Tips for the perfect dry shave

For best shaving results, Braun recommends you to 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.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver

head after each shave under running water 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.

• Next, switch off the shaver and press the foil release buttons (3). Remove

the shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove shaver foil and tap it out on surface. Using

a brush, clean inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the

shaver foil nor the cutter block with the brush as this will damage them.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop

of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil.

96350138_199s-1_NA_S4-34.indd 796350138_199s-1_NA_S4-34.indd 7 21.08.13 08:3921.08.13 08:398

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.

Replacing the shaving parts

To maintain the appliance performing like new 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.
