Tips for the perfect shave
For best shaving results, Braun recommends you to 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.

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.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean (A):
Cleaning - Method 1

  • Rinse the shaver head under hot running water. You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam.
  • Next, press the foil release buttons (3) to remove the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2). 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.

The following quick cleaning is another alternative cleaning method (B):
Cleaning - Method 2

  • Press the foil release buttons (3) 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 the 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.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Replacing the shaver foil and cutter block
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2) at least every 18 months or when worn.

Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation.
