Warning

Clean&Charge Station (not with all models)

To prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking, ensure that the Clean&Charge Station is placed on a flat surface. When a cleaning cartridge is installed, do not tip, move suddenly or transport the station in any way as cleaning fluid might spill out of the cartridge.

Do not place the station inside a mirror cabinet, nor place it on a polished or lacquered surface.

The cleaning cartridge contains a highly flammable liquid so keep it away from sources of ignition. Do not expose to direct sunlight and cigarette smoking nor store it over a radiator.

Do not refill the cartridge and use only original Braun refill cartridges.

First use and Charging

Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10) into the power socket (9) / the charging stand (10a) or for cc models via the Clean&Charge Station (see Chapter «Clean&Charge Station»).

Charging and basic operating information

• When charging for the first time, charge continuously for 1 hour.
• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 41 °F to 95 °F / 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures.
• Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C to 35 °C.
• Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 122^ / 50^ for extended periods of time.
• When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, it may take some minutes until the display illuminates.

Shaver display

Charge status

The shaver display (5) shows the charge status of the battery when connected to an electrical outlet:

• During charging the respective battery segment will blink.
• When fully charged all battery segments will light up for a few seconds then the display turns off.

Low charge

The low-charge light flashes red when the battery is running low. You should be able to finish your shave. With switching off the shaver a beep sound reminds of the low charge status. The last 9 minutes of remaining shaving time are displayed in digits (depending on your model / display).

Cleaning status (only models with Clean & Charge Station)

The cleaning indicator lights up when the shaver needs to be cleaned in the Clean&Charge Station.

Travel lock

The lock symbol lights up when the shaver has been locked to avoid unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing in a suitcase).

Using the shaver (see fig. A)

Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the shaver.

Tips for a perfect dry shave

1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

MultiHeadLock switch (head lock)

To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the MultiHeadLock switch (3) down to lock the shaver head. The shaver head can be locked in five positions.

To change position, move the shaver head with your thumb and forefinger back or forth. It will automatically click into the next position.

Only models with Clean & Charge Station: For automatic cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station the head lock should be released.

Long hair trimmer

To trim sideburns, moustache or beard press the release button (8) and slide the long hair trimmer (6) upwards.

Travel lock

• Activation: By pressing the on/off switch (4) for 3 seconds the shaver is locked. This is confirmed by a beep sound and the lock symbol in the display. Afterwards the display turns off.
• Deactivation: By pressing the on/off switch for 3 seconds the shaver is unlocked again.

Manual cleaning of the shaver (see fig. B/C)

Cleaning under running water

• Switch on the shaver (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues have been removed. 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, press the release buttons (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and let it dry completely.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil (not included) on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette and the long hair trimmer.

The shaver should be cleaned after each foam usage.

Cleaning with a brush

- Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it!

The Foil & Cutter cassette can be attached either way. There is no impact on the shaving performance.

Clean&Charge Station (not with all models)

The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating, drying and storing your Braun shaver.

DANGER : FLAMMABLE. CONTENTS MAY CATCH FIRE. Do not smoke. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from flames such as pilot light, and any object that sparks such as electric motor. Keep locked up. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. CAUTION : MAY IRRITATE EYES. Do not get in eyes.

FIRST AID TREATMENT: Contains ethanol. If swallowed, call a Poison Control Centre or doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If in eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes.

Installing the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. D)

• Press the lift button (13) at the rear side of the Clean&Charge Station to lift up the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (17) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
• Slide the cartridge from the rear side into the base of the station until it snaps into place.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
• Connect the station to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10) into the power socket (12).

Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. D)

Insert the shaver head with the front showing and released head lock 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.

Cleaning the shaver (see fig. D)

When the cleaning indicator lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the Clean&Charge Station, as described above and press the start button (16).

The hygiene status will be analyzed and is shown by the cleaning program indicators (15c) in the Clean&Charge Station display.

If status light (15b) 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.

The cleaning process consists of several cycles, in which cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. Depending on the program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes, followed by an active drying phase of about 40 minutes, during which a fan is running.

Afterwards charging will resume, which is indicated in the shaver display. When the shaver is fully charged the display turns off.

Cleaning programs

◆ short economical cleaning
normal level of cleaning
high intensive cleaning

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 L(15a) 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 3 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 cleaning solution.

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains alcohol or isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks. 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.
