Optimal shaving performance
If using an electric shaver for the first
time, please bear in mind that your
skin may need about two weeks to
become fully accustomed to the new
shaving method.
Foil/cutterblock replacement
The shaver foil and cutterblock are
precision parts that, in time, are
subject to wear.
This wear is dependent on your
shaving method are beard type. To
maintain optimal shaving performance
you should consider replacing the foil
and cutterblock when worn.
This will ensure that you are getting
the close, comfortable shave you
expect from your Braun shaver.
Braun and the environment
For environmental reasons, your sha-
ver uses an «environmentally sound»
nickel-hydride recharging cell unit.
The cell unit does not contain any
poisonous heavy metals that can
damage the environment.
In the interest of recycling,
please do not dispose of this
appliance in the household
waste at the end of its useful
life. Instead, dispose of at an author-
ized Braun Service Center or at an
appropriate collection site.
