appliance, please consult your physician.
In the following cases, this appliance
should only be used after prior consulta-
tion with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reac-
tions 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 that you either shave first
and epilate the shorter re-growing hairs
after 1 or 2 weeks, or use the shaver head
with the included OptiTrim attachment
to pre-cut hairs to this ideal length.
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 recom-
mend 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
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.
It is a fact that hair re-growth will be
reduced by 50 % if you remove hairs from
the root regularly at least every 4 weeks
using your Silk·épil.

A How to epilate
• Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
• Keep in mind that epilation is more
comfortable when the hair is at the
optimum length of 2–5 mm (see section
«Some useful tips»).
• Before starting, thoroughly clean the
epilation head .
• Plug the cord connector into the
socket and plug the transformer plug
into an electrical outlet.
1 Make sure one of the clips (1a) or (1b) is
attached to the epilation head.
To turn on the appliance, slide switch
to the «optimal» setting. For reduced
speed, choose the «soft» setting. The
SmartLight illuminates as long as the
appliance is switched on.
2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs. For op-
timum performance hold the appliance
at a right angle (90°) against your skin.
Guide it in a slow, continuous move-
ment without pressure against the hair
growth, in the direction of the switch.
