Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality
and design. We hope you thoroughly
enjoy using the Braun Silk·épil Soft
Perfection Easy Start.
In the following we would like to familiarise
you with the appliance and provide some
useful information about epilation. Please
read the use instructions carefully and
thoroughly before using the appliance.
Braun Silk·épil SoftPerfection Easy Start
has been designed to make the removal of
unwanted 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
B
with its unique arrangement of
tweezers is designed to remove hair
efficiently and gently at the root. The
innovative SoftLift™ tips provide an
extra close epilation for perfectly
smooth skin, allowing to remove hairs
as short as 0.5 mm and also flat lying
hairs. And as the hair that re-grows is
fine and soft, there will be no more
stubble.
• The 4-way moving pain softener
1
makes the epilation ultra gentle. With its
pulsating movement it stimulates and
relaxes the skin to offset the pulling
sensation.
If you have not used an epilator before, or
if you have not epilated for a longer period
of time, it may take a short while for your
skin to adapt to epilation. The discom-
fort experienced at first is considerably
reduced with repeated use as the number
of hair to be removed decreases over time
and as the skin adjusts to the process.
The Braun Silk·épil SoftPerfection Easy
Start has been specially designed to make
your start in epilation easy as it gently
helps your skin in the adjustment phase.
• The starter epilation head
b
has been
developed especially for the first few
epilations, when skin is not yet used to
the process and also for sensitive skin.
Compared to the standard epilation
head it has fewer tweezers that are
further apart, pulling out less hair simul-
taneously. This makes epilation much
gentler and helps your skin adjust to the
process, but will take a bit longer than
with the standard epilation head.
The cooling application provides addi-
tional help to reduce possible skin irrita-
tion after epilation and will also leave the
skin feeling cool and fresh.
Warning
• Keep the appliance dry.
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of
children.
• When switched on, the appliance must
never come in contact with 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 this product.
General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to epilate hair on legs,
but use tests monitored by dermatologists
have revealed that you can also epilate the
underarm and the bikini line.
All methods of hair removal at the root can
lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g.
itching, discomfort and reddening of the
skin) depending on the condition of the
skin and hair.
5318473_SE2370_P6-112 Seite 10 Mittwoch, 1. Dezember 2004 9:13 09

11
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.
Using the cooling application will help to
prevent irritation.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irri-
tation, we recommend that you contact
your physician.
In general, the skin reaction and the sen-
sation of pain tend to diminish consider-
ably 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 epila-
tion 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 consulta-
tion with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reac-
tions 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 comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.). If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you shave first and
epilate the shorter re-growing hairs after 1
or 2 weeks.
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 recom-
mend 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 peelings 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.

• Insert the gel pack underneath the
glove’s transparent foil. Use only with
glove.
• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove
on your leg.
• Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute,
longer if needed.
• Epilate the cooled skin area immedi-
ately as described in section «C».
• Repeat cooling and epilating until
completion.
• While epilating, please ensure your skin
is dry.
Important: Apply cooling glove to the
same area for no longer than 2 minutes.
Keep away from sunlight. Do not use
gel pack when damaged. Dispose of in
household waste. Do not use if you are
hypersensitive, allergic to the cold, or
if your skin suffers from sensory disturb-
ances, when suffering from cardiac dis-
eases or arterial circulatory disorders.
Preparing the appliance
• Before starting off, thoroughly clean
the epilation head you want to use
(
B
or
b).
• To remove the epilation head, press the
release buttons 3on the left and right
and pull it off.
• Click the desired head into place:
– Choose the starter epilation head b
if you are epilating for the first time or
if you have very sensitive skin.
– Once your skin is used to epilation,
you may switch to the standard
epilation head Bwhich allows a
more efficient and faster epilation
thanks to its greater number of
tweezers.
• Make sure that the 4-way moving pain
softener is in place.
• Plug the cord connector 6into the
socket 5and plug the transformer
plug 7into an electrical outlet.
C How to epilate
1 To turn on the appliance, slide switch
4to setting «2»
(«2» = normal speed,
«1» = reduced speed).
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
For optimum performance hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. The SoftLift™ tips will make
sure that even flat lying hair is lifted and
removed thoroughly at the root.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
Both rollers of the 4-way moving pain
softener should always be kept in
contact with the skin, allowing the
pulsating movements to stimulate and
relax the skin for a gentler epilation.
3Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in
an upward direction. When epilating
behind the knee, keep the leg stretched
out straight.
4Underarm and bikini line epilation
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning these areas are particularly
sensitive to pain. With repeated usage
the pain sensation will diminish. For
more comfort, ensure that the hair is
at the optimum length of 2–5 mm.
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.
Cleaning the epilation heads
5 After epilating, unplug the appliance
and clean the epilation head used:
First take off the 4-way moving pain
softener 1and brush out the rollers.

element, use the cleaning brush dipped
into alcohol. Turn the product around,
hold the brush against the back of the
tweezer element and clean the tweez-
ers with the brush while turning the
barrel manually.
7 Remove the epilation head by pressing
the release buttons 3on the left and
right and pull it off.
Give the top of the housing a quick
clean with the brush. Place the epilation
head and the 4-way moving pain
softener back on the housing.
