C & C Installation

• Remove the protection foil from the C & C display.
• Press the lift button (13) at the rear side of the C & C to lift the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (17) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g., a table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
• Slide the cartridge from the rear side into the base of the station until it snaps in.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
• Using the power supply (10), connect the station power socket (12) to an electrical outlet.

C & C Usage

Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam, gel, or soap residue!

• Insert the shaver in the C & C upside down, with the front showing and head lock (3) released.
• The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts (14) in the C & C. Push the shaver backwards in the correct position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the C & C.
• Only C & C with cleaning program selection: The C & C analyses the hygiene status. The status is shown by the cleaning program indicators (15c) in the C & C display (15).

Charging the shaver in the C & C

Charging will start automatically when the shaver has been inserted properly.

Cleaning the shaver in the C & C

When the cleaning indicator lights up on the shaver display, insert the shaver into the C & C, as described above.

Short / economical cleaning, normal level of cleaning, intensive cleaning

Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head.

Automatic cleaning

Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button (16). If the status light (15b) does not shine (C & C switches to stand-by after about 10 minutes), press the start button twice. Otherwise, cleaning will not start.

Depending on your model and/or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes. During this time, the status light (15b) blinks.

After cleaning and charging is completed, all indicators turn off.

Leave the shaver in the C & C for drying. It takes several hours until remaining moisture evaporates, depending on the climatic conditions.

Removing the shaver from the C & C

Hold the C & C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning cartridge / replacement

When the level indicator (15a) lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced – about every 4 weeks when used daily.

After having pressed the lift button (13) 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.

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Therefore, each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks. The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for the shaving system, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of the C & C. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth and do not impact the shaver and its performance in any way.

Accessories

Braun recommends changing your shaver's Foil & Cutter cassette every 18 months to maintain your shaver's maximum performance.

Available at your dealer or Braun Service Centres:
