Braun 5877 Charging lights, Low-charge light, Shaving, Cleaning, Keeping your shaver in top shape

Charging lights

5873/5874 and 5875 models: The green charging light blinks when the shaver is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light lights permanently.

5877 model: The 3 segments of the green charging light indicate the charging level by thirds. When fully charged, all 3 segments of the charging light shine permanently.

Low-charge light

(5877/5875 models only)

The red low-charge light flashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The re- maining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Shaving

Turn on the shaver («start»):

The pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to every contour of your face.

Trimmer:

When the long hair trimmer is activated, it allows the controlled trimming of moustache or sideburns.

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 the shaver foil and cutter block, when the replacement light (8) comes on (after about 18 months), or when the shaving parts are 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. 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.

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided:

•Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil.

•Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents.

Replacement light for shaving parts / Reset To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block, when the replacement light for shaving parts (8) comes on (after about 18 months) or when worn. Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation.
