Keeping your shaver in top shape
Automated cleaning
The Braun Clean&Charge takes care of all cleaning and
lubrication needs of your shaver. Please refer to the
separate use instructions.
Manual cleaning
For easy cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver
off. Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do
not remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver
for approx. 5-10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles
can fall out.
For a thorough cleaning (weekly), remove the shaver foil
and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean
the cutter block and the inner area of the pivoting head.
About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with
Braun cleaning agents.
If your skin is very dry and you notice a reduced opera-
tion time of the shaver apply a drop of light machine oil
onto the shaver foil.
Replacing the shaving parts
The shaver foil and cutter block are precision parts that,
in time, are subject to wear. Replace your foil and cutter
block every 18 months and get a 25 % better shave.*

shave with new parts and those used for 18 months.)
Tips for the perfect shave
• It can take 14-21 days for your beard to adjust to
the new shaving system.
• 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 your skin and shave against the direction
of beard growth.
• Replace the shaver foil and cutter block every
18 months, or when the parts are worn, to ensure
optimum shaving performance.
