The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame after cleaning. However, these marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft tissue paper.
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.
Rinsing the shaving head under running water is an alternative way to keep the shaver clean, especially when travelling:
•Switch the shaver on (cordless) w and rinse the shaving 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 release button 9 to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette 8 and let it 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.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided:
•Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette 8 and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it.
Cleaning the housing
From time to time clean the housing of the shaver and the Clean&Renew station with a damp cloth, especially inside the cleaning chamber where the shaver rests.
Replacing the cleaning cartridge
After having pressed the lift button 2 to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping.
Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning solution.
