First use and Charging

Prior to first use, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet using the charging shell as described below, or for models CT6cc/CT5cc/CT4cc/CT3cc/CT2cc use the Clean&Charge station (see Chapter «Automatic Clean&Charge station description»).

Note: The shaver can only be charged via the charging shell or the Clean&Charge station. Models CT4s/CT2s must not be used with the Clean&Charge station.

Charging shell (see fig. B)

• Click the charging shell (12a) onto the stand (12c

- models CT4s/CT2s only). Using the special cord set (10), connect the shell power socket (12b) to an electrical outlet.

• Place the shaver into the charging shell. The

contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts (12d) in the charging shell. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the station.

• The shaver will be automatically charged.

Charging and basic operating information

• A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of shaving time (up to 15 minutes with activated cooling function). This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.

• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 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 15 °C to 35 °C.

• Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

Tips for a perfect dry shave

For best 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.

Cooling Note: The cooling sensation experienced may differ

from person to person. It is influenced by personal and environmental factors (e.g. skin, environmental temperature).

Activation: To activate the cooling function, press the cooling switch (3) during shaving. The symbol in the cooling switch shines blue. For best cooling performance, we recommend to wait a few seconds after the cooling function has been activated. Then continue shaving as usual.

Low battery: The symbol starts blinking when the battery is running low and there is not enough energy left for the cooling function. You should be able to finish your shave with activated cooling function.

You can deactivate the cooling function by pressing the cooling switch again.

Long hair trimmer

Manual cleaning of the shaver

(see fig. C/D)

The shaver is suitable for cleaning under running tap water. Detach the shaver from the power supply before cleaning it in water.

• Switch the shaver on 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, remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and let it dry.

• 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 a brush:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using a brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it!

Clean&Charge station

lights up in the shaver

Otherwise cleaning will not start. For best shaving

results, we recommend cleaning after each shave.

The cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. The cleaning time takes 3 minutes. During this time the status light of the Clean&Charge station blinks.

Leave the shaver in the station for drying. It takes several hours until remaining moisture evaporates depending on the climatic conditions. Afterwards the shaver is ready for use.

After completing the cleaning and charging session, the indicators of the Clean&Charge station turn off.

Environmental notice

This appliance contains rechargeable batteries. To protect the environment, do not dispose of the appliance in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Center or appropriate collection sites.

The cleaning cartridge can be disposed of with regular household waste.

Subject to change without notice.

Removing the shaver from the Clean&Charge station (see fig. F)

Hold the Clean&Charge station with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. G) When the level indicator

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 3–4 weeks when used daily).

After having pressed the lift button (14) 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 denatured ethanol, which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal disinfection.

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 after cleaning. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.
