Braun 170, 1 Series Manual

Description

Product Parts Description

Foil protection cap
Shaver foil
Cutter block
Long hair trimmer
On/off switch
Special cord set

Your shaver is provided with a special cord set with integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or manipulate any part of it. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

Shaving

Shaving - Removing the foil protection cap
Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch (5). The floating foil frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave.

For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the long hair trimmer (4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with the foil.

Shaving - Trimming
Trimming
Push out the long hair trimmer (a). It allows controlled trimming of moustache and sideburns. It evenly cuts and trims larger areas: ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards.

Tips for the perfect shave

We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing.
Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn.

Cleaning

This appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open water tap.

Detach the hand-held part from the power supply before cleaning it in water.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance (b).
Cleaning - Regular cleaning procedures

After each shave, rinse the shaving 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.
Lift the shaver foil off and pull the cutter block out. 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 and shaver foil (d).

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided (c).
Cleaning - Cleaning the unit using provided brush

Lift the shaver foil off.
Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil.

Keeping your unit in top shape

About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents.

Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn. Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation.
(Shaver foil and cutter block: 10B)

Subject to change without notice.
For electric specifications, see printing on the special cord set.
