Frequently Asked Questions - 345 WET&DRY BRAUN

How to charge the Braun 345 WET&DRY shaver?

Plug the included power cord into the shaver (motor off) or into the charging stand. For the first charge, leave it for 4 hours. Subsequent charges take about 1 hour. A 5-minute quick charge is enough for one shave.

Can I use the shaver in the shower or bath?

Yes, the shaver is designed for cordless use in the shower or bath. For safety, use it only on battery, not plugged into the mains.

How to clean the shaver?

After each shave, rinse the shaver head under hot water while the shaver is on (cordless). You can use non-abrasive liquid soap. Then remove the shaving cassette and let it dry. For dry cleaning, use the included brush on the inside of the head (not on the cassette).

When should I replace the shaving cassette?

Replace the shaving cassette (model 32S/32B) when the orange light indicator turns on, usually after about 18 months, or sooner if performance decreases.

How to reset the counter after changing the cassette?

Press the on/off button for at least 5 seconds. The replacement indicator flashes then turns off, indicating reset.

How long does the battery last after a full charge?

A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of shaving, depending on beard thickness and hardness.

Can I use the shaver while it is plugged in?

It is recommended to use the shaver only on battery, especially in the bathroom. Wired use is not described as safe under these conditions.

How to maintain the battery for a long life?

About every 6 months, fully discharge the shaver by using it without recharging between shaves, then fully recharge it. This maintains optimal battery capacity.

What to do if the shaver does not charge?

Check that the ambient temperature is between 5°C and 35°C. Make sure the power cord is properly connected. If the problem persists, contact a Braun authorized service center.

Can I share my shaver with someone else?

Tips for a perfect dry shave

For best results, Braun recommends you follow 3 simple steps:

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.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:

• 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, remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and let it dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer (2) and Foil & Cutter cassette (1) (picture).

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:

- Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it out on a flat surface (picture).

- Using a brush, clean the inner area of the head. However, do not clean the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it (picture).
