•Press the release buttons (4) to remove the shaver head. Tap it out on a flat surface.
•Rinse the shaver head and the cutter block separately under warm running water. A natural based soap may also be used provided it contains no particles or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam.
•Leave the cutter block and shaver head to dry separately.

Press the release buttons (4) to remove the shaver head. Gently tap stuble and cut hair out of the shaver head and onto a flat surface. Brush out the cutter block and the inside of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil.
Your Braun Silk&Soft™ comes with a convenient hanging hook (10) for easy storage, useful also for leaving the shaving parts to dry and for charging the shaver. When you insert the appliance with
the switch facing the holder and the OptiTrim™ attachment placed on the head, the appliance should snap into the holder for convenient transport.

•The shaving parts need to be lubricated regularly every 3 months (E). If you clean the shaver head under running water, lubricate it after each cleaning. Apply some light machine oil or pe- troleum jelly to the shaver foil and the metal parts of the long hair trimmer. Then remove the shaver head and also apply a tiny amount of petroleum jelly as shown in picture section (E).
•The shaver foil and the cutter block are precision parts that wear out with time. To maintain optimum shaving per- formance, replace your foil and cutter block when you notice a reduced shaving performance.
