Cleaning

Tips for the perfect shave For best shaving results, Braun recommends you to follow 3 simple steps:

1.Always shave before washing your face.

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.

completely). Switch on the shaver for approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can fall out.

•Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil nor the cutter block with the brush as this will damage them.

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 shaving head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean (A):

•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, press the foil release buttons (3) to remove the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2). Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.

•If you regularly clean the shaver under water, apply a drop of the light machine oil, included with the shaver, onto the shaver foil and long hair trimmer. This is critical for proper functioning of the shaver as washing under water can lead to removal of lubricants from the shaver’s cutting parts leading to higher friction in the shaver. This may result in the battery running out faster than normal. Even if this happens – indicated by low charge indicator lighting up earlier, your Braun shaver will run for at least 5 more minutes enabling you to complete your current shave.

The following quick cleaning is another alternative cleaning method (B):

•Press the foil release buttons (3) to lift the shaver foil (do not remove the foil

Replacing the shaver foil and cutter block / reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2), when the replacement symbol (8) lights up (after about 18 months) or when worn.

The replacement symbol will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the shaving parts. Then the shaver will automati- cally reset the display.

After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil and cutter block), use a ball-pen to push the reset button (9) for at least 3 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.
