Foil protection cap Shaver foil Cutter block Long hair trimmer Charging light On/off switch Special cord set Charging The best environmental temperature for charging is between 60 °F to 95 °F/ 15 °C to 35 °C.

• Using the special cord set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.
• When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours. The green charging light (5) shows that the shaver is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light intermittently blinks on and off. This indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity.
• A full charge provides up to 30 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on your beard growth.
• Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour.
• Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/ discharging cycles.
• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set. Shaving Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch (6). The floating foil frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave. For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the long hair trimmer (4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with the foil.

• It can take 14–21 days for your beard to adjust to the new shaving system.
• Shave before washing your face or taking a shower, as skin tends to swell after washing.
• The drier the skin, the closer the shave will be.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch the 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. Cleaning The hand-held unit shall be detached from the power supply cord before cleaning. The shaver shall not be used until it has dried. Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving head under hot running water (b). A natural based soap may also be used provided it contains no particles or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry. Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided (c):
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil.
• Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil.

FIX_1775_NA Seite 10 Dienstag, 8. November 2005 11:12 11 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 (d). Replacing the shaving parts To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn. Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation. (Shaver foil and cutter block: 1000 series) 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. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 122 ºF/50 °C for extended periods of time.
