the efficiency cap (1b) which provides a
closer skin contact and an improved
adaptation to all body areas.
3 Leg epilation
Epilate your legs from the lower leg in an
upward direction. When epilating behind
the knee, keep the leg stretched out
straight.
4 Underarm and bikini line epilation
The sensitive area cap (8a) and the sensi-
tive area head (8b) have been designed
specifically for these areas.
Model 7-531: Place the sensitive area cap
(8a) onto the epilation head.
Model 7-561: Remove the epilation head
and attach the sensitive area head (8b).
Especially at the beginning, these areas
are particularly pain-sensitive. Therefore,
we recommend that you select speed
setting «I» for the first few times.
With repeated usage the pain sensation
will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). 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 deo-
dorants with alcohol.
5 Facial epilation
Remove the epilation head and replace it
with the precision head (9). Thanks to its
specific design, it is perfectly suited for
conveniently removing individual hairs in
the face or other sensitive areas.
For the first few usages, we recommend
that you select speed setting «I» in order
to get used to the epilation sensation in
those sensitive areas.
Prior to epilation, we recommend cleaning
the skin with alcohol to promote good
hygiene. When epilating the face, stretch
the skin with one hand and slowly guide
the epilator with your other hand the
direction of the switch.
6 Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures better per-
formance.
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out.
Thoroughly clean the epilator head from
the rear side with the brush dipped into
alcohol. While doing so, turn the tweezer
element manually. This cleaning method
ensures best hygienic conditions for the
epilation head.
b Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance
under running water. Remove the cap.
Hold the appliance with the epilation head
under hot running water. Then press the
release button (6) to remove the epilation
head. Thoroughly shake both, the epilation
head and the appliance to make sure that
remaining water can drip out. Leave both
parts to dry. Before reattaching, make
sure that they are completely dry.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root
can lead to in-grown hair and irritation
(e.g. itching, discomfort and 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 from
the root for the first few times or if you
have sensitive skin.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irrita-
tion, we recommend that you contact your
physician.
In general, the skin reaction and the
sensation of pain tend to diminish consid-
erably 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 minimize
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
