2 Charging the shaver

• When charging for the first time: Connect the shaver to the mains and charge
it for at least 4 hours (switch position «off»). Then shave without the cord until
the batteries are fully discharged. Then recharge to full capacity again
(subsequent charges will take about 1 hour).

• The green charging light shows that the shaver is being charged. When the
rechargeable battery is fully charged, the charging light goes off. If later on,
the charging light comes on again, this indicates that the shaver is being
recharged to maintain its full capacity.

•A full charge will give up to 30 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on
your beard growth. However, the maximum battery capacity will only be
reached after several charging/discharging cycles. Best environmental tem­perature range for charging is 15

• Wattage: 4 Watts
Voltage range during charging: 12–240 V
(automatic adaptation)

°C to 35 °C.

3 Shaving

3.1 Switch positions

off = Switch is locked.

foil shave = Shaver foil only.
combi shave = Combination shave (InterFace trimmer works in tandem

with the shaver foil to first cut the longer problem hairs,
which then allows the foil to shave the shorter hairs even
closer) (b).

4

trimmer = The long hair trimmer is activated (for trimming sideburns,

moustache and beard) (c).

3.2 Shaving with the cord

If the batteries are discharged, you may also shave with the shaver connected
to the mains (100–240 V ~). (If the shaver should not run immediately, charge
it with the switch position «off» for approx. 1 minute.)

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 your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.

• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at
least every 18 months or when worn.

4 Keeping your shaver in top shape

4.1 Cleaning

• After shaving, switch the shaver off. Press the release buttons, take off the
shaver foil (d) and gently tap it out on a flat surface (e).

• Then thoroughly clean the cutter block with the brush (f). About every four
weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents (g).

• Do not clean the shaver foil with the brush.

• If you have a very dry skin and you notice a reduced operation time of the
shaver, you should put a drop of light machine oil onto the InterFace trimmer
and shaver foil (g).

4.2 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: part no. 3600)

• Press the release buttons, take off the shaver foil. Replace the new shaver foil
in the right direction until it locks in place.

• To remove the cutter block, lift it off (g).

• To replace the cutter block, snap onto the holding studs.

•

4.3 Preserving the rechargeable batteries

• In order to optimise the capacity and life of the batteries, the shaver should be
fully discharged through regular use every 6 months approximately. Then
recharge to full capacity again. This reconditions the rechargeable batteries.

• Do not expose the shaver to temperatures of more than 50 °C for long periods
of time.
