Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through

normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take

A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving time

depending on your beard growth. However, the maximum battery capacity

will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.

The red low-charge light (5) glows when the shaver capacity has dropped

below 20% provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity

will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Press the on/off switch (3) to operate the shaver (picture).

The flexible shaving foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face

Tips for the perfect 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.

This appliance is suitable for use in a bath or shower.

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

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.

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 shaver

Foil & Cutter cassette (1) (picture).

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:

Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver 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 shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it

Keeping your shaver in top shape

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver Foil & Cutter

cassette (1) at least every 18 months or when worn.

Foil & Cutter cassette: 32B 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.
