Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace your foil and cutter block 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:
part no. 5000/6000)
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of
the rechargeable batteries, the shaver has to
be fully discharged (through normal use) every
6 months approximately. Then recharge the
shaver to full capacity. Do not expose the
shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for
extended periods of time.

cadmium rechargeable batteries. To protect

ance in the household waste at the end of its

B Clean&Charge
Braun Clean&Charge has been developed for
cleaning, charging and storing your shaver.
Clean your shaver daily in the Clean&Charge.
During the automated cleaning process, the
shaver is switched on and off at intervals to
obtain best cleaning results. Since the spe-
cially formulated cleaning fluid contains a
small amount of oil, the cleaning procedure
also fulfills the lubrication needs of the shaver.
Important
• Only use the special cord set supplied with
the shaver.
• In order to avoid any leakage of the cleaning
fluid, place the appliance on a flat, stable
surface. Do not tip, move suddenly or trans-
port in any way if a cleaning cartridge is
installed.
• Do not place the appliance in a mirror cabi-
net, nor store it over radiators, nor place it
on polished or laquered surfaces. Do not
expose to direct sunlight.
• The appliance contains highly flamma-
ble liquid. Keep it away from sources
of ignition. No smoking. Keep out of reach
of children. Do not refill cartridge. Use only
original Braun refill cartridge.
• When cleaning the shaver, its protection
cap should be removed.
