Warning
Clean&Charge Station (not with all models)
To prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking, ensure that the Clean&Charge Station is
placed on a flat surface. When a cleaning cartridge is installed, do not tip, move
suddenly or transport the station in any way as cleaning fluid might spill out of the
cartridge.
Do not place the station inside a mirror cabinet, nor place it on a polished or
lacquered surface.
The cleaning cartridge contains a highly flammable liquid so keep it away from
sources of ignition. Do not expose to direct sunlight and cigarette smoking nor store
it over a radiator.
Do not refill the cartridge and use only original Braun refill cartridges.

Charging and basic operating information
• When charging for the first time, charge continuously for 1 hour.
• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary
according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.
• 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.
• When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, it may take some minutes until
the display illuminates.
Shaver display
Charge status
The shaver display (5) shows the charge status of the battery when connected to an
electrical outlet:
• During charging the respective battery segment will blink.
• When fully charged all battery segments will light up for a few seconds then the
display turns off.
Low charge
The low-charge light flashes red when the battery is running low. You should be able
to finish your shave. With switching off the shaver a beep sound reminds of the low
charge status. The last 9 minutes of remaining shaving time are displayed in digits
(depending on your model / display).
Cleaning status (only models with Clean & Charge Station)
The cleaning indicator lights up when the shaver needs to be cleaned in the

It will automatically click into the next position.

Manual cleaning of the shaver (see fig. B/C)
Cleaning under running water
• Switch on the shaver (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 buttons (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter
cassette (1) and let it dry 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 the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the
cassette with the brush as this may damage it!
The Foil & Cutter cassette can be attached either way. There is no impact on the
shaving performance.
Clean&Charge Station (not with all models)
The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating,
drying and storing your Braun shaver.

Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. D)
Insert the shaver head with the front showing and released head lock into the cleaning
station. Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap
residue!

The cleaning process consists of several cycles, in which cleaning fluid is flushed
through the shaver head. Depending on the program selected, the cleaning time takes
up to 3 minutes, followed by an active drying phase of about 40 minutes, during which a
fan is running.
Afterwards charging will resume, which is indicated in the shaver display. When the
shaver is fully charged the display turns off.

short economical cleaning
normal level of cleaning
high intensive cleaning
Removing the shaver from the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. E)
Hold the Clean&Charge Station with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to
release it.
Cleaning Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. F)
When the level indicator (15a) lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid in the
cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator blinks red, the
cartridge needs to be replaced (about every 3 weeks when used daily).
After having pressed the lift button (13) 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.
The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains alcohol or isopropanol (specification see
cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not used
daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks. The cleaning cartridge also
contains lubricants for the shaving system, which may leave residual marks on the outer
foil frame and the cleaning chamber of the Clean&Charge Station. These marks can be
removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.
