated.
Press any button to re-activate it.
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 methods», section «STAMPING».
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.
