the epilation sensation in those sensitive
areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend clean-
ing the skin with alcohol to promote good
hygiene. When epilating the face, stretch
the skin with one hand and slowly guide
the epilator with your other hand the
direction of the switch.
6 Cleaning the epilation head
Regular cleaning ensures better per-
formance.
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out.
Thoroughly clean the epilator head from
the rear side 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:
After each wet usage, clean the appli-
ance under running water. Remove the
cap. Hold the appliance with the epila-
tion head under hot running water. Then
press the release button (6) to remove
the epilation head. Thoroughly shake
both, the epilation head and the appli-
ance to make sure that remaining water
can drip out. Leave both parts to dry.
Before reattaching, make sure that they
are completely dry.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root
can lead to in-grown hair and 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 from 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
minimize 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),
varicose veins, around moles, reduced
immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes
mellitus, during pregnancy, Raynaud’s
disease, haemophilia,
Candida
or
immune deficiency.
B How to use the shaver head
The shaver head (9) is designed for a
fast and close shave of legs, underarms

only on dry skin and with speed setting
«II».
a Shaving: select « ».
b Contour trimming: select « ».
c Trimming hair to 5 mm length: select

d Cleaning: Do not clean the shaver foil
(II) with the brush as this may damage
the foil.
e The shaving parts need to be lubri-
cated regularly every 3 months.
f Replace the foil frame (II) and cutter
block (III) when you notice a reduced
shaving performance. Replacements
parts can be obtained from your
