Tips for the perfect shave
•We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing.
•Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin (b). Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.
•To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn.
Using the styler
•The wide shaper (4a) evenly cuts and trims larger areas (c): Ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards. Press the blue rib to push out the styler (4).
•The narrow shaper (4b) precisely defines lines and edges (d): Ideal for precise contouring. To use the narrow shaper, push out the styler and turn it 180°.
•Frequent use of the styler may reduce the battery capacity.
Cleaning
This appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open water tap.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:
•Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving head under hot running water (e). A natural based soap may also be used provided it contains no particles or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
•Next, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided (f):
•Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil.
•Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil.
Keeping your shaver in top shape
About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents. Put a drop of light machine oil onto the shapers (4a, 4b) and the shaver foil (g).
Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn.
