and the optimum usage angle so that
both, the shaver foil and the long hair
trimmer are in contact with the skin.
• Move the appliance slowly against the
direction of hair growth. Adjusting
to the body contours, the long hair
trimmer first raises all long hairs and
cuts them off. Then the shaver foil
follows to smooth away any stubble.
• If you have not shaved for a long period
of time, remove the OptiShave attach-
ment to allow a faster pre-cutting of
longer hairs (B).
• Also, for the more difficult-to-reach
underarm area remove the OptiShave
attachment for perfect reach.
• Always ensure that both, the shaver foil
and the long hair trimmer are in contact
with the skin.
Trimming & Styling
For precise lines and contours like the
bikini line, lock the long hair trimmer by
sliding the TrimLock to the position
«trim» (C1).
To trim hair to a uniform length (about
4 mm), e.g. in the bikini area, lock the long
hair trimmer , place the OptiTrim attach-
ment onto the shaver head (C2).
When you are finished
After shaving, you may want to smooth
on a little body cream or lotion. However,
avoid using irritating substances like deo-
dorants with alcohol right away.
Cleaning
This appliance is suitable for
cleaning under an open water
tap.
Warning: Detach the hand-held
part from the power supply before
cleaning it in water.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving
performance. After each shave, proceed
as follows (D1):
• Press the release buttons to remove
the shaver head.
• Rinse the shaver head and the cutter
block separately under warm running
water. A natural based soap may
also be used provided it contains no
particles or abrasive substances. Rinse
off all foam.
• Leave the cutter block and shaver head
to dry separately.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver
using the brush provided (D2):
• Press the release buttons to remove
the shaver head. Tap the bottom of the
shaver head gently on a flat surface (not
on the foil).
• Brush out the cutter block and the
inside of the shaver head. However, do
not clean the shaver foil with the brush
as this may damage the foil.
Your Braun Silk&Soft comes with a prac-
tical charging holder which is also
very useful for leaving the shaving parts
to dry.
When you insert the appliance with the
switch facing the holder and the OptiTrim
attachment placed on the head, it snaps
into the holder for convenient transport.
Keeping your Braun Silk&Soft
in top shape
• The shaving parts need to be lubricated
regularly every 3 months (E). If you
clean the shaver head under running
water, lubricate it after each cleaning.
Apply some light machine oil or vase-
line to the shaver foil and the metal
parts of the long hair trimmer. Then
remove the shaver head and also apply
a tiny amount of vaseline as shown in
picture section (E).
