Charging lights
5873/5874 and 5875 models: The green
charging light blinks when the shaver is being
charged. When the battery is fully charged, the
charging light lights permanently.
5877 model: The 3 segments of the green
charging light indicate the charging level by
thirds. When fully charged, all 3 segments of the
charging light shine permanently.
Low-charge light
(5877/5875 models only)
The red low-charge light flashes when the
battery capacity has dropped below 20%,
provided the shaver is switched on. The re-
maining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3
shaves.
Shaving
Turn on the shaver («start»):
The pivoting cutting system automatically
adjusts to every contour of your face.
Trimmer:
When the long hair trimmer is activated, it allows
the controlled trimming of moustache or
sideburns.
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. 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.
• 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
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.
Keeping your shaver in top
shape
About every four weeks, clean the cutter block
with Braun cleaning agents.
Replacement light for shaving parts / Reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace your foil and cutter block, when the
replacement light for shaving parts (8) 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 and cutter block: 5000 series)
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 the shaver foil and cutter block,
when the replacement light (8) comes on
(after about 18 months), or when the
shaving parts are worn.
