Charging the shaver
• When charging for the first time
power supply cord set, connect the shaver
to the mains with the motor switched off.
Charge it for at least 4 hours (special cord
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 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.
• Best environmental temperature range for
charging is 15 °C to 35 °C.
• When fully discharged, you may also shave
with the shaver connected to the mains via
the power supply cord set.

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 maintain 100% shaving performance
replace your foil and cutterblock every
18 month 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 button (shaver head must be in
central position). 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
button 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 (through normal use) 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.
