Our products are engineered to meet
the highest standards of quality,
functionality and design. We hope
you thoroughly enjoy your new
Silk·épil.
Please read the use instructions
carefully and completely before using
the appliance.
Braun Silk·épil EverSmooth has been
designed to make the removal of un-
wanted hair as efficient, gentle and
easy as possible. Its proven epilation
system removes your hair at the root,
leaving your skin smooth for weeks.
The high-precision epilation head
with its unique arrangement of
tweezers and the integrated feed-in
geometry ensures an efficient epila-
tion and removes even hair as short
as 0.5 mm at the root. As the hair
that re-grows is fine and soft, there
will be no more stubble.
Warning
• For hygienic reasons, do not share
this appliance with other persons.
• Keep the appliance dry.
• Keep the appliance out of the
reach of children.
• When switched on, the appliance
must never come in contact with
the hair on your head, eyelashes,
ribbons, etc. to prevent any
danger of injury as well as to
prevent blockage or damage to
the appliance.
• Before use, check whether your
voltage corresponds to the voltage
printed on the transformer.
Always use the country-specific
12 V transformer plug supplied with
the product.
General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to remove hair
on legs, but it can also be used on all
sensitive areas like forearms, the
underarm or the bikini line.
All methods of hair removal at the
root can lead to in-growing hair and
irritation (e.g. itching, discomfort or
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
at 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) and
varicose veins
– around moles
– reduced immunity of the skin,
e.g. diabetes mellitus, during
pregnancy, Raynaud’s disease
– haemophilia or immune
deficiency.
Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more com-
fortable when the hair is at the op-
timal length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.).
If hairs are longer, we recommend to
pre-cut to this length.
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 moisture
cream after epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows might not
grow up to the skin surface. The
regular use of massage sponges (e.g.
after showering) or exfoliation peel-
ings helps to prevent in-growing
hair as the gentle scrubbing action
removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

3. Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from bottom
upwards. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched
out straight.
4. Underarm and bikini line epilation
Use tests monitored by dermatol-
ogists have revealed that you can
also epilate the underarm and
the bikini line. Please be aware
that these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. With repeated
usage the pain sensation will
diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean
the respective area to remove
residue (like deodorant). Then
carefully dab dry with a towel.
