Your Braun shaver with Clean&Renew™ station
is a system equipped with highly advanced electronic
processors. It ensures great closeness and comfort for
you and optimum care for your shaver:
• The system automatically adapts to any voltage
worldwide.
• The system recognizes when cleaning of your shaver is
required, and automatically recognizes which of the
three cleaning programs is appropriate.
• While the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet,
the system automatically takes care of charging and
discharging in a way that is optimized for the shaver’s
battery capacity and life span.
• The system takes care of lubrication of the shaver’s
cutting parts.
• The system tells you when to replace the shaving foil
and cutter block.
Important
In order to avoid any leakage of the cleaning fluid,
place the Clean&Renew™ station on a flat, stable
surface.
Do not tip, move suddenly or transport the station in
any way if a cleaning cartridge is installed.
Do not place the station in a mirror cabinet, store it
over radiators, or place it on polished or laquered
surfaces. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The station contains highly flammable 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.

Before shaving
If you wish, you may start shaving right away (if the shaver
is charged, see section «The shaver indicator lights»).
However, we recommend to follow the procedure
described here:
• Using the special cord set (1), connect the socket of the
Clean&Renew™ station (7) to an electrical outlet.
• Press the station lift button (4) to open the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (8) down on a flat, stable
surface (e.g. table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
• Slide the cartridge into the base of the station as far as
it will go.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it
locks.

The display for cleaning fluid (6) will show how much
cleaning fluid is in the cartridge:
a) cleaning solution sufficiently available
b) up to 7 cleanings left
c) new cartridge required
Make sure the foil protection cap (9) is removed from the
shaver. Insert the shaver head down into the station (the
contacts (14) on the back of the shaver will correspond to
the contacts (3) in the station). If necessary, the system
will now charge the shaver.
Also, the cleaning status will be automatically analyzed
and one of the four diodes of the cleaning program display
(5) will light up:
a) the shaver is clean
b) eco(nomic), i.e. short cleaning required
c) normal cleaning required
d) intensive cleaning required
If the system has selected one of the three cleaning
programs, it will not start until you push down the «start
cleaning» button (2). This locks the shaver into the station
and starts the cleaning process.
We recommend cleaning after each shave.
While the cleaning is in progress, the respective cleaning
program light will flash. Each cleaning consists of several
cycles (where the cleaning fluid is flushed through the
shaver head) and a heat drying period. The total cleaning
time is 33 to 50 minutes.
Cleaning processes in the Clean&Renew™ should not
be interrupted. While the shaver is drying, the metal
parts of the shaver may be hot. Also, if the shaver is
taken out prematurely and is not dry, its electronics
could be harmed.
When the program is finished, the blue «clean» light will
shine. You can release the shaver by pushing the «start
cleaning» button.
Your shaver is now clean and ready for use.

Shaving
If the shaver is locked into the Clean&Renew™ station,
push the «start cleaning» button (2) to release the shaver
and take it out.
Switch positions
off = (switch is locked)
Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver
on = Shaving with the pivoting head
(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to
every contour of your face).
fix = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle
(to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the
nose).
trim=The long hair trimmer is activated
(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).
Shaving with the cord
If the shaver is completely discharged and you do not
have the time to recharge in the Clean&Renew™ station,
you may also shave with the shaver connected to an
electrical outlet.
After shaving
Automatic cleaning
After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Renew™
station and proceed as described above in the section
«Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are
then taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge
should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles.
The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol
which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into
the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily,
should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks.
Tips for the perfect shave
• It can take up to 14-21 days for your beard to adjust
to the new shaving system.
• Shave before washing your face or taking a shower,
as skin tends to swell after washing.
• The drier the skin, the closer the shaving results will
be.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin.
Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of
beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace
your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or
when worn.

Quick cleaning
Press the foil release buttons (12) 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.
Thorough manual cleaning
Manual cleaning is recommended only when the
Clean&Renew™ station is not available, e.g. when travel-
ling.
Never use water to clean the shaver.
Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface.
Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head.
However, do not clean the shaver foil nor the cutter block
with the brush as this may damage them.
If you do not use the Clean&Renew™ station for a longer
period of time, you should apply a drop of light machine
oil onto the shaver foil.
Cleaning the housing
Clean the housing of shaver and station from time to time
with a damp cloth, especially inside the opening of the
station where the shaver rests.
Replacing the cartridge
After having pressed the lift button (4) to open the
housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used
cartridge.
Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close
the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the
used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning
solution.
The shaver indicator lights
Pilot light (20): the shaver is connected to an electrical
outlet.
The red low-charge light (17) flashes when the battery
capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is
switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient
for 2 to 3 shaves.
