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 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.
• As soon as you start charging the shaver, 
the charging light (6) comes on. 
• Once the shaver is completely charged, 
discharge the shaver through normal use. 
Then recharge to full capacity.
• A full charge will give up to 40 minutes of 
cordless shaving time depending on your 
beard growth. However, the maximum 
battery capacity will only be reached after 
several charging/discharging cycles.
• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the 
special cord set.
Trimmer: 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 the 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. 
Cleaning
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving 
performance. Rinsing the shaving head after 
each shave under hot 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. 
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 the shaver off and press the 
release buttons. Lift the shaver foil off and 
pull the cutter block out. Then leave the 
disassembled shaving parts to dry.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using 
the brush provided.
• Switch the shaver off. Press the release 
buttons and lift shaver foil off. 
• 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.
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. 
Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance, 
replace your foil and cutter block every 
18 months or when worn. Change both parts 
at the same time for a closer shave with less 
skin irritation.
