Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge Station

Insert the shaver head down into the cleaning station.

Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free

from any foam or soap residue!

The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to

align with the contacts (14) in the station. Push the

shaver in the correct position.

A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly

in the station. Charging will start automatically.

Model 5090cc: The Clean&Charge Station analyzes

the hygiene status. The status is shown by the

cleaning program indicators

Station display (15) more details see chapter

«Cleaning programs» below.

Cleaning the shaver (see fig. D)

When the cleaning indicator lights up in the shaver

display, insert the shaver into the Clean&Charge

Station, upside down and with the front showing (with

released head lock/contact alignment/beep sound).

5090cc: The hygiene status will be analyzed and one

of the following program indicators will light up.

short economical cleaning

normal level of cleaning

high intensive cleaning

5070cc/5050cc: One standard cleaning program

Start automatic cleaning

Start the cleaning process by pressing the start

button (16). If status light (15a) does not shine

(Clean&Charge Station switches to stand-by after

ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice. Otherwise

cleaning will not start. For best shaving results,

we recommend cleaning after each shave.

Each cleaning program consists of several cycles,

where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver

head. Depending on your Clean&Charge Station

model and/or program selected, the cleaning time

takes up to 3 minutes. During this time the status light

blinks. Leave the shaver in the station for drying.

It takes several hours until remaining moisture

evaporates depending on the climatic conditions.

Afterwards the shaver is ready for use.

After completing the cleaning and charging proce-

dure, all indicators turn off.

Removing the shaver from the Clean&Charge

Station (see fig. E)

Hold the Clean&Charge Station with one hand and

tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. F)

When the level indicator

lights up permanently

red, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient

for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator

blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced -

about every 4 weeks (when used daily).

After having pressed the lift button (13) to open the

housing, wait for a few seconds before removing

the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. 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

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or

isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once

opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge,

if not used daily, should be replaced after approxi-

mately 8 weeks to ensure optimal disinfection.

The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for

the shaving system, which may leave residual marks

on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber

of the Clean&Charge Station. These marks can be

removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.

Braun recommends changing your shaver’s

Foil & Cutter cassette every 18 months to maintain

your shaver’s maximum performance.
