• Next, switch off the shaver, remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and let it dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette. Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:

• Remove the protection foil from the Clean&Charge station display.
• Press the lift button (14) at the rear side of the Clean&Charge station to lift up the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (18) 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.
• Using the special cord set (10), connect the station power socket (13) to an electrical outlet. Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge station Insert the shaver head down into the Clean&Charge 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 (15) in the Clean&Charge station. Push the shaver in the correct position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the station. The Clean&Charge station will automatically charge the shaver. After having pressed the lift button (14) 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 ethanol or izopropanol (dependent on country – specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 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 after cleaning. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth. Cleaning the shaver 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. Start automatic cleaning Accessories Braun recommends changing your shaver’s Foil & Cutter cassette every 18 months to maintain your shaver’s maximum performance. Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button (17). If the status light (16b) does not shine (Clean&Charge station switches to stand-by after about 10 minutes), press the start button twice. Otherwise cleaning will not start. For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning after each shave. The cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. The cleaning time takes 3 minutes. During this time the status light of the Clean&Charge station 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 session, the indicators of the Clean&Charge station turn off. Available at your dealer or Braun Service Centres:
• Foil & Cutter cassette: 40S/40B
• Cleaning cartridge Clean&Charge: CCR Removing the shaver from the Clean&Charge station (see fig. F) Subject to change without notice. Hold the Clean&Charge station with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it. For electrical specifications, see printing on the special cord set. Environmental notice This product contains rechargeable batteries. In the interest of protecting the environment, please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Centre or at appropriate collection points provided in your country. The cleaning cartridge can be disposed of with regular household waste. Cleaning Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. G) 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 3–4 weeks when used daily).
