Frequently Asked Questions - Series 3 wet & dry BRAUN

How to clean the shaver?

You can use the Clean&Renew station for automatic cleaning. For manual cleaning, turn on the cordless shaver and rinse the head under warm water, optionally with non-abrasive liquid soap. Then remove the shaving cassette and let it dry.

How long does the battery last?

A full 1-hour charge offers up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving. A 5-minute quick charge is enough for one shave.

Can I use the shaver in the shower?

Yes, the shaver is wet & dry and can be used cordless in the shower. For safety reasons, only use the device cordless under these conditions.

When should I replace the foil and cutter block?

Replace the shaving cassette (foil and cutter block) when the replacement symbol lights up on the screen, usually after about 18 months, or if shaving performance decreases.

What to do if the shaver does not start?

Check that the battery is charged. If it is fully charged but the shaver stops, the shaving cassette is probably worn: replace it and apply oil regularly.

How to reset the counter after replacing the cassette?

Use a pen to press the reset button (15) for at least 3 seconds. The replacement indicator flashes then goes out.

Why is the cleaning indicator flashing red on the station?

The red light indicates that the cleaning fluid cartridge is empty or nearly empty. Replace it with a new Clean&Renew CCR cartridge.

Can I use the shaver plugged into the mains while charging?

Yes, you can use the shaver while plugged in, but for optimal safety in the bathroom, use it cordless. Charging occurs automatically when the shaver is placed in the station.

How to maintain the retractable long hair trimmer?

Clean the trimmer after each use with the provided brush or under running water. Apply a drop of light machine oil (not included) to the trimmer for optimal performance.

What to do if the screen shows a replacement symbol?

The symbol reminds you to replace the shaving cassette (foil and cutter block) within the next 7 shaves. After replacement, reset the counter as indicated in the manual.

To prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking, ensure that the Clean&Renew 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 over a radiator, 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 smoke near the station. Do not expose to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

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

Before shaving

Prior to first use you must connect the shaver to an electrical outlet using the special cord set (20) or alternatively proceed as below.

Installing the Clean&Renew station

• Press the lift button (2) to open the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (7) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
• Slide the cartridge into the base of the station as far as it will go.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
• Using the special cord set (20), connect the station power socket (6) to an electrical outlet.

The cleaning fluid display (1) will show how much fluid is in the cartridge:

up to 30 cleaning cycles available
up to 7 cleaning cycles remaining
new cartridge required

Charging and cleaning the shaver

Insert the shaver head with the front showing and released head lock (10) into the Clean&Renew. The contacts (17) on the back of the shaver will align with the contacts (3) in the cleaning station. Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap residue!

If required, the Clean&Renew station will automatically charge the shaver. The hygiene status of the shaver will also be analyzed and one of the following cleaning program indicators (5) will light up:

√ shaver is clean
short economical cleaning required
▲▲ normal level of cleaning required
high intensive cleaning required

If the station selects one of the required cleaning programs, it will not start unless you press the start button (4). 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&Renew Station model and/or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 16 minutes. Leave the shaver in the station for drying. It takes several hours until remaining moisture evaporates depending on the climatic conditions.

When the program is finished, the blue √ indicator will light up.

Stand-by mode

10 minutes after completing the charging or cleaning session, the Clean&Renew station switches to the stand-by mode: The indicators of the Clean&Renew station turn off.

Shaver display

The shaver display (16) shows the charge status of the battery on the left, and the hygiene status on the right. 6 dark segments are shown on each side when the battery is fully charged and the shaver is hygienically clean.

Battery segments:

During charging or when using the shaver, the respective battery segment (16a) will blink. When fully charged all 6 segments are shown. With decreasing charge the segments gradually disappear.

Low charge indicator

The low charge indicator (16c) provided with a red frame blinks to indicate that the battery is running low. The remaining battery capacity is sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Hygiene segments:

All 6 hygiene segments (16b) will appear after the shaver has been cleaned in the Clean&Renew station. When the shaver is being used, the hygiene segments will gradually disappear. Once the shaver is returned to the station, the system will automatically select the appropriate cleaning program and restore the segments to maximum hygiene. Given that rinsing the shaver under tap water is not as hygienic as the cleaning station, the hygiene segments will only restore themselves when the shaver has been cleaned in the Clean&Renew station.

Charging information

- A full charge will take about 1 hour and provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature. 5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.

- Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 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 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

Using the shaver

How to use

Press the on/off switch (12) to operate the shaver:

• The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face.
• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose), first slide the shaver head to the back position, afterwards move the head lock switch to the back. The pivoting head is locked at this angle.
• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer (11) upwards.

Tips for the perfect dry shave

For best shaving 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.

Personalizing your shaver

By holding down the accelerator button - / + (13) or (14) you can adjust the shaving power to your individual needs in the different areas of your face from sensitive to intensive. The pilot light in the on/off switch (12) changes within the following range:

(−) sensitive shave
- light blue
- dark blue
- green
(+) intensive shave

For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the green (intensive) setting.

When switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.

Cleaning

Automatic cleaning

After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Renew station and proceed as described above in the section «Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are then automatically taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles.

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 approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal disinfection.

The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame after cleaning. However, these marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft tissue paper.

Manual cleaning

Cleaning under running water:

• Switch the shaver on (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 button (9) to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (8) and let it dry.
• 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 (8) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using a brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it.

Cleaning the housing

From time to time clean the housing of the shaver and the Clean&Renew station with a damp cloth, especially inside the cleaning chamber where the shaver rests.

Replacing the cleaning cartridge

After having pressed the lift button (2) 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.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette/ reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the Foil & Cutter cassette (8), when the replace ment symbol (16d) lights up on the shaver display (after about 18 months) or when cassette is worn. The replacement symbol will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the Foil & Cutter cassette. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette, use a ball-pen to push the reset button (15) for at least 3 seconds to reset the counter. While doing so, the replacement light blinks and goes off when the reset is complete. The manual reset can be done at any time.
