Our products are designed to meet the highest

English

standards of quality, functionality and design.

We hope you enjoy your new Braun Shaver.

Warning

Your shaving system is provided with a special

cord set, which has an integrated Safety Extra

Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or

STOPSTOP

tamper with any part of it, otherwise there is risk

of an electric shock.

This appliance is not intended for use by children

or persons with reduced physical or mental

capabilities, unless they are supervised by a

person responsible for their safety. In general,

we recommend that you keep the appliance out

of reach of children.

To prevent the cleaning fl uid from leaking, ensure

that the Clean&Renew station is placed on a fl at

surface. When a cleaning cartridge is installed,

do not tip, move suddenly or transport the

station in any way as cleaning fl uid might spill

out of the cartridge. Do not place the station

inside a mirror cabinet, nor over a radiator, nor

place it on a polished or lacquered surface.

The cleaning cartridge contains a highly

fl ammable liquid so keep it away from sources of

ignition. Do not smoke near the station. Do not

expose to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Do not refi ll the cartridge and use only original

Braun refi ll cartridges.

Whilst cleaning is in progress, the respective

cleaning program indicator will blink. Each

cleaning program consists of several cycles,

where cleaning fl uid is fl ushed through the

shaver head and a heat drying process dries

the shaver. Depending on the program selected

the total cleaning time will range from 32 to 43

minutes.

The cleaning programs should not be inter-

rupted. Please note that whilst the shaver is

drying, the shaving head may be hot and wet.

decreasing charge the segments gradually

disappear.

station. When the shaver is being used, the

hygiene segments will gradually disappear.

Once the shaver is returned to the station, the

system will automatically select the appropriate

cleaning program and restore the segments

to maximum hygiene. Given that rinsing the

shaver under tap water is not as hygienic as the

cleaning station, the hygiene segments will only

restore themselves when the shaver has been

cleaned in the Clean&Renew station.

Charging information

• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes

of cordless shaving time. This may vary

according to your beard growth.

• The best environmental temperature for

charging is between 5 °C to 35 °C. Do not

expose the shaver to temperatures higher than

50 °C for extended periods of time.

Personalizing your shaver

Personalizing your shaver

With the «sensitive» e and «intensive» r

buttons you can choose the best setting for

shaving different areas of your face and as per

your specifi c needs. The different settings are

indicated by the pilot light incorporated in the

on/off switch w:

• «Intensive» = dark blue (powerful shave)

• «Normal» = light blue

• «Sensitive» = white (for a thorough comfortable

shave in sensitive areas of your

face such as neck)

For a thorough and fast shave we recommend

the «intensive» setting.

Pressing the « + » or « – » button activates your

preferred setting. When switching on next time,

the last used setting will be activated.

How to use

Press the on/off switch

w to operate the shaver:

• The pivoting shaver head and fl oating foils

automatically adjust to every contour of your

face.

• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the

nose) slide the shaver head «lock» switch

0 to

the back position to lock the pivoting head at

an angle.

• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide

the pop-out long hair trimmer upwards.

Tips for the perfect shave

For best shaving results, Braun recommends you

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.

Shaving with the cord

If the shaver has run out of power (discharged),

and you do not have the time to recharge it in the

Clean&Renew station, you may also shave with

the shaver connected to an electrical outlet via

the special cord set.

Cleaning

Automatic cleaning

After each shave, return the shaver to the

Clean&Renew station and proceed as described

above in the section «Before shaving».

All charging and cleaning needs are then

automatically taken care of. With daily use, a

cleaning cartridge should be suffi cient for about

30 cleaning cycles.

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains alcohol,

which once opened will naturally evaporate

slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge,

if not used daily, should be replaced after

approximately 8 weeks.

The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants,

which may leave residual marks on the outer foil

frame after cleaning. However, these marks can

be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth

or soft tissue paper.

Manual 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.

Rinsing the shaving head under running water

trimmer

is an alternative way to keep the shaver clean,

especially when travelling:

• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse

the shaving 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 release

button 9 to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette

8 and let it dry.

oil

• 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 the

brush provided:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter

cassette 8 and tap it out on a fl at surface.

Using the brush, clean the inner area of the

pivoting head. However, do not clean the

cassette with the brush as this may damage it.

Cleaning the housing

From time to time clean the housing of the

shaver and the Clean&Renew station with a

damp cloth, especially inside the cleaning

chamber where the shaver rests.

Replacing the cleaning cartridge

After having pressed the lift button 2 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.
