Using the shaver
How to use
Press the on/off switch (5) to operate the shaver:
• The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of
your face.
• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose), first slide the shaver head to the
back position, afterwards move the head lock switch (3) to the back. The pivoting
head is locked at this angle.
• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer (4)
upwards.
Tips for the perfect dry shave
For best shaving 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.
Personalizing your shaver
By holding down the accelerator button –/+ (6) or (7) you can adjust the shaving power
to your individual needs in the different areas of your face from sensitive to intensive.
The pilot light in the on/off switch (5) changes within the following range:
(–) sensitive shave
– light blue
– dark blue
– green
(+) intensive shave
For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the green (intensive) setting.
When switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.
Cleaning
Cleaning under running water
• Switch the shaver on (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. The shaver shall not be used until it has dried completely.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light
machine oil (not included) on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette and the long hair
trimmer.
The shaver should be cleaned after each foam usage.
