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 cutter block and the inner area
of the pivoting head.
However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as
this may damage the foil.
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 re-
chargeable 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.
Tips for the perfect shave
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 at least every 18 months or
when worn.
