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 w, 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.

Shaver display

The shaver display 9 shows the charge status of the battery. During charging or when using the shaver, the respective green charge status will blink. When the battery is fully charged the green charge status will light up continuously, 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.

6

The red indicator flashes when the battery is running low, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Using your shaver

Personalizing your shaver

With the (–) 6 and (+) 7 buttons you can choose the best setting for shaving different areas of your face and as per your specific needs.

The different settings are indicated by the pilot light incorporated in the on/off switch 5:

•dark blue (powerful shave)

•light blue (normal)

•white (for a thorough comfortable shave in sensitive areas of your face such as neck)

For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the (+) setting.

When switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.

Tips for the perfect dry 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.

How to use

Press the on/off switch 5 to operate the shaver:

•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) slide the shaver head lock switch 3 to the back position to lock the pivoting head at an angle.

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

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:

•Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues are 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.

•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.

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver 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. However, do not clean the foil and cutter 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 lights up on the shaver display 9 (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.
