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
possible. Its proven epilation system
removes your hair at the root, leaving your
skin smooth for weeks.
• The high-precision epilation head
2
with 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 EverSoft attachment makes the
epilation ultra gentle. With its pulsating
movement it stimulates and relaxes the
skin, thus masking the pulling sensation.
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 (USA/CDN: type
PI-41-77 D-1, Mexico: PI-41-77 AR).
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.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows
irritation, we recommend that you con-
tact 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 optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are longer,
we recommend to pre-cut to this length.
