Automatic cleaning
Once the shaver is put into the
Clean&Renew™, it is cleaned automatically
(see separate instructions). Manual cleaning is
recommended only when the Clean&Renew™
is not available, e.g. when travelling.
Manual cleaning
The hand-held unit should be detached from
the power supply cord before cleaning. The
shaver should not be used until it has dried.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving
performance. Rinsing the shaving head after
each shave under running water is an easy and
fast way to keep it clean:
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse
the shaving head under hot running water.
A natural based soap may also be used
provided it contains no particles or 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 and the cutter block. Then leave
the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using
the brush provided:
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver
foil.
• Using the brush, clean the cutter block and
the inner area of the shaver head. However,
do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as
this may damage the foil.
Replacement light for shaving parts / Reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace your foil and cutter block, when the
replacement light for shaving parts (9) comes
on (after about 18 months) or when worn.
Change both parts at the same time for a
closer shave with less skin irritation.
(Shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3):
5000/6000 series)
The replacement light will remind you during
the next 7 shaves to replace the shaving parts.
Then the shaver will automatically reset the
display.
After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil
and cutter block), use a ball-pen to push the
reset button (10) for at least 3 seconds to reset
the display manually.
While doing so, the replacement light blinks
and goes off when the reset is complete. The
manual reset can be done at any time.
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. Do not expose the
shaver to temperatures higher than 122 °F/
50 °C for extended periods of time.
Environmental notice
This appliance is provided with nickel-
cadmium 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.
Caution: Opening the housing will destroy
the appliance and invalidate the guarantee.
Clean&Renew™
Braun Clean&Renew™ has been developed
for cleaning, charging and storing your shaver.
Clean your shaver daily in the Clean&Renew™.
During the automated cleaning process,
the shaver is switched on and off at intervals
to obtain best cleaning results. Since the
specially formulated cleaning fluid contains a
small amount of oil, the cleaning procedure
also fulfills the lubrication needs of the shaver.
Important
• Only use the power supply cord set supplied
with the shaver.
