Description
1 Foil & Cutter cassette
2 Long hair trimmer
3 On/off switch
4 Charging light (green)
5 Low-charge light (red)
6 Shaver power socket
7 Special cord set
8 Charging stand
9 Foil protection cap
Charging
The best environmental temperature for charging is between 60 °F to 95 °F /
15 °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 (7), connect the shaver or the charging stand (8)
to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.
When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to charge continuously
for 4 hours.
The green charging light (4) shows that the shaver is being charged. When
the batteries are fully charged, the charging light intermittently blinks on
and off. This indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity.
Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through
normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take
about 1 hour.
A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving time depend-
ing on your beard growth. However, the maximum battery capacity will
only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.
The red low-charge light (5) glows when the shaver capacity has dropped
below 20% provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity
will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.
Shaving
Press the on/off switch (3) to operate the shaver (picture).
The flexible shaving foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face
(picture).
Long hair trimmer
To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the long hair trimmer (2)
upwards.
Tips for the perfect shave
For best results, Braun recommends you 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.
This appliance is suitable for use in a bath or shower.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver
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, remove the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1)
and let it 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 (2) and shaver
Foil & Cutter cassette (1) (picture).

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:
Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it
out on a flat surface (picture).
Using a brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not
clean the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it
(picture).
Keeping your shaver in top shape
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver Foil & Cutter
cassette (1) at least every 18 months or when worn.
Foil & Cutter cassette: 32B
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the
shaver has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every 6 months approximately.
Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.

This appliance contains rechargeable batteries. To protect the
environment, do not dispose of the appliance in the household waste
at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service
Center or appropriate collection sites.
