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 deo-
dorants with alcohol.

Facial epilation
Place the precision cap (9) onto the
epilation head (2) and your Silk·épil is
perfectly suited for conveniently removing
any unwanted hair from the face or other
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.
Overheating protection
As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event
of the appliance overheating, it may happen
that the appliance automatically turns off and
the charging lights flash (red/green). In this
case, turn the switch back to position «0»
and let the appliance cool down.
Cleaning the epilation head
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance.
Regular cleaning ensures better performance.
Brush cleaning:
6 Remove the cap and brush it out.
7 Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the
rear side of the epilator head 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.
Cleaning under running water:
8 Remove the cap. Hold the appliance with
the epilation head under running water.
Then press the release button (6) to
remove the epilation head (2).
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.

Make sure the trim/shave selector is in the
«shave» position.
For best results, always make sure that
both, the shaver foil (b) and the trimmer (c)
are in contact with the skin (A). Keeping
your skin stretched (B), slowly move the
appliance against the direction of hair
