The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 5 °C to 35 °C. Do not
expose the shaver to temperatures higher
than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
Shaver display
The shaver display (14) shows the charge
status of the battery. During charging or
when using the shaver, the respective battery
segment will blink (green). When fully
charged, all segments will light up for
approximately one hour, provided the shaver
sits in the C&R station.
The red low-charge light flashes when the
battery is running low.
You should be able to finish your shave.

Tips for the perfect shave
For best 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.
Shaving with the cord
If the shaver has run out of power
(discharged), you may also shave with the
shaver connected to an electrical outlet via
the special cord set.
Cleaning
For best shaving results, we recommend
cleaning the shaver in the station after each
shave (see «Automatic cleaning»).
All charging and cleaning needs are then
automatically taken care of.
Cleaning indicator
Clean your shaver in the Clean&Renew
station at the latest when the yellow cleaning
light (15) shines constantly after shaving.
If this is not done, the cleaning light will go
off after some time and the counter will be
reset.
C Automatic cleaning
The Clean&Renew has been developed for
cleaning, charging and storing your shaver.
After each shave, return the shaver to the
Clean&Renew station and proceed as
follows:
• Insert the shaver head down into the
cleaning station.
• Push down the start button (4). The clean-
ing process will start (approx. 5 minutes
cleaning, 4 hours drying).
• Do not interrupt the cleaning process, as
it leaves the shaver wet and not fit for use.
If interruption is needed nonetheless, press
the start button (4).
