•The best environmental temperature for
charging, using and storing the appliance
is between 15 °C and 35 °C. In case the
temperature is beyond this range, the
charging time might be longer whereas
the cordless operation time might be
reduced.
•At the end of its lifetime, the recharge-
able battery can be replaced at an
authorized Braun Service Centre.

I Epilation
•When epilating on dry skin, your skin
must be free from grease or cream.
•The appliance can be used on wet
skin, even under running water. Make
sure that the skin is very moist. In order
to achieve optimum gliding conditions
for the appliance, you may use a
shower gel while epilating.
The epilation head (2) is equipped with
different caps (1, 7 or 8 depending on
model). Choose the cap according to your
needs:
Skin contact cap (1): provides a close
skin contact and adapts to all body areas.
Always stretch your skin while epilating.
Hold the appliance at a right angle (90°)
against your skin and guide it in a slow,
continuous motion against the hair growth
in the direction of the switch.
Use on legs: Epilate your legs in an
upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight. Keep your leg stretched out
straight when removing hair in the area
behind the knee.
Use on underarm and bikini zone: Since
these areas are sensitive to pain, start
with speed I. With repeated usage, the
pain sensation will diminish. Before epilat-
ing, thoroughly clean the respective area
to remove residues (like deodorant).
When epilating the underarm, keep your
arm raised up and guide the appliance in
different directions in order to catch all
hairs that might grow in various directions.
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.
•When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so
that any possible reddening can dis-
appear overnight. To relax the skin we
recommend applying a moisturizing
cream after epilating.
•Epilation is easier and more comfort-
able when the hair is at the optimum
length of 2 to 5 mm. If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you first shave and
epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs
after 3 to 5 days.
•Fine, re-growing hairs might not grow
up to the skin surface. Exfoliation helps
preventing in-grown hairs by scrubbing/
removing the upper skin layer so that
fine hairs can get through to the skin
surface.
Cleaning the epilation head
Regularly cleaning the epilation head
ensures good hygienic conditions. First
remove the cap used (1) and rinse it
under running water. To remove the epila-
tion head, press the release button (5).
Dry: Thoroughly clean the tweezers ele-
ment using the cleaning brush.
Wet: After each wet usage (especially
with gel), clean the epilation head under
running water. During cleaning, turn on
the epilator for a few seconds. Re-attach
