Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and
design. Thank you for your trust in Braun’s quality and we hope you enjoy your new
Braun product.

Read these instructions completely, they contain safety information. Keep them
for future reference.

Warning

Your appliance is provided with a special cord set, which has an
integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not
exchange or tamper with any part of it, otherwise there is risk of an
electric shock. Only use the special cord set provided with your
appliance.

If the appliance is marked

492, you can use it with any

Braun power supply coded 492-XXXX.

This appliance is suitable for cleaning under running water
and use in a bathtub or shower. For safety reasons it can

only be operated cordless.

Detach the shaver from the power supply before using it with
water.

Do not shave with a damaged foil or cord.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and

above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa­bilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance
and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children unless they are older than 8 years and supervised.

Clean&Charge Station

To prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking, ensure that the
Clean&Charge Station is placed on a flat surface. When a cleaning
cartridge is installed, do not tip, move suddenly or transport the
station in any way as cleaning fluid might spill out of the cartridge.
Do not place the station inside a mirror cabinet, nor place it on a
polished or lacquered surface.

The cleaning cartridge contains a highly flammable liquid so keep
it away from sources of ignition. Do not expose to direct sunlight
and cigarette smoking nor store it over a radiator.

Do not refill the cartridge and use only original Braun refill
cartridges.

First use and charging

Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10a) into
the shaver power socket (9) / the charging stand (10b) or for cc models via the
Clean&Charge Station (see Chapter «Clean&Charge Station»).

Basic operating information

• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary

according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.

• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may

not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures.

• Recommended ambient temperature for storage and shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C.

• Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods

of time.

• When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, it may take some minutes until

the display illuminates.

15

Charging / low charge

The charge status is shown in the shaver display (5).

• During charging the respective charging segment (5b) will blink.

• When the shaver is fully charged and connected to an electrical outlet, all 3 charging

segments will light up for a few seconds. Then the display turns off.

• The battery symbol (5d) will flash red, when the battery is running low. You should be

able to finish your shave. With switching off the shaver a beep sound reminds of the
low charge status.

Using the shaver

Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the shaver.

Tips for a perfect dry shave

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

1. Always shave before washing your face.

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

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

MultiHeadLock switch (head lock)

• To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the MultiHeadLock switch

(3) down to lock the shaver head.

• The shaver head can be locked in five positions. To change position, move the shaver

head with your thumb and forefinger back or forth. It will automatically click into the
next position.

• For automatic cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station the head lock should be released.

Long hair trimmer

To trim sideburns, moustache or beard press the release button (8) and slide the long
hair trimmer (6) upwards.

Travel lock

• The lock symbol (5a) lights up in the display when the shaver has been locked to

avoid unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing it in a suitcase).

• Activation: By pressing the on/off switch (4) for 3 seconds the shaver is locked. This is

confirmed by a beep sound and the lock symbol in the display. Afterwards the display
turns off.

• Deactivation: By pressing the on/off switch for 3 seconds again the shaver is

unlocked.

Manual cleaning of the shaver

Cleaning under running water

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

water until all residues have been removed. You may use liquid soap without

abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.

16

• Next, switch off the shaver, press the release button (2) to remove the 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 on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.

The shaver should be cleaned after each foam usage.

Cleaning with a brush

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat

surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the
cassette with the brush as this may damage it!

Clean&Charge Station (C&C) (not with all models)

The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating,
disinfecting, drying and storing your Braun shaver.

13 Station power socket
14 Lift button for cartridge exchange
15 Station-to-shaver contacts
16 Clean&Charge Station display
16 a Level indicator
16 b Status light
16 c Cleaning program indicators
17 Start button
18 Cleaning cartridge

Installing the C&C

• Remove the protection foil from the C&C display.

• Press the lift button (14) at the rear side of the C&C to lift up the housing.

• Hold the cleaning cartridge (18) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).

• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.

• Slide the cartridge from the rear side into the base of the station until it snaps into place.

• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.

• Using the special cord set (10a), connect the station power socket (13) to an

electrical outlet.

Using the C&C

Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap residue!

Insert the shaver in the C&C upside down, with the front showing and released head
lock (3).
The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts (15) in the
C&C. Push the shaver in the correct position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver
sits properly in the C&C.
The C&C analyzes the hygiene status. The status is shown by the cleaning program
indicators (16c) in the C&C display (16).

17

Charging the shaver in the C&C

Charging will start automatically when the shaver has been placed in properly.

Cleaning the shaver in the C&C

When the cleaning indicator (5c) lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into
the C&C, as described above.

Cleaning programs

short economical cleaning

normal level of cleaning

high intensive cleaning

Start automatic cleaning

Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button (17). If status light (16b) does
not shine (C&C switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice.
Otherwise cleaning will not start. For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning

after each shave.

Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed
through the shaver head. Depending on your Clean&Charge Station model and/or
program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes. During this time the status
light blinks. Leave the shaver in the station for drying. It takes several hours until
remaining moisture evaporates depending on the climatic conditions.

After completing the cleaning and charging procedure, all indicators turn off.

Removing the shaver from the C&C

Hold the C&C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning cartridge / Replacement

When the level indicator (16a) lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid in the
cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator blinks red, the
cartridge needs to be replaced – about every 4 weeks when used daily.

After having pressed the lift button (14) to open the housing, wait for a few seconds
before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. 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.

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or isopropanol (specification see
cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not
used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal
disinfection. The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for the shaving system,

18

which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of the
C&C. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.

Accessories

Braun recommends changing your shaver’s Foil & Cutter cassette every 18 months to
maintain your shaver’s maximum performance.
Available at your dealer or Braun Service Centres:

• Foil & Cutter cassette: 52S/52B

• Cleaning Cartridge: CCR

• Braun Shaver cleaner spray

Environmental notice

Product contains batteries and/or recyclable electric waste. For environment
protection do not dispose of in household waste, but for recycling take to electric
waste collection points provided in your country.

The cleaning cartridge can be disposed of with regular household waste.

Subject to change without notice.
