9 Shaver display 9a Charging lights (green) 9b Low-charge light (red) 9c Replacement symbol 10 Shaver power socket 11 Travel case 12 Special cord set (design can differ)

Charging

Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 41 °F to 95 °F / 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 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 cord set (12), connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the

motor switched off and charge it for at least one hour.

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

according to your beard growth.

Charging lights (9a) The green charging lights 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 connected to an electrical outlet. Some minutes after completing the charging, the shaver switches to the stand-by-mode: The display turns off.

Low-charge light (9b) The red low-charge light flashes when the battery is running low. The remaining battery capacity is sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Using the shaver

How to use

Press the on/off switch (5) to operate the shaver: 8

• The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of

your face.

• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose), first slide the shaver head to the

back position, afterwards move the head lock switch (3) to the back. The pivoting head is locked at this angle.

• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer (4)

upwards.

Tips for the perfect dry shave

For best shaving 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.

Personalizing your shaver

By holding down the accelerator button –/+ (6) or (7) you can adjust the shaving power to your individual needs in the different areas of your face from sensitive to intensive. The pilot light in the on/off switch (5) changes within the following range:

(–) sensitive shave – light blue – dark blue – green (+) intensive shave

For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the green (intensive) setting. When switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.

Cleaning

Cleaning under running water

• Switch the shaver on (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.

• Next, switch off the shaver, press the release button (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter

cassette (1) and let it dry. The shaver shall not be used until it has dried completely.

• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light

machine oil (not included) on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette and the long hair trimmer.

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 a brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette / reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), when the replacement symbol (9c) lights up on the shaver display (after about 18 months) or when cassette is worn. The replacement symbol will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the Foil & Cutter cassette. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette, use a ball-pen to push the reset button (8) for at least 3 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.
