• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may
not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended
ambient temperature for shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to
temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
Using the shaver
How to use
Press the on/off switch (12) 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 to the back. The pivoting head is
locked at this angle.
• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer (11)
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 –/+ (13) or (14) 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 ( 12 ) 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
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 automatically taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge should be
sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles.
The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or isopropanol (specification see
cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not
used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal
disinfection.
