• When charging for the first time: Using the special cord set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet. The shaver must be switched off. Charge it for at least 4 hours (special cord set and shaver might get warm). Once the shaver is completely charged, shave until fully discharged. Then recharge to full capacity again (1 hour).

• A full charge will give up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time, depending on your beard growth. However, the maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

• Best environmental temperature range for charging is from 15 °C to 35 °C.

• When fully discharged, you may also shave with the shaver connected to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

Model 8588: When the shaver is fully charged, all five charging lights (7) will light up (20% per light), provided the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet or switched on. Model 8583: The green single charging light (7) shows that the shaver is being charged. When fully charged, the charging light flashes or goes off. If later on, the charging light comes on again, this indicates that the shaver is being recharged to maintain its full capacity. The red low charge light (8) flashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves. Shaving Switch positions off = (switch is locked) Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver: 1 = Shaving with the pivoting head (the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to every contour of your face). 2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle (to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the nose). 3 = The long hair trimmer is activated (for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).

Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do not remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can fall out. Then remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil. 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. Preserving the batteries In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the re- chargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged (through normal use) every 6 months approximately. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time. 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 your 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.
