Charging

The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C to
35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to
temperatures higher than 122 °F / 50 °C for
extended periods of time.

Using the special electric cord set (10),

•

connect the shaver to an electrical outlet
with the motor switched off.
When charging for the first time, leave the

•

shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours.
Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour.
A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of

•

cordless shaving time depending on your
beard growth.
Shave without the cord. With normal use

•

the shaver will be charged automatically
after every cleaning in the Clean&Renew™
(see «C Clean&Renew™»).
Maximum battery capacity will only be

•

reached after several charging/discharging
cycles.
5-minute quick charge (with the special

•

electric cord set (10)) is sufficient for a
shave.
If the rechargeable batteries are discharged,

•

you may also shave by connecting the
shaver to an electrical outlet via the special
electric cord set.

8

Charging lights
The green charging lights (5) show the charge
status of the batteries. The green charging
light blinks when the shaver is being charged
or switched on. When the battery is fully
charged, all green charging lights shine
permanently, provided the shaver is switched
on or connected to an electrical outlet.

Low-charge light

The red low-charge light flashes when the
battery is running low.
You should be able to finish your shave.

A Shaving

Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the
shaver (picture).
The flexible shaving foils automatically adjust
to every contour of your face (picture).

Long hair trimmer

To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide
the long hair trimmer (2) upwards.

Precision setting switch («lock»)

(390cc/370cc only)
For precise handling in hard to shave areas
(e.g. under the nose) slide the switch (3) to
the right to position «lock». The centre trim­mer and one foil will be lowered.

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.

B Keeping your shaver in top

shape

Cleaning indicator

Your shaver should be cleaned daily in the
Clean&Renew™, and certainly when the
yellow cleaning light (7) shines constantly

after shaving. If this is not done, the yellow
light will go out after some time. The shaver’s
electronics will then assume it has been
cleaned manually and a new calculation of
the time when the next cleaning is required
will be started. During the cleaning process in
the Clean&Renew™ the yellow light will flash
and will go off after approx. 4 hours when
cleaning is finished.

Automatic cleaning

Once the shaver is put into the
Clean&Renew™, it is cleaned automatically
(see «C Clean&Renew™»). Manual
cleaning is recommended only when the
Clean&Renew™ is not available, e. g. when
travelling.

Manual cleaning

The hand-held unit should be detached from
the power supply cord before cleaning. The
shaver should not be used until it has dried.

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

Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse

•
the shaver head under hot running water.
You may use liquid soap without 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 & Cutter cassette (1) and let it
dry.
If you regularly clean the shaver under

•
water, then once a week apply a drop of
light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer
(2) and shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1).

Replacement light for shaving parts/Reset

(390cc/370cc only)
To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1),
when the replacement light for shaving parts
(8) comes on (after about 18 months) or when
worn.
The replacement light will remind you during
the next 7 shaves to replace the foil and
cutter cassette. Then the shaver will auto­matically reset.
After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter
cassette (1), press the on/off switch (4) for at
least 5 seconds to reset the counter.
While doing so, the replacement light blinks
and goes off when the reset is complete.
The manual reset can be done at any time.
Model 350cc: To maintain 100% shaving
performance, replace the shaver Foil & Cutter
cassette (1) at least every 18 months or when
worn.

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.

Environmental notice

This appliance contains rechargeable
batteries. To protect the environment,

do not dispose of the appliance in the
household waste at the end of its useful life.
Disposal can take place at a Braun Service
Center or appropriate collection sites.

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using
a brush:

Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver

•
Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it out on a
flat surface.

•

Using a brush, clean the inner area of the
shaver head. However, do not clean the
shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush
as this may damage it.

C Clean&Renew™

Braun Clean&Renew™ has been developed
for cleaning, charging and storing your shaver.
Clean your shaver daily in the Clean&Renew™.
During the automated cleaning process, the
shaver is switched on and off at intervals
to obtain best cleaning results. Since the
specially formulated cleaning fluid contains a

9

small amount of oil, the cleaning procedure
also fulfils the lubrication needs of the shaver.

Important

•

Only use the power supply special electric
cord set supplied with the shaver.

•

In order to avoid any leakage of the
cleaning fluid, place the appliance on a flat,
stable surface. Do not tip, move suddenly
or transport in any way if a cleaning
cartridge is installed.

•

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

•

The appliance 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.

Before using Clean&Renew™
Installing the cartridge

Press the lift button (3) to open the housing.

•
Hold the cartridge down on a flat, stable

•
surface (e.g. table). Carefully remove the lid
from the cartridge. Slide the cartridge into
the base as far as it will go.
Slowly close the housing by pushing it

•
down until it locks.

Replacing the cartridge

After having pressed the lift button 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.

10

The used cartridge can be disposed in the
household waste.

Operating your
Clean&Renew™

Connect your Clean&Renew™ with the

•
cord set to the mains electricity supply.
The special socket at the back is adjust­able to save space. After each shave,
switch the shaver off and put it into the
Clean&Renew™, upside down and with
the front showing.
Push the start/release button (1) to lock

•
and connect the shaver. The cleaning
process will start. The yellow light on the
shaver will flash during the complete
process (approx. 2 minutes cleaning,
min. 4 hours drying).
Do not interrupt the cleaning process, as it

•
leaves the shaver wet and not fit for use. If
interruption is needed nonetheless, press
the start/release button (1).
When cleaning is finished, the yellow light

•
will go off and the shaver is ready for use.
To release it, push the start/release button.
A cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for

•
about 30 cleaning cycles. When the level
indicator (4) has reached the «min» mark,
the remaining fluid in the cartridge is
sufficient for about 5 more cleaning cycles.
Then the cartridge should be replaced,
when used daily approx. every 4 weeks.
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 approx.
8 weeks.
The cleaning cartridge also contains

•
lubricates, which may leave residual marks
on the shaver head after cleaning.
However, these marks can be removed
easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft
tissue paper.
Clean the housing from time to time with a

•
damp cloth, especially the opening where
the shaver rests.
