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.

Preserving the batteries

In order to maintain the optimum capacity

of the rechargeable batteries, the shaver

has to be fully discharged (by shaving) 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.

Replacing the shaving parts

To maintain 100% shaving performance,

replace your foil and cutter block every 18

months or when worn. Change both parts at

the same time for a closer shave with less skin

irritation.
