Cleaning
This appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open water tap.
Warning: Detach the hand-held part from the power supply before
cleaning it in water.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance (b).
• After each shave, 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.
• Lift the shaver foil off and pull the cutter block out. Then leave the
disassembled shaving parts to dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a
drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush (c):
• Lift the shaver foil off.
• 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.
Keeping your shaver in top shape
About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents.
Put a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and the shaver foil
(d).
Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block
at least every 18 months or when worn. Change both parts at the same time
for a closer shave with less skin irritation.

Tips for the perfect shave
•
We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be
slightly swollen after washing.
• 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.
