Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you enjoy your new Gillette shaver powered by Braun. The system tells you when to replace the shaving foil and cutter block.
Warning

Keep the appliance dry. Your shaver is provided with a special cord set with integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or manipulate any part of it. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

Charging the shaver
• When charging for the first time: Using the special cord
set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet. The shaver must be switched off. Charge it for at least 4 hours (special cord set and shaver might get warm). Once the shaver is completely charged, shave until fully discharged. Then recharge to full capacity again (1 hour).
• A full charge will give up to 50 minutes of cordless
shaving time, depending on your beard growth. However, the maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.
• Best environmental temperature range for charging is
from 15 °C to 35 °C.
• When fully discharged, you may also shave with the
shaver connected to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

Pilot light (11): The shaver is connected to an electrical outlet.
Model 550: charging lights (7) will light up (20% per light), provided the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet or switched on.
The red low charge light (8) flashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Tips for the perfect shave

on
off
+
• We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block, when the replacement light (9) comes on (after about 18 months), or when worn.
Cleaning
Never use water to clean the shaver. For easy cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver off. Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do not remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can fall out. Then remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the shaver foil nor the cutter block with the brush as this may damage them.

Keeping your shaver in top shape
About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents. Put a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and the shaver foil.
Replacement light for shaving parts / Reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block, when the replacement light for shaving parts (9) comes on (after about 18 months) or when worn. Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation. (Shaver foil and cutter block: 51S)
The replacement light will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the shaving parts. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.
Page 13
After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil and cutter block), use a ball-pen to push the reset button (10) 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.
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the re­chargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged (through normal use) every 6 months approximately. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
