DO NOT

 activate the device if the treatment window (1) is not placed in full contact 

with the skin. 

DO NOT

 block the cooling vents. The device may overheat and pose an electric 

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. Ensure there is no hair remaining above the surface of the skin as this can damage the removable 
front (9) and may cause treatment discomfort. Clean the treatment area and pat it dry.

To power on the device:

Plug the mains cord (8) into an electrical outlet. Plug the power supply (7) into the power socket (6). 
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. 

Light intensity button (4)

Normal setting: After plugging in, the device operates with full light intensity shown by a white 
indicator light.
Gentle setting: Press button (4) in order to operate with reduced light intensity. The indicator light 
shines blue.
Extra gentle setting: Press the button a second time: The light flashes blue.  

To return to full power, press the button again.  

Gentle and extra gentle settings are meant for sensitive areas and first time users. With reduced light 
intensity, more treatments may be required to see the desired effects. 

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.
