segments will light up for a few seconds. Then the display turns off.

Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best results, Braun recommends you to follow 3 simple steps:
1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.
MultiHeadLock switch (head lock)
• To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the MultiHeadLock switch
(3) down to lock the shaver head. The shaver head can be locked in five positions.
• To change position, move the shaver head with your thumb and forefinger back or
forth. It will automatically click into the next position.
• For automatic cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station the head lock should be released.
Long hair trimmer
To trim sideburns, moustache or beard press the release button (8) and slide the long
hair trimmer (6) upwards.
Travel lock
The lock symbol (5a) lights up in the display when the shaver has been locked to avoid
unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing it in a suitcase).
• Activation: By pressing the on/off switch (4) for 3 seconds the shaver is locked. This is
confirmed by a beep sound and the lock symbol in the display. Afterwards the display
turns off.
• Deactivation: By pressing the on/off switch for 3 seconds again the shaver is unlocked.
Manual cleaning of the shaver
Cleaning under running water
• Switch on the shaver (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running
water until all residues have been removed. 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 release button (2) to remove the 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 on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.
The shaver should be cleaned after each foam usage.
