Tips for the perfect shave
For best shaving results, Braun recom-
mends 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:
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 (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:
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
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.
Keeping your shaver in top
shape
Replacing the shaver foil and cutter
block / reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2),
when the replacement symbol (8) lights up
(after about 18 months) or when worn.
The replacement symbol will remind you
during the next 7 shaves to replace the
shaving parts. Then the shaver will automati-
cally reset the display.
After you have replaced the shaving parts
(foil and cutter block), press the on/off switch
(6) 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.
