Shaving

Press the on/off switch (4) to turn the shaver on.

Trimmer: When the long hair trimmer (5) is activated, it allows 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 your foil and cutter block every 18 months or when worn.

Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving per- formance.

After each shave, 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.

Then press the release buttons, lift the shaver foil off and pull the cutter block out. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.

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

Switch the shaver off. Press the release buttons and lift shaver foil off.

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. Put a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and the shaver foil.

Replacing the shaving parts

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block every 18 months or when worn. Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation.
