Tips for the perfect shave
For best shaving results, Braun recommends you to 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.
Cleaning
The shaver is suitable for cleaning under running tap water.
Warning: Detach the shaver from the power supply before cleaning it with
water.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head
after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running
water. A natural based soap may also be used provided it contains no particles
or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more
seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver and press the foil release buttons (3). Remove the
shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to
dry.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided:
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface.
Using a brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean
the shaver foil nor the cutter block with the brush as this will damage them.
