4 Keeping your shaver in top shape
4.1 Cleaning
• After shaving, switch the shaver off. Remove the foil frame
2
(e) and gently tap it
out on a flat surface.
• Then thoroughly clean the cutter block
3
with the brush (f). About every four weeks,
clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents.
• Do not clean the shaving foil with the brush.
• If you have a very dry skin and you notice a reduced operation time of the shaver,
you should put a drop of sewing machine oil onto the shaving frame.
4.2 Changing the shaving parts
• To maintain optimum shaving performance, we recommend to replace the shaving
frame and the cutter block every 1
ó
year or when these parts are worn.
• Pull off the foil frame (e). Replace the new foil frame in the right direction until it locks
in place.
• To remove the cutter block, set it in crosswise position and lift it off (g). To replace
the cutter block, snap onto the holding studs (h).
4.3 Preserving the cell unit
• In order to maintain the capacity of the cell unit, the shaver has to be discharged by
shaving every 6 months approximately. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity
again.
• Do not expose the shaver to temperatures of more than 50 °C for longer periods of
time.

Tips for the perfect shave
• We recommend to 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.
