Charging
The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 41 °F to 95 °F / 5 °C to
35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to
temperatures higher than 122 °F / 50 °C for
extended periods of time.
Using the special cord set (11), connect the
shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor
switched off and charge it for at least one
hour.
A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of
cordless shaving time. This may vary
according to your beard growth.
If the rechargeable battery has run out of
power (discharged), you may also shave by
connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet
via the special cord set.

status of the battery.

Tips for the perfect shave
For best shaving results, Braun
recommends you to follow 3 simple steps:

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 hand-held unit should be detached from
the power supply cord before cleaning. The
shaver should not be used until it has dried.
