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, 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 narrow
epilation head (8) has been developed.
Thanks to its specific design adapted to
the contours of these areas, it provides 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 deo-
dorants with alcohol.
5 Facial epilation
With the precision head (9) attached, 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.
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.
