hope you entirely enjoy your new Braun
Lady shaver.
Warning
This appliance is provided with a special
cord set with an integrated Safety Extra
Low Voltage power supply. Do not

Charging
The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 15 °C and 35 °C.
• Using the special cord set, connect the
shaver to an electrical outlet with the
motor switched off.
• When charging for the first time, leave
the shaver to charge continuously for
4 hours. Subsequent charges will only
take about 1 hour.
• The charging light shows that the
shaver is being charged. When the
battery is fully charged, the charging
light intermittently blinks on and off.
This indicates that the battery is at full
capacity.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes
cordless operation depending on your
hair type and usage behaviour.
• Once the shaver is completely charged,
discharge it through normal use. Then
recharge to full capacity. Maximum
battery capacity will only be reached
after several charging/discharging
cycles.
• Thanks to the convenient 2-way feature
your Braun Silk&Soft may also be used
even if the rechargeable batteries are
discharged, connecting it to an elec-
trical outlet via the special cord set.
• The special cord set automatically
adapts to any worldwide AC voltage
(from 100 to 240 V).
Shaving
For silky smooth skin, the Silk&Soft
system captures even problem hairs, the
integrated SoftStrip stretches the skin to
ensure a closer reach and the floating
shaver foil and the floating longhair
trimmer hug the skin, all to ensure a
perfectly close shave.
For a gentle shave, the EasyGlide cushion
ensures smoother gliding and reduces
skin irritation.
The additional OptiShave attachment
allows an extra close and comfortable
shave of legs.
• Press and slide up the on/off switch
to turn the shaver on. Make sure that
the TrimLock is in the «shave» position.
• For optimum shaving results, place the
OptiShave attachment onto the shaver
head (A). It ensures perfect closeness

and the optimum usage angle so that
both, the shaver foil and the long hair
trimmer are in contact with the skin.
• Move the appliance slowly against the
direction of hair growth. Adjusting
to the body contours, the long hair
trimmer first raises all long hairs and
cuts them off. Then the shaver foil
follows to smooth away any stubble.
• If you have not shaved for a long period
of time, remove the OptiShave attach-
ment to allow a faster pre-cutting of
longer hairs (B).
• Also, for the more difficult-to-reach
underarm area remove the OptiShave
attachment for perfect reach.
• Always ensure that both, the shaver foil
and the long hair trimmer are in contact
with the skin.
Trimming & Styling
For precise lines and contours like the
bikini line, lock the long hair trimmer by
sliding the TrimLock to the position
«trim» (C1).
To trim hair to a uniform length (about
4 mm), e.g. in the bikini area, lock the long
hair trimmer , place the OptiTrim attach-
ment onto the shaver head (C2).
Wet
& Dry usage
Your Braun Silk&Soft may also be used in
the shower. Before doing so, make sure
that it is unplugged. When using it in the
shower, we recommend applying shaving
foam or gel.
When you are finished
After shaving, you may want to smooth
on a little body cream or lotion. However,
avoid using irritating substances like deo-
dorants with alcohol right away.
Cleaning
Always unplug the appliance before
cleaning.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving
performance. After each shave, proceed
as follows (D1):
• Press the release buttons to remove
the shaver head.
• Rinse the shaver head and the cutter
block separately under warm running
water. A natural based soap may
also be used provided it contains no
particles or abrasive substances. Rinse
off all foam.
• Leave the cutter block and shaver head
to dry separately.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver
using the brush provided (D2):
• Press the release buttons to remove
the shaver head. Tap the bottom of the
shaver head gently on a flat surface (not
on the foil).
• Brush out the cutter block and the
inside of the shaver head. However, do
not clean the shaver foil with the brush
as this may damage the foil.
Your Braun Silk&Soft comes with a prac-
tical charging holder which is also
very useful for leaving the shaving parts
to dry.
When you insert the appliance with the
switch facing the holder and the OptiTrim
attachment placed on the head, it snaps
into the holder for convenient transport.
Keeping your Braun Silk&Soft
BodyShave in top shape
• The shaving parts need to be lubricated
regularly every 3 months (E). If you
clean the shaver head under running
water, lubricate it after each cleaning.
Apply some light machine oil or vase-

line to the shaver foil and the metal
parts of the long hair trimmer. Then
remove the shaver head and also apply
a tiny amount of vaseline as shown in
picture section (E).
• The shaver foil and the cutter block
are precision parts that wear out with
time. To maintain optimum shaving
performance, replace your foil and
cutter block when you notice a reduced
shaving performance.
• Do not shave with a damaged foil or
cord.
• How to replace the shaving parts
Shaver foil: Press the release buttons
to remove the shaver head. To
remove the shaver foil, press the blue
plastic frame (F). To mount a new one,
insert it from inside the shaver head.
Cutter block: To remove the cutter
block, press and turn it 90° (G1), then
take it off. To put on a new cutter block,
press it onto the cutter block holder
and turn 90° (G2).
Preserving the rechargeable batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity
of the rechargeable batteries, the shaver
has to be fully discharged (by shaving)
approximately every 6 months. Then
recharge the shaver to full capacity. Do
not expose the shaver to temperatures
higher than 50 °C for extended periods
of time.
