Warning

To prevent the cleaning fl uid from leaking, ensure
that the Clean&Renew station is placed on a fl at

do not tip, move suddenly or transport the
station in any way, as cleaning fl uid might spill
out of the cartridge. Do not place the station
inside a mirror cabinet, over a radiator, or on a
polished or lacquered surface.

The cleaning cartridge contains a highly
fl ammable liquid, so keep it away from sources
of ignition. Do not expose to direct sunlight,
smoke nearby, or store it over a radiator.
Keep it out of reach of children.

Do not refi ll the cleaning cartridge. Use only
original Braun refi ll cartridges.

This appliance is designed for household use
only.

Before shaving

trimmer

Prior to fi rst use you must connect the shaver to
an electrical outlet using the special cord set p
or alternatively proceed as below.

Installing the Clean&Renew station

• Using the special cord set

p, connect the

station power socket 6 to an electrical outlet.

• Press the lift button 2 to open the housing.

• Hold the cleaning cartridge 7 down on a fl at,

stable surface (e.g. table).

• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.

• Slide the cartridge into the base of the station

as far as it will go.

• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down

until it locks.

The cleaning fl uid display 1 will show how much
fl uid is in the cartridge:

up to 30 cleaning cycles available
up to 7 cleaning cycles remaining
new cartridge required

Charging and cleaning the shaver

Insert the shaver head down into the cleaning
station. (The contacts u on the back of the
shaver will align with the contacts 3 in the
cleaning station).

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

If required, the Clean&Renew station will auto­matically charge the shaver. The hygiene status
of the shaver will also be analyzed and one of
the following cleaning program indicators

5 will

light up:

shaver is clean
short economical cleaning required

normal level of cleaning required

high intensive cleaning required

If the station selects one of the required cleaning
programs, it will not start unless you press the
start button 4. For best shaving results, we

recommend cleaning after each shave.

7

While cleaning is in progress, the respective
cleaning program indicator will blink. Each
cleaning program consists of several cycles,
where cleaning fl uid is fl ushed through the
shaver head and a heat drying process dries
the shaver. Depending on the program selected
the total cleaning time will range from 32 to 43
minutes.

The cleaning programs should not be inter­rupted. Please note that while the shaver is
drying, the shaving head may be hot and wet.
When the program is fi nished, the blue
indicator will light up. Your shaver is now clean
and ready for use.

Fast cleaning

Push the fast clean button D to activate
the fast clean program without drying. This
program takes about 25 seconds only and is
recommended when you do not have time to
wait for one of the automatic cleaning programs.
If you remove the shaver just after the program
has fi nished, wipe off the shaver head with a
tissue to avoid dripping.

Stand-by mode

10 minutes after completing the charging or
cleaning session, the Clean&Renew station
switches to the stand-by mode: The indicators
of the Clean&Renew station turn off.

The shaver display z shows the charge status of
the battery on the left, and the hygiene status on
the right. (6 dark segments are shown on each
side when the battery is fully charged and the
shaver is hygienically clean).

Battery segments:

During charging or when using the shaver, the
respective battery segments will blink. When
fully charged all 6 segments are shown. With
decreasing charge the segments gradually
disappear.

Low charge indicator:
The low charge indicator provided with a red
frame blinks to indicate that the charge has
dropped below 20%. The remaining battery
capacity is suffi cient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Hygiene segments:

b

a

t

y

All 6 hygiene segments will appear after the
shaver has been cleaned in the Clean&Renew
station. When the shaver is being used, the
hygiene segments will gradually disappear.
Once the shaver is returned to the station, the
system will automatically select the appropriate
cleaning program and restore the segments
to maximum hygiene. Given that rinsing the
shaver under tap water is not as hygienic as the
cleaning station, the hygiene segments will only
restore themselves when the shaver has been
cleaned in the Clean&Renew station.

Charging information

• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes

of cordless shaving time. This may vary
according to your beard growth.

• The best environmental temperature for

charging is between 41 °F to 95 °F / 5 °C to
35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to
temperatures higher than 122 °F / 50 °C for
extended periods of time.

Tips for the perfect shave

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

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.

Automatic cleaning

After each shave, return the shaver to the
Clean&Renew station and proceed as described

t
r
imme

r

above in the section «Before shaving».
All charging and cleaning needs are then
automatically taken care of. With daily use, a
cleaning cartridge should be suffi cient for about
30 cleaning cycles.

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains alcohol,
which once opened will naturally evaporate
slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge,
if not used daily, should be replaced after
approximately 8 weeks.

The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants,
which may leave residual marks on the outer foil
frame after cleaning. However, these marks can
be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth
or soft tissue paper.

Manual cleaning

s

Rinsing the shaving head under running water
is an alternative way to keep the shaver clean,
especially when travelling:

• Switch the shaver on (cordless) w and rinse
the shaving 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 release
button 9 to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette

8 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 using the
brush provided:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter
cassette 8 and tap it out on a fl at surface.
Using the brush, clean the inner area of the
pivoting head. However, do not clean the
cassette with the brush as this may damage it.

Cleaning the housing

From time to time clean the housing of the
shaver and the Clean&Renew station with a
damp cloth, especially inside the cleaning
chamber where the shaver rests.

Replacing the cleaning cartridge

After having pressed the lift button 2 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.
