are used to the sensation of epilation, you 
may replace the massage cap (1a) with 
the efficiency cap (1b) which provides a 
closer skin contact and an improved 
adaptation to all body areas. 

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
The sensitive area cap (8) has been spe-
cifically designed for use in these areas. 
Place it onto the epilation head.
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 (9) 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.

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.
