As a safety feature, it may happen that
in a low-charge mode, the appliance
turns off. Then both charging lights flash
(green/red). In this case, simply turn
back the switch to «0» and recharge the
appliance as required.
• 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 5 °C and 35 °C.
Preparing for use
• In order to best prepare your skin for
epilation, use the Silk·épil pre-epilation
wipes included. Carefully wipe over the
area to be epilated and wait approximately
30 seconds before you start epilating. The
wipes leave your skin feeling cool and
fresh.
• Your skin must be dry and free from grease
or cream.
• 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).
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
10
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, continu-
ous 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 direc-
tions to achieve optimum results. The
pulsating movement of the massaging
rollers stimulate and relax the skin for a
gentler epilation.
• 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
