Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you thoroughly enjoy using your Braun Silkpil Xpressive. Please read the use instructions carefully before using the appliance and keep them for future reference. Braun Silkpil Xpressive has been designed to make the removal of unwanted hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth for weeks. The epilation head features a special arrangement of 40 tweezers and SoftLift tips for great efficiency. Thanks to its pivoting feature, it ideally adapts to the body contours, for effective short hair removal and thoroughness. The massage system (1a) stimulates the skin before and soothes it after the hair is pulled out to reduce the pain sensation. The Efficiency cap (1b) for fast epilation ensures maximum skin contact, always taking care of the optimum usage position thanks to its pivoting feature. The underarm cap (8) has been designed for use in delicate body areas such as under the arms and in the bikini zone. The precision cap (9) provides utmost precision and control in removing unwanted hair from the face and other sensitive areas. The shaver head (10) is specially designed for a fast and close shave of underarms and bikini line/zone. Important For hygienic reasons, do not share this appliance with other persons. 8

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. Never use the epilation head (2) without a cap (1). General information on epilation All methods of hair removal at the root can lead to in-growing 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 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 contact your physician. In general, the skin reaction and the sensation of pain tend to diminish considerably with the repeated use of Silkpil. 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 consultation 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, Raynauds

disease, haemophilia, candida or immune deficiency. Some useful tips 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 time for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort experienced in the beginning will decrease considerably with repeated use as the skin adapts to the process. Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of 25 mm (0.08 0.2 in.). If hairs are longer, we recommend that you either shave first and epilate the shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. 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 recommend 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 ingrowing hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine hair can get through to the skin surface.

10 Shaver head attachment with OptiTrim comb Charging Before use, charge the appliance. For best performance, we recommend that you always use a fully charged appliance. Using the special cord set, connect the appliance to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off. Charging time is approximately 1 hour. The green charging light (5a) flashes to show that the epilator is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light shines permanently. Once fully charged, use the appliance without cord. When the red low-charge light (5b) flashes, reconnect the appliance to an electrical outlet via the special cord set to recharge it. A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of cordless operation time. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles. The best environmental temperature for charging is between 41 F and 95 F. As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event of the appliance overheating, the charging lights may flash (red/green). After cooling down, the appliance will continue charging with the green charging light flashing.

Getting prepared for

dry usage Make sure your skin is dry and free from grease or cream. wet usage The appliance can be used on wet skin, even under running water. Make sure that the skin is very moist in order to achieve optimum gliding conditions for the appliance. 9
98637965_SE_7781_NA.indd 9
Additionally, you may apply some shower gel to the moist skin for results that will leave your skin beautifully soft and smooth after wet epilation. Before use, always make sure that epilation head is clean. Always make sure that the epilation head (2) is provided with a cap (1). To change caps, press their lateral ribs and pull off. To change heads, press the release button (6).

If you are used to the sensation of epilation and prefer a faster way of removing hair, attach the Efficiency cap (1b) replacing the massage system (1a). 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 For this specific application, the underarm cap (8) has been developed. Placed on the epilation head (2), it perfectly follows the contours of these areas, providing a gentle and thorough epilation. 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 deodorants with alcohol. 5 Facial epilation Place the precision cap (9) onto the epilation head (2) and your Silkpil 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

A How to epilate

1 Turning on Press one of the lock keys and turn the switch clockwise to setting 2 (optimum setting). For reduced speed, choose setting 1 (soft setting). The smartlight comes on instantly and shines as long as the appliance is switched on. It reproduces an almost daylight condition, thus revealing even the finest hair and giving you a better control for improved epilation efficiency. 2 How to guide the appliance Always stretch your skin when epilating. Always make sure that the epilation area between the massaging rollers is in contact with your skin. The pivoting caps automatically adapt to the contour of your skin. Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous movement without pressure against the hair growth, in the direction of the switch. As hair can grow in different directions, it may also be helpful to guide the appliance in different directions to achieve optimum results. The pulsating movement of the massaging rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a gentler epilation. 10
98637965_SE_7781_NA.indd 10
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 switch off automatically and the charging lights flash (red/green). In this case, turn the switch back to the 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. 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.

Shaving Put on the shaver head attachment (10) by clicking it in. Pressing one of the lock keys, turn the switch clockwise to setting 2. 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 growth. The trimmer first raises all long hairs and cuts them off. Then the flexible foil follows to smooth away any stubble. When shaving or trimming in sensitive areas, make sure that you always keep your skin stretched to avoid injuries. Contour trimming For trimming precise line and contours, lock the long hair trimmer by sliding the trim/ shave selector (e) to the position trim (C1). Pre-cutting hair for epilation If you choose to pre-cut your hair to the ideal length for epilation, place the OptiTrim comb (a) onto the shaver head. Slide the trim/shave selector to the trim position. Hold the appliance with the OptiTrim comb lying flat on the skin. Guide it with the comb tips against the hair growth as shown in illustration (C2). N.B. As hair does not always grow in the same direction, also guide the appliance slightly diagonally or in different directions in order to achieve best results. Cleaning the shaver head After each use, unplug the appliance. Brush cleaning Press the release buttons (d) to remove the shaver head (D1). Tap the bottom of the shaver head gently on a flat surface (not on the foil). 11

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. Cleaning with water Press the release buttons (d) to remove the shaver head. Rinse the shaver head and the cutter block separately under running water (D2). Leave the cutter block and the foil frame to dry separately before reattaching them. Keeping your shaver head attachment in top shape The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly every 3 months (E). If you clean the shaver head under running water, please lubricate it after every cleaning. Apply some light machine oil or vaseline 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). The shaver foil and the cutter block are precision parts that wear out with time. To maintain optimum shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block when you notice a reduced shaving performance. Do not shave with a damaged foil or cord. How to replace the shaving parts Shaver foil: Press the release buttons to remove the shaver head. To remove the shaver foil, press the foil frame (F). To mount a new one, insert it from inside the shaver head. Cutter block: To remove the cutter block, press and turn it 90 (G1), then take it off. To put on a new cutter block, press it onto the cutter block holder and turn 90 (G2). Replacements parts (shaver foil, cutter block) can be obtained from your retailer or Braun Customer Service Center. 12
