Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality
and design. We hope you thoroughly
enjoy using the Braun Silk·épil EverSoft
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 EverSoft has been de-
signed to make the removal of unwanted
hair as efficient, gentle and easy as pos-
sible. Its proven epilation system removes
your hair at the root, leaving your skin
smooth for weeks.
• The high-precision standard epilation
head Bwith its unique arrangement
of tweezers and the integrated feed-in
geometry ensures an efficient epilation
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.
• The 4-way moving pain softener 1
makes the epilation ultra gentle. Active,
4-way moving massage rollers stimulate
the skin before and after the hair is
removed 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 discomfort
experienced at first is considerably re-
duced 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 EverSoft 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 bhas 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 the process
much gentler and helps your skin adjust
to epilation, 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.
Important
• This appliance must never be used near
water (e.g. a filled wash basin, bathtub
or shower).
• 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, type PI-41-77 V-3
(UK: PI-41-77 BS3, Australia: PI-41-77
SA, Argentina: PI-41-77 IR).
General information on epilation
Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on
legs, but it can also be used on all sensi-
tive 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.
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
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 consul-
tation 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 comfortable
when the hair is at the optimal 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 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.

Preparing your skin
Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Optional skin cooling: For the first few
epilations or if you have sensitive skin you
can use the cooling application, recom-
mended by dermatologists to help reduce
possible skin irritation.
• Ensure that the gel pack has been in the
deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours
(for convenience you can store the gel
packs in the freezer).
• Insert a 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.

• Repeat cooling and epilating until com-
pletion.
• 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
p
ack when damaged. Dispose of in house-
hold waste.
Do not use if you are hypersensitive,
allergic to the cold, or if your skin suffers
from sensory disturbances, when suffer-
ing from cardiac diseases or arterial
circulatory disorders.
Preparing the appliance
• Before starting off, thoroughly clean the
epilation head you want to use (Bor 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 with
the white barrel head bif 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 lilac standard
epilation head Bwhich allows a more
efficient and faster epilation thanks to
its greater number of tweezers.
• Make sure that the attachment 1is 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 optimal performance, hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin and guide it without pressure
against the hair growth, in the direction
of the switch. 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
Use tests monitored by dermatolo-
gists 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. When epilating the underarm,
keep your arm raised up and guide the
appliance in different directions.
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.
6 Thoroughly clean the tweezer element
with the cleaning brush and also with
alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn
the tweezer element manually.
To remove the epilation head, press the
release buttons 3on the left and right
and pull it off.
7 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.
