Braun 190 manual Shaving, Cleaning, Trimming, Tips for the perfect shave

Shaving

Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch (6). The floating foil frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave.

For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the long hair trimmer (4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with the foil.

Trimming

Push out the long hair trimmer (a). It allows controlled trimming of moustache and sideburns. It evenly cuts and trims larger areas: ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards.

Frequent use of the long hair trimmer may reduce the battery capacity.

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 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.

Cleaning

This appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open water tap. Warning: Detach the hand-held part from the power supply before cleaning it in water.

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 (b). 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.

•If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil.
