Cleaning The Housing; Replacing The Cleaning Cartridge; Manual Cleaning; Replacing The Foil And Cutter Block / Reset - Braun SERIES 5 550 CC-4 User Manual

• 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 «min» mark,
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
alcohol, which once opened will naturally
evaporate slowly into the surrounding air.
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.
D Manual cleaning
The shaver head is suitable for
cleaning under running tap water.
Warning: Detach the shaver from the
power supply before cleaning the
shaver head in water.
Rinsing the shaver head under running water
is an alternative way to keep the shaver
clean, especially when traveling:
11
• 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, press the foil
release buttons (9) to remove the shaver
foil (7) and cutter block (8). Then leave the
disassembled shaving parts to 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
(10) and shaver foil (7).
The following quick cleaning is another
alternative cleaning method:
• Press the foil release buttons (9) to lift
the shaver foil (do not remove the foil
completely). Switch on the shaver for
approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved
stubbles can fall out.
• 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.

Replacing the foil and cutter block / reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace the shaver foil (7) and cutter block (8),
when the replacement symbol (16) lights up
(after about 18 months) or when cassette is
worn.
The replacement symbol will remind you
during the next 7 shaves to replace the
shaver foil and cutter block. Then the shaver
will automatically reset the display.
After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil
and cutter block), press the on/off switch (13)
for at least 5 seconds to reset the counter.
While doing so, the replacement light blinks
and goes off when the reset is complete.
The manual reset can be done at any time.
