shortest hair (0.5 mm) from the root, leaving your
skin smooth for weeks.
• The exfoliation brush (9a or 9b) visibly refines
your skin by sweeping away dry skin cells via
gentle micro-vibrations.
• The shaver head (11) is designed for a fast and
close shave of underarms and bikini line.
The appliance is suitable for dry and wet usage
except for the shaver head attachment which
should only be used on dry skin.

Charging
• Before use, charge the appliance. For best
performance, we recommend that you always use
a fully charged appliance. Using the special cord
set, connect the appliance to an electrical outlet
with the motor switched off. Charging time is
approximately 1 hour.
• The charging light (5) flashes green (+) to show
that the appliance is being charged. When the
battery is fully charged, the green charging light
shines permanently. Once fully charged, use the
appliance without the cord.
• When the charging light flashes red (–), reconnect
the appliance to an electrical outlet via the special
cord set in order to recharge it.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of
cordless operation time.
• Wet usage might reduce the operation time.
We recommend that you recharge the appliance
after each use.
• The best temperature range for charging, using
and storing the appliance is between 15 °C and
35 °C. In case the temperature is far beyond this
range, charging might take longer and the
cordless operation time might be reduced.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event of the
appliance overheating, it may happen that the
charging light (5) shines red for 8 seconds and then
the appliance turns off automatically. In this case,
turn the switch back to the position «0» (off) and let
the appliance cool down.
How to operate the appliance
Switch on the appliance by pressing a lock key (4a)
and turning the switch (4) clockwise to position «I»
or «II».
The Smartlight (3) shines as long as the appliance
is switched on.
This provides better visibility of fine hairs or skin.
To remove the epilation head (2), press the release
button (6). To change caps, press their lateral ribs
and pull off.
I Epilation
Epilation tips:
• If you have not used an epilator before, or if you
have not epilated for a long period of time, it may
take a short time for your skin to adapt to
epilation. The discomfort experienced in the
beginning will decrease considerably with
repeated use as the skin adapts to the process.
97528368_SE_9-961e_Japan.indd 2397528368_SE_9-961e_Japan.indd 23 03.06.15 13:2603.06.15 13:26
CSS APPROVED Effective Date 11Jun2015 GMT - Printed 04Aug2015 Page 23 of 28
24
• When epilating for the first time, it is advisable to
epilate in the evening, so that any possible
reddening can disappear overnight. To relax the
skin we recommend applying a moisturizing
cream after epilation.
• Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair is between 0.5 - 5 mm long. If hairs are
longer, we recommend that you shave first and let
the hair grow back to at least 0.5 mm length.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Wet usage: Make sure your skin is very moist in
order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the
appliance.
How to epilate
Make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and
provided with a cap (1 or 8). The upper part of the
massage cap (1) is designed to swivel. If it does
not, re-attach the cap.
A Select speed «I» for gentle epilation, speed «II»
for efficient epilation.
B Always stretch your skin when epilating.
Make sure that the epilation area is in close
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 optimal results. The massage cap (1)
ensures best skin comfort during epilation. If you
are used to the sensation of epilation, you may
replace the massage cap with the skin contact
cap (8) which provides a closer skin contact and
an improved adaptation to all body areas.
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 (8). 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 Cleaning the epilation head
1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (12):
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 Exfoliation
Exfoliation tips
The exfoliation brush has been developed for full
body usage, especially for legs, arms and
décolleté. It has not been designed for usage in the
face. The gentle brushing action with more than
3000 micro-vibrations per minute effectively
removes dry skin cells for a visibly improved skin
appearance.
You can use the exfoliation brush on a weekly basis
on dry or wet skin during your shower routine.
97528368_SE_9-961e_Japan.indd 2497528368_SE_9-961e_Japan.indd 24 03.06.15 13:2603.06.15 13:26
CSS APPROVED Effective Date 11Jun2015 GMT - Printed 04Aug2015 Page 24 of 28
25
However, when using it in a bathtub, do not
immerse it fully in water since this will not provide
optimal exfoliation results.
Using the brush on wet skin provides 4 times better
exfoliation results than a manually applied cosmetic
exfoliation product alone.
For best exfoliation results, extra comfort and a
pampering experience, we recommend to use the
product use the brush on wet skin with your
preferred body scrub or shower gel.
How to exfoliate
• Click the exfoliation brush (9a and 9b) onto to the
brush adapter (10).
• Click the brush adapter onto the appliance.
A Select speed «I» for sensitive skin areas, speed
«II» for normal skin.
B Slowly guide the exfoliation brush in circular
movements over your skin to gently refine it.
Avoid holding the brush on the same skin area for
prolonged time. Do not use the exfoliation brush
on your face.
The regular use of the exfoliation brush (e.g. once
a week) helps minimizing the risk of in-grown
hairs: Dead skin cells are removed so that fine,
re-growing hairs can easily get through to the
skin surface. We recommend that you exfoliate at
least 1-2 days before you want to epilate.
C Cleaning the exfoliation brush
After use, rinse the exfoliation brush under
running water. If needed, you may use some
liquid soap to thoroughly clean it. Shake the
brush to remove excess water and leave it to dry.
D Replacing the exfoliation brush
With weekly use, we recommend that you replace
the brush unit (9a and 9b) after 12 months.
Brush refills (ref. no. 79 Spa) are available from
your retailer or Braun Service Centres or via
www.service.braun.com.
III How to use the shaver head
The shaver head (11) is designed for a fast and
close shave of legs, underarms and bikini line,
contour trimming and cutting hair to 5 mm length.
With the shaver head attached, only use the
appliance on dry skin and with speed setting II.
A Shaving: select « ».
B Contour trimming: select « ».
C Trimming hair to 5 mm length: select « » and
put on the trimmer cap (a).
D Cleaning: Do not clean the shaver foil (b) with
the brush as this may damage the foil.
E The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly
every 3 months.
F Replace the foil frame (b) and cutter block (c)
when you notice a reduced shaving performance.
Replacements parts can be obtained from your
retailer or Braun Customer Service Centres or via
www.service.braun.com. Do not shave with a
damaged foil.
