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 the skin and shave against

the direction of beard growth.

• To maintain 100% shaving performance,

replace the shaver foil and cutter block,

when the replacement light (8) comes on

(after about 18 months), or when the

shaving parts are worn.

This appliance is suitable for cleaning

under an open water tap.

Warning: Detach the hand-held part

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.

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.

• If you regularly clean the shaver under

water, then once a week apply a drop of

light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver

• 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.

Keeping your shaver in top

About every four weeks, clean the cutter block

with Braun cleaning agents.

Replacement light for shaving parts / Reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance,

replace your foil and cutter block, when the

replacement light for shaving parts (8) comes on

(after about 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: 5000 series)

The replacement light will remind you during the

next 7 shaves to replace the shaving parts. Then

the shaver will automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil

and cutter block), use a ball-pen to push the

reset button (9) for at least 3 seconds to reset

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. Do not expose the shaver to tempe-

ratures higher than 50°C for extended periods
