Your Activator (shaver with Clean&Charge station)

is a system equipped with highly advanced electronic processors. It ensures unsurpassed closeness and comfort for you and optimum care for your shaver:

The system automatically adapts to any voltage worldwide.

The system recognizes when cleaning of your shaver is required, and automatically recognizes which of the three cleaning programs is appropriate.

While the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, the system automatically takes care of charging and discharging in a way that is optimized for the shaver’s battery capacity and life span.

The system takes care of lubrication of the shaver’s cutting parts.

Important

In order to avoid any leakage of the cleaning fluid, place the Clean&Charge station on a flat, stable surface.

Do not tip, move suddenly or transport the station in any way if a cleaning cartridge is installed.

Do not place the station in a mirror cabinet, nor store it over radiators, nor place it on polished or laquered surfaces. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

The station contains highly flammable liquid. Keep it away from sources of ignition.

No smoking.

Keep out of reach of children.

Do not refill cartridge.

Use only original Braun refill cartridge.

Using the special cord set (1), connect the socket of the Clean&Charge station (7) to an electrical outlet.

Press the station lift button (4) to open the housing.

Hold the cleaning cartridge (8) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).

Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.

Slide the cartridge into the base of the station as far as it will go.

Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.

The display for cleaning fluid (6) will show how much cleaning fluid is in the cartridge:

a)Cleaning solution sufficiently available

b)Up to 7 cleanings left

c)New cartridge required

Make sure the foil protection cap (9) is removed from the shaver. Insert the shaver head down into the station (the contacts on the back of the shaver (14) will correspond to the contacts in the station (3)). If necessary, the system will now charge the shaver.

Also, the cleaning status will be automatically analyzed and one of the four diodes of the cleaning program display

(5)will light up:

a)The shaver is clean

b)Eco(nomic), i.e. short cleaning required

c)Normal cleaning required

d)Intensive cleaning required

If the system has selected one of the three cleaning programs, it will not start until you push down the «start cleaning» button (2). This locks the shaver into the station and starts the cleaning process.

We recommend cleaning after each shave.

While cleaning is in progress, the respective cleaning program light will flash. Each cleaning consists of several cycles (where the cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head) and a heat drying period. The total cleaning time is 33 to 50 minutes.

Cleaning processes in the Clean&Charge should not be interrupted. While the shaver is drying, the metal parts of the shaver may be hot. Also, if the shaver is taken out prematurely and is not dry, its electronics could be harmed.

When the program is finished, the blue «clean» light will shine. You can release the shaver by pushing the «start cleaning» button.

Your shaver is now clean, charged and ready for use.

Braun 8585, 8590, 5644 User Manual

Shaving

If the shaver is locked into the Clean&Charge station, push the «start cleaning» button (2) to release the shaver and take it out.

Switch positions

0 = Off (switch is locked)

Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver: 1 = Shaving with the pivoting head

(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to every contour of your face).

2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle (to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the nose).

3 = The long hair trimmer is activated

(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).

Tips for the perfect shave

Shave before washing your face or taking a shower, as skin tends swell after washing.

The dryer the skin, the closer the shaving results will be.

Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch your 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.

Shaving with the cord

If the shaver is completely discharged and you do not have the time to recharge in the Clean&Charge station, you may also shave with the shaver connected to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

After shaving

Automatic cleaning

After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Charge station and proceed as described above in the section «Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are then taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles.

The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks.

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&Charge station is not available, e.g. when travelling. Never use water to clean the shaver.

Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the pivoting head. If you do not use the Clean&Charge station for a longer period of time, you should apply a drop of light machine oil onto the shaver foil.

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.

Cleaning shaver and Clean&Charge housing

Clean the housing of shaver and Clean&Charge station from time to time using a damp cloth, paying special attention to the opening of the station where the shaver rests.

The shaver indicator lights

Pilot light (18): the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet.

The red low-charge light (17) flashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

10

Model 8590: When the shaver is fully charged, all five green charging lights (16) will light up (20% per light), provided the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet or switched on.

Model 8585: The green single charging light (16) shows that the shaver is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light goes off and only lights up again when the battery maintains its full capacity.

Charging information

A full charge will give up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time, depending on your beard growth.

Best environmental temperature range for charging is 60 °F to 95 °F /15 °C to 35 °C.

For battery maintenance, the system will automatically initiate full discharging and then recharging of the batteries. This will take place every six months at the most, and only if necessary.
