Braun 8990 Shaver indicator lights, Quick cleaning, Thorough manual cleaning

Quick cleaning

Press the foil release buttons (12) to lift the shaver foil (do not remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can fall out.

Thorough manual cleaning

Manual cleaning is recommended only when the Clean&Renew™ station is not available, e.g. when travel- ling.

Never use water to clean the shaver.

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

If you do not use the Clean&Renew™ station for a longer period of time, you should apply a drop of light machine oil onto the shaver foil.

Cleaning the housing

Clean the housing of shaver and station from time to time with a damp cloth, especially inside the opening of the station where the shaver rests.

Replacing the cartridge

After having pressed the lift button (4) to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge.

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.
