Before shaving

Prior to first use you must connect the shaver to an electrical outlet using the special cord set or alternatively proceed as below.

Installing the Clean&Renew station

• Using the special cord set , connect the station power socket to an electrical outlet.
  
• Press the lift button to open the housing.
  
• Hold the cleaning cartridge down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
  
• Slide the cartridge into the base of the station as far as it will go.
  
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
  

The cleaning fluid display will show how much fluid is in the cartridge:

	up to 30 cleaning cycles available
	up to 7 cleaning cycles remaining
	new cartridge required

Charging and cleaning the shaver

Insert the shaver head down into the cleaning station. The contacts on the back of the shaver will align with the contacts in the cleaning station.

The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap residue!

If required, the Clean&Renew station will automatically charge the shaver. The hygiene status of the shaver will also be analyzed and one of the following cleaning program indicators 5 will light up:

	shaver is clean
	short economical cleaning required
	normal level of cleaning required
	high intensive cleaning required

If the station selects one of the required cleaning programs, it will not start unless you press the start button . For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning after each shave.

Whilst cleaning is in progress, the respective cleaning program indicator will blink. Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head and a heat drying process dries the shaver. Depending on the program selected the total cleaning time will range from 32 to 43 minutes.

The cleaning programs should not be interrupted. Please note that whilst the shaver is drying, the shaving head may be hot and wet. When the program is fi nished, the blue indicator will light up. Your shaver is now clean and ready for use.

Stand-by mode

10 minutes after completing the charging or cleaning session, the Clean&Renew station switches to the stand-by mode: The indicators of the Clean&Renew station turn off.

Shaver display

The green indicator fl ashes when the shaver is being charged or when in use.
When the battery is fully charged, the charge segment will light up continuously provided that the shaver is switched on or connected to an electrical outlet.

Some minutes after completing the charging, the shaver switches to the stand-by-mode: The display turns off.

Low charge indicator:
The red indicator fl ashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Charging information

• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5°C to 35°C. The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 15°C to 35°C. Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50°C for extended periods of time.

Using your shaver

Personalizing your shaver

With the (–) and (+) buttons you can choose the best setting for shaving different areas of your face and as per your specific needs.
The different settings are indicated by the pilot light incorporated in the on/off switch :

• dark blue (powerful shave)
• light blue (normal)
• white (for a thorough comfortable shave in sensitive areas of your face such as neck)

For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the «+» setting.
When switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.

How to use

Press the on/off switch to operate the shaver:

• The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face.
• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the shaver head «lock» switch the back position to lock the pivoting head at an angle.
• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer upwards.

Tips for the perfect dry shave

For best shaving 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), and you do not have the time to recharge it in the Clean&Renew station, you may also shave with the shaver connected to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

Cleaning

Automatic cleaning

After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Renew station and proceed as described above in the section «Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are then automatically taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles.
The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains alcohol, which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks.
The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame after cleaning. However, these marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft tissue paper.

Manual cleaning

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

• 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.
  
• Next, switch off the shaver, press the «release» button to 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:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it out on a fl at surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it.
  

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 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.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette/reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the Foil & Cutter cassette , when the replacement symbol lights up on the shaver display after about 18 months or when cassette is worn.

The replacement symbol will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the Foil & Cutter cassette. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette, use a ball-pen to push the reset button for at least 3 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.
