Automatic Cleaning; Manual Cleaning - Braun ContourX Manual

Tips for the perfect shave
For best 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.
Shaving with the cord
If the shaver has run out of power
(discharged), you may also shave with the
shaver connected to an electrical outlet via
the special cord set.
Cleaning
For best shaving results, we recommend
cleaning the shaver in the station after each
shave (see «Automatic cleaning»).
All charging and cleaning needs are then
automatically taken care of.
Cleaning indicator
Clean your shaver in the Clean&Renew
station at the latest when the yellow cleaning
light (15) shines constantly after shaving.
If this is not done, the cleaning light will go
off after some time and the counter will be
reset.

Automatic cleaning

The Clean&Renew has been developed for
cleaning, charging and storing your shaver.
After each shave, return the shaver to the
Clean&Renew station and proceed as
follows:
• Insert the shaver head down into the
cleaning station.
• Push down the start button (4). The clean-
ing process will start (approx. 5 minutes
cleaning, 4 hours drying).
• Do not interrupt the cleaning process, as
it leaves the shaver wet and not fit for use.
If interruption is needed nonetheless, press
the start button (4).

• When cleaning is finished, the yellow
cleaning light will go off and the shaver is
ready for use.
• A cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for
about 30 cleaning cycles. When the level
indicator (1) has reached the
remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient
for about 5 more cycles. Then the cartridge
should be replaced, when used daily
approx. every 4 weeks.
• The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains
ethanol or isopropanol (specification see
cartridge), which once opened will naturally
evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not
daily used, should be replaced after
approximately 8 weeks.
• The cleaning cartridge also contains
lubricates, which may leave residual marks
on the shaver head after cleaning.
However, these marks can be removed
easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft
tissue paper.
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.

Manual cleaning

Rinsing the shaver head under running water
is an alternative way to keep the shaver
clean, especially when traveling:
• 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.
