Keeping your shaver in top shape, Environmental notice

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.

•Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.

•Replace the shaver foil and cutter block every 11/2 years, or when the parts are worn, to ensure optimum shaving performance.

4 Keeping your shaver in top shape

4.1 Cleaning

•After shaving, switch the shaver off. Press the release buttons, take off the shaver foil (d) and gently tap it out on a flat surface (e).

•Then thoroughly clean the cutter block with the brush (f). About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents (g).

•Do not clean the shaver foil with the brush.

•If you have a very dry skin and you notice a reduced operation time of the shaver, you should put a drop of sewing machine oil onto the floating cutter and shaver foil (g).

4.2 Replacing the shaving parts

•The shaver foil and cutter block are precision parts that, in time, are subject to

wear. A regular replacement of the parts every 11/2 years or when these parts are worn, will ensure, that you are getting the close, comfortable and quick shave you expect from your Braun shaver.

(Shaver foil and cutter block: part no. 3600)

•Press the release buttons, take off the shaver foil. Replace the new shaver foil in the right direction until it locks in place.

•To remove the cutter block, lift it off (g).

To replace the cutter block, snap onto the holding studs.

4.3 Preserving the rechargeable battery

•In order to optimise the capacity and life of the battery, it should be fully discharged through regular use every 6 months approximately. Then recharge to full capacity again. This reconditions the rechargeable battery.

•Do not expose the shaver to temperatures of more than 50 °C for long periods of time.
