Shaving
Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch (6). The floating foil
frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave.
For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the long hair trimmer
(4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with the foil.
Trimming
Push out the long hair trimmer (a). It allows controlled trimming of moustache and
sideburns. It evenly cuts and trims larger areas: ideal for shaping sideburns,
moustaches and partial short beards.
Frequent use of the long hair trimmer may reduce the battery capacity (model
190s only).
Tips for the perfect shave
For best shaving results, Braun recommends you to 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.
Cleaning
The shaver head is suitable for cleaning under running tap water.
Warning: Detach the shaver from the power supply before cleaning the
shaver head in water.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head
under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean (b):
Model 190s only:
• Switch the shaver on and rinse the shaver head under hot running water.
• You may use liquid soap without 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 (2) and cutter block (3).
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 (d).
Model 170s only:
• After each shave, rinse the shaver head under hot running water (b).
You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam.
