Charging

The best environmental temperature for charging is between 15 °C
and 35 °C.

Using the special cord set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet

•
and charge it for at least 16 hours. The shaver must be switched off.
The charging light (5) shows that the shaver is being charged.
A full charge provides up to 20 minutes of cordless shaving time

•
depending on your beard growth.

•

Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through
normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take
about 8 hours.

•

Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/
discharging cycles.

Shaving

Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch (6). The fl oating
foil frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave.

For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the long hair
trimmer (4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, fi nish with the foil.

Trimming

Push out the long hair trimmer (a). It allows controlled trimming of moustache
and sideburns. It evenly cuts and trims larger areas: ideal for shaping
sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards.

Frequent use of the long hair trimmer may reduce the battery capacity.

Tips for the perfect shave

For best results, Braun recommends you follow 3 simple steps:

1. Always shave before washing your face.

2. At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to your skin.

3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

Cleaning

This appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open water tap.
Warning: Detach the hand-held part from the power supply before
cleaning it in water.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving
head after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it
clean:

Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving head under hot

•
running water (b). A natural based soap may also be used provided it
contains no particles or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the
shaver run for a few more seconds.

Next, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver foil and the cutter block.

•
Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided (c):

Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil.

•
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 (d).

Replacing the shaving parts

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at
least every 18 months or when worn. Change both parts at the same time for a
closer shave with less skin irritation. (Shaver foil and cutter block: 10B)

Preserving the batteries

In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the
shaver has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every 6 months approximately.
Then recharge the shaver to full capacity. Do not expose the shaver to
temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
