Overheating Protection; How To Operate The Appliance - Braun BGK 7050 Manual De Instrucciones

Overheating protection

As a safety feature to avoid the unlikely event of the appliance overheating, it may
happen that the charging light shines red for 8 seconds and then the appliance turns
off automatically. In this case, turn the switch back to the position 0 (off) and let the
appliance cool down.

How to operate the appliance

Switch on the appliance by pressing a lock key (4a) and turning the switch (4) clockwise
to position «I» or «II». The Smartlight (3) shines as long as the appliance is switched on.
This provides better visibility of fine hairs or skin. To remove the epilation head, press the
release button (6). To change caps (1a), (1b) or (8), press their lateral ribs and pull off.
Usage of the epilation head (A)
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.
• 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.
• Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of
2-5 mm. If hairs are longer, you can pre-cut the hairs to 5 mm length using the shaver
head with trimmer cap.
• Fine, regrowing hairs 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-grown hair as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and fine
hair can get through to the skin surface.
• Dry usage: Your skin must be 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. After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water.
How to epilate
Before use, always make sure that the epilation head (2) is clean and provided with
a cap (1a or 1b).
Speed selection
Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation and speed «II» for an efficient epilation.
Handling
Always stretch your skin when epilating. Make sure that the epilation area is in contact
with 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 massage cap (1a) ensures best skin comfort during epilation. If you are used to the
