Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you enjoy your new Gillette Shaver.

Warning

Your shaver is provided with a special cord set, which has an integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or tamper with any part of it, otherwise there is risk of electric shock.

Description

1 Shaver foil 2 Cutter block 3 Foil release buttons 4 Long hair trimmer 5 Comfort setting switch «sensitive» 6 On/off switch 7 Shaver display 8 Replacement light for shaving parts 9 Reset button 10 Shaver power socket 11 Special cord set 12 Etui

Shaver display

The shaver display (7) shows the charge status of the battery. Model 560: During charging or when using the shaver, the respective green battery segment will blink. When fully charged, all green segments will light up continuously, provided the shaver is switched on or connected to an electrical outlet. (Modell 550: 1 green charging segment only.)

The red low charge segment 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.

Shaving

Press the on/off switch (6) to operate the shaver.

Comfort setting switch «sensitive»

Setting the shaver head according to your comfort needs.

Charging

The best environmental temperature for charging is between 5 °C and 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

Using the special cord set (11), connect the

• shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off and charge it for at least one hour.

A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of

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

If the rechargeable battery has run out of

• power (discharged), you may also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

The «sensitive» switch (5) provides three options for comfort setting:

1 « + » :

The shaver head is in full swing, freely follows the contours of your skin to provide more comfort.

2 middle position:

The shaver head is semi-fixed for more control.

3 « – » :

The shaver head is fixed for full control and precise handling in hard to reach areas.

Long hair trimmer

To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the long hair trimmer (4) upwards.

Tips for the perfect shave

For best shaving 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.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Replacing the shaver foil and cutter block / reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2), when the replacement symbol (8) lights up (after about 18 months) or when worn.

Cleaning

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

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:

Switch the shaver on (cordless) 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, press the foil

• release buttons (3) to remove the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2). Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry. If you regularly clean the shaver under

• water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil.

The following quick cleaning is another alternative cleaning method:

Press the foil release buttons (3) 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. Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver

• foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil nor the cutter block with the brush as this will damage them.

The replacement symbol will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the shaving parts. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil and cutter block), use a ball-pen to push the reset button (9) 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.
