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
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 the following operating

times depending on your beard growth and
environmental temperatures:
– ca. 45 minutes without activated cooling function

– ca. 15 minutes with activated cooling function;

afterwards 20 minutes operation time without
cooling function.

• 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.

• When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet,

it may take some minutes until the display illuminates.

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).

To activate the cooling function, press the cooling
switch (3) during shaving. The symbol
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.

The symbol in the cooling switch (3) 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. We recommend to charge the
appliance afterwards to have the cooling function
available for the next shave.

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

release button (8) and slide the long hair trimmer (6)

• Switch the shaver on and rinse the shaver head

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:

• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it

• Using the special cord set (10), connect the

station power socket (13) to an electrical outlet.

Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge station

Insert the shaver head down into the Clean&Charge
station.

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

The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to
align with the contacts (15) in the Clean&Charge
station. Push the shaver in the correct position.
A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly
in the station. The Clean&Charge station will
automatically charge the shaver.

Cleaning the shaver

When the cleaning indicator
display, insert the shaver into the Clean&Charge
station, upside down and with the front showing.

Start automatic cleaning

Start the cleaning process by pressing the start
button (17). If the status light (16b) does not shine
(Clean&Charge station switches to stand-by after
about 10 minutes), press the start button twice.
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.

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 ethanol or
izopropanol (dependent on country – specification
see cartridge), 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.
