For best results, Braun recommends you follow 3 simple steps:

2.At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to your skin.
3.Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

Cleaning indicator
Your shaver should be cleaned daily in the Clean&Renew, and certainly when the yellow cleaning light (7) shines constantly after shaving. If this is not done, the yellow light will go out after some time. The shaver’s electronics will then assume it has been cleaned manually and a new calculation of the time when the next cleaning is required will be started. During the cleaning process in the Clean&Renew the yellow light will flash and will go off after approx. 4 hours when cleaning is finished.
Automatic cleaning
Once the shaver is put into the Clean&Renew, it is cleaned automatically (see «C Clean&Renew»).
Manual cleaning is recommended only when the Clean&Renew is not available, e. g. when travelling.
Manual cleaning
The shaver head is suitable for cleaning under running tap water. Warning: Detach the shaver from the power supply before cleaning the shaver head in water.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:
•Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water. You may use liquid soap without 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 & Cutter cassette (1) and let it dry.
•If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer
(2) and shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1).
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:
•Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it out on a flat surface.
•Using a brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it.
Replacement light for shaving parts/Reset To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1), when the replacement light for shaving parts
(8)comes on (after about 18 months) or when worn.
The replacement light will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the foil and cutter cassette. Then the shaver will auto- matically reset.
After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), press the on/off switch (4) for at least 5 seconds to reset the counter.
While doing so, the replacement light blinks and goes off when the reset is complete. The manual reset can be done at any time.
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every 6 months approximately. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.
