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.
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.
