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
In sensitive areas, we recommend using
the skin contact cap (1b).
Please be aware that especially at the
beginning, these areas are particularly
pain-sensitive. Therefore, we recommend
that you select speed setting «I» for the
first few times. With repeated usage the
pain sensation will diminish.
Before epilating, thoroughly clean the
respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant). 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
For removing any unwanted hair from the
face, use the facial cap (8) as an optional
attachment to be placed on the epilation
head (2).
For the first few usages, we recommend
that you select speed setting «I» in order
to get used to the epilation sensation in
those 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.
6 Cleaning the epilation head
Regular cleaning ensures better per-
formance.

TM light shines red, this is
a Brush cleaning:
Remove the cap and brush it out.
Thoroughly clean the epilator head from
the rear side 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.
b Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance
under running water. Remove the cap.
Hold the appliance with the epilation head
under hot running water. Then press the
release button (6) to remove the epilation
head. Thoroughly shake both, the epilation
head and the appliance to make sure that
remaining water can drip out. Leave both
parts to dry. Before reattaching, make
sure that they are completely dry.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root
can lead to in-grown hair and irritation
(e.g. itching, discomfort and reddening of
the skin) depending on the condition of
the skin and hair. This is a normal reaction
and should quickly disappear, but may be
stronger when you are removing hair from
the root for the first few times or if you
have sensitive skin.
If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows irrita-
tion, we recommend that you contact your
physician.
In general, the skin reaction and the
sensation of pain tend to diminish consid-
erably with the repeated use of Silk·épil.
In some cases, inflammation of the skin
could occur when bacteria penetrate the
skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance over
the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epila-
tion head before each use will minimize
the risk of infection.
If you have any doubts about using this
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 reactions such as folliculitis
(purulent hair follicles) and, varicose
veins, around moles, reduced immunity of
