Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time. • Using the special cord set (10), connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off. • When charging for the first time or when the shaver is not used for a few months, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour. • A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on your beard growth. • Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/ discharging cycles. • 5-minute quick charge with the special cord set (10) is sufficient for a shave. • If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set. 7

When the battery is fully charged, all green charging lights shine permanently, provided the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet.

The centre trimmer and one foil will be lowered. Tips for the perfect dry shave For best 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.

Keeping your shaver in top shape (B) Cleaning indicator Your shaver should be cleaned daily in the Clean&Renew, and particularly when the yellow cleaning light (7) shines constantly after shaving. If this is not done, the yellow light will go off after some time. The shaver’s electronics will then assume it has been cleaned manually and a new calculation of the time when the next cleaning is required will be started. During the cleaning process in the Clean&Renew the yellow light will flash and will go off after approx. 4 hours when cleaning is finished. Automatic cleaning Once the shaver is put into the Clean&Renew, it is cleaned automatically (see «Clean&Renew (C)»). 8

96314373_390cc4_S6-112_CEE.indd 8

Manual cleaning is recommended only when the Clean&Renew is not available, e. g. when travelling. Manual cleaning Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean: • Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver 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, remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and let it dry. • If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer (2) and Foil & Cutter cassette (1). Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush: • Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it out on a flat surface. • Using a brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it. Replacement light for shaving parts/Reset To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), when the replacement light for shaving parts (8) comes on (after about 18 months) or when worn. The replacement light will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the foil and cutter cassette. Then the shaver will automatically reset. After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), press the on/off switch (4) for at least 5 seconds to reset the counter. While doing so, the replacement light blinks and goes off when the reset is complete. The manual reset can be done at any time. 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.

Clean&Renew (C) Braun Clean&Renew has been developed for cleaning, charging and storing your shaver. Clean your shaver daily in the Clean&Renew. During the automated cleaning process, the shaver is switched on and off at intervals to obtain best cleaning results. Since the specially formulated cleaning fluid contains a small amount of oil, the cleaning procedure also fulfils the lubrication needs of the shaver.

Start/release button Contact bow Lift button for cartridge exchange Level indicator Cleaning cartridge

Installing the cartridge • Press the lift button (3) to open the housing. • Hold the cartridge down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table). Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge. Slide the cartridge into the base as far as it will go. • Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks. Replacing the cartridge After having pressed the lift button to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge. 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 used cartridge can be disposed of in the household waste.

Operating your Clean&Renew • Connect your Clean&Renew with the cord set to the mains electricity supply. The special socket at the back is adjustable to save space. After each shave, switch the shaver off and put it into the Clean&Renew, upside down and with the front showing. • Push the start/release button (1) to lock and connect the shaver. The cleaning process will start. The yellow light on the shaver will flash during the complete process. 10

• Do not interrupt the cleaning process, as it leaves the shaver wet and not fit for use. If interruption is needed nonetheless, press the start/release button (1). • When cleaning is finished, the yellow light will go off. To release it, push the start/release button. • A cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles. When the level indicator (4) has reached the mark, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 5 more cleaning cycles. Then the cartridge should be replaced, when used daily approx. every 4 weeks. • The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or isopropanol (dependent on country – specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal disinfection. • The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants, which may leave residual marks on the shaver head after cleaning. However, these marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft tissue paper. • Clean the housing from time to time with a damp cloth, especially the opening where the shaver rests.
