Charging
The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 15 °C and 35 °C.
• Using the special cord set, connect the
shaver to an electrical outlet with the
motor switched off.
• When charging for the first time, leave
the shaver to charge continuously for
4 hours. Subsequent charges will only
take about 1 hour.
• The charging light (5) shows that the
shaver is being charged. When the
batteries are fully charged, the green
light goes off. If it comes on again
while connected to an electrical outlet,
this indicates the shaver is recharging
to maintain its full capacity.
• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes
cordless operation depending on
your hair type and usage behaviour.
Frequent use of the exfoliation
attachment will reduce the cordless
operation time.
• Once the shaver is completely
charged, discharge it through normal
use. Then recharge to full capacity.
Maximum battery capacity will only be
reached after several charging/dis-
charging cycles.
• Thanks to the convenient 2-way
feature your Braun Silk·épil may also
be used even if the rechargeable
batteries are discharged, connecting
it to an electrical outlet via the special
cord set.
• The special cord set automatically
adapts to any worldwide AC voltage
(from 100 to 240 V).
Shaving
For radiant skin, the Silk&Soft system
captures even problem hairs, the
integrated SoftStrip stretches the skin
to ensure a closer reach and the floating
shaver foil and the floating longhair
trimmer hug the skin, all to ensure a
perfectly close shave. For a gentle shave,
the EasyGlide cushion ensures smoother
gliding and reduces skin irritation.
The additional OptiShave attachment (1)
allows an extra close and comfortable
shave of legs.
• Press and slide up the on/off switch to
turn the shaver on. Make sure that the
TrimLock is in the «
• For optimum shaving results, place the
OptiShave attachment onto the shaver
head (A). It ensures perfect closeness
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 trim-
mer 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
attachment to allow a faster pre-cutting
of longer hairs (B).
• Always ensure that both, the shaver foil
and the long hair trimmer are in contact
with the skin.
Shaving your legs with the exfoliation
attachment
Instead of the OptiShave attachment,
you may want to use the exfoliation
attachment (6) that helps enhancing the
general look of the skin surface thanks
to its exfoliation pad. The exfoliation pad
gently scrubs the skin to remove dead
skin particles, thus revitalizing the skin
and giving it a radiant lode.
Proceed as follows:
– Remove the OptiShave attachment (1)
and replace it with the exfoliation
attachment (6).
