Charging the shaver
• Via the low voltage adapter, connect
the shaver to an electrical outlet with
the motor switched off. Charge for at
least 8 hours (adapter and shaver
might get warm). Once the shaver is
completely charged, shave until fully
discharged. Then recharge to full
capacity again.
•A full charge will give up to 25
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°C to 35°C.
60 °F to 90 °F/
Indicator lights
• The green charging light shows that
the shaver is being charged.
• The red low charge light will come on
when the battery capacity has
Shaving
Turn on the shaver («on»).
Trimmer («trim»): When the long hair
trimmer is activated, it allows the
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 your skin and
shave against the direction of beard
growth.
• To ensure optimum shaving performance, we recommend to replace the shaver foil and cutter
block every 18 months, or when
the parts are worn.
Keeping your shaver in top
shape
Before cleaning, always unplug the
shaver.
Cleaning under running water
After each shave, turn on the shaver
and clean it under running hot water.
Occasionally use soap (natural based
liquid soap without particles and
abrasive substances). Then rinse off all
foam and let the shaver run for another
moment.
Brush cleaning
Instead of cleaning under running water,
you may clean your shaver with a dry
8

brush: turn the shaver off, remove the foil
frame and, using the brush provided,
clean the cutter block and the area
below the cutter block. To clean
underneath the long hair trimmer, push
the switch to «clean».
Do not clean the shaver foil with the
brush.
General cleaning
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 shaver foil.
Replacing the shaving parts
The shaver foil and cutter block are
precision parts that, in time, are subject
to wear. To exchange the shaver foil,
remove it from the foil frame as shown in
the illustrations. Lift the foil first on the
front side, then the back. Be careful that
you do not squeeze the foil too tightly
while removing or replacing.
Replace your shaver foil and cutter block
every 18 months and get a 25% better
shave.*

Service Centers)

comparing their shave with new parts
and those used for 18 months.)
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 again.
• Do not expose the shaver to temperatures of more than 50°C or 122°F for
longer periods of time.
