Charging
The best environmental temperature for

expose the shaver to temperatures higher
than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
Using the special cord set (11), 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 45 minutes of
•
cordless shaving time. This may vary
according to your beard growth.
If the rechargeable battery has run out of
•
power (discharged), you may also shave by
connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet
via the special cord set.

The shaver display (7) shows the charge
status of the battery.
Model 560: During charging or when using
the shaver, the respective green battery
segment will blink. When fully charged, all
green segments will light up continuously,
provided the shaver is switched on or
connected to an electrical outlet.
(Model 550: 1 green charging segment only.)

The remaining capacity will then be sufficient

Tips for the perfect shave
For best shaving results, Braun
recommends you to 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.

Replacing the shaver foil and cutter
block / reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2),
when the replacement symbol (8) lights up
(after about 18 months) or when worn.
Cleaning
The shaver head is suitable for
cleaning under running tap water.
Warning: Detach the shaver from the
power supply before cleaning the
shaver head in water.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving
performance. Rinsing the shaving head under
running water after each shave is an easy
and fast way to keep it clean (A):
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, press the foil
•
release buttons (3) to remove the shaver
foil (1) and cutter block (2). Then leave the
disassembled shaving parts to 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
and shaver foil.
The following quick cleaning is another
alternative cleaning method (B):
Press the foil release buttons (3) to lift
•
the shaver foil (do not remove the foil
completely). Switch on the shaver for
approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved
stubbles can fall out.
Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver
•
foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using
the brush, clean the inner area of the
shaver head. However, do not clean the
shaver foil nor the cutter block with the
brush as this will damage them.

The replacement symbol will remind you
during the next 7 shaves to replace the
shaving parts. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.
After you have replaced the shaving parts
(foil and cutter block), use a ball-pen to push
the reset button (9) 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.
