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
deodorants with alcohol.
E Cleaning the epilation head
1 Cleaning with the cleaning brush (9):
Remove the cap and brush it out. 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.
2 Cleaning under running water:
After each wet usage, clean the appliance under running water. Remove
the cap and hold the appliance with the epilation head under hot
running water. Then press the release button (6) to remove the epilation
head. Shake the appliance and the epilation head to remove excess
water and leave both parts to thoroughly dry out before re-assembling.
General information on epilation
All methods of hair removal from the root can lead to 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 at the root for the first few
times or if you have sensitive skin. If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows
irritation, we recommend that you contact your physician. In general, the
skin reaction and the sensation of pain tend to diminish con-
siderably 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 epilation head before each use will minimise 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 consultation with a physician: eczema, wounds, inflamed skin reactions
such as folliculitis (purulent hair follicles) and varicose veins around moles,
reduced immunity of the skin, e.g. diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud's disease, haemophilia, candida or immune deficiency.
