replace the massage cap with the skin contact
cap (1b) which provides a closer skin contact and
an improved adaptation to all body areas.
Whenever the SensoSmart™ light shines red,
this is to remind you not to press too hard.
C
Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an upward
direction. When epilating behind the knee, keep
the leg stretched out straight.
D
Underarm and bikini line epilation
In sensitive areas, we recommend using the skin
contact cap (1b). Especially during the first
applications these areas are particularly sensitive
to pain. Therefore, we recommend that you select
speed I for the first few times. With repeated
usage the pain sensation will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective
area to remove residues (like deodorant). Then
carefully dab dry with a towel. When epilating the
underarm, keep your arm raised up so that the
skin is stretched and guide the appliance in
different directions.
As skin may be more sensitive directly after
epilation, avoid using irritating substances such
as deodorants with alcohol.
E
Facial epilation
For the first few usages, we recommend that you
select speed setting «I» in order to get used to
epilation in those sensitive areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning 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.
F
Cleaning the epilation head
1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (10):
Remove the cap and brush it out. Thoroughly
clean the tweezers from the rear side of the
epilator head 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.
2 Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance under
running water. Remove the cap and hold the
appliance with the epilation head under hot
running water. Then press the release button (6)
to remove the epilation head. Shake the appliance
and the epilation head to remove excess water
and leave both parts to thoroughly dry out before
re-assembling.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to
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 minimise 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.
II Body treatment
The
exfoliation brush
(8a) helps avoid ingrown
hairs by removing the dead skin cells. The
deep
massage pad
(8c) provides a noticeable vibration
and helps improve the skin appearance.
You may use the brush /pad alternatively on a weekly
basis on wet skin during your shower routine with
your preferred body scrub or shower gel. The deep
massage pad may even be used more frequently
with body lotion or massage oil.
When using the appliance in a bathtub, do not
immerse it fully in water since this will not provide
optimum results.
How to use
A Click the adapter (8) provided with brush or pad
(8a / 8c) onto the appliance.
B Slowly guide the appliance in circular movements
over your skin to gently refine it. Avoid holding it on
the same skin area for prolonged time. Do not use
it on your face. For best results, use the exfoliation
brush at least 1–2 days before epilating.
C Cleaning
After use, rinse the brush/pad (8a/8c) under
running water. If needed, you may use liquid soap
to thoroughly clean them.
You may remove the silicone cap from the deep
massage pad (8c) in order to make sure that there
is no water left inside the cap.
Before storing the exfoliation brush, you may
attach the protective cap (8b).
D Replacement
With weekly use, we recommend that you replace
the brush/pad after 12 months. Refills (ref. no. 79
Spa) are available from your retailer or Braun
Service Centers or via www.service.braun.com.
