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.
B Keeping your shaver in top
shape
Cleaning indicator
Your shaver should be cleaned daily in the
Clean&Renew™, and certainly when the
yellow cleaning light (7) shines constantly
after shaving. If this is not done, the yellow
light will go out after some time. The shaver’s
electronics will then assume it has been
cleaned manually and a new calculation of
the time when the next cleaning is required
will be started. During the cleaning process in
the Clean&Renew™ the yellow light will flash
and will go off after approx. 4 hours when
cleaning is finished.
Automatic cleaning
Once the shaver is put into the
Clean&Renew™, it is cleaned automatically
(see «C Clean&Renew™»).
Manual cleaning is recommended only when
the Clean&Renew™ is not available, e. g.
when travelling.
Manual 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 shaver head under
running water after each shave is an easy
and fast way to keep it clean:
Switch the shaver on (cordless) 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 & Cutter cassette (1) and let it
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
(2) and shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1).
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using
a brush:
Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver
Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it out on a
flat surface.
Using a brush, clean the inner area of the
shaver head. However, do not clean the
shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush
as this may damage it.
Replacement light for shaving parts/Reset
(390cc/370cc only)
To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1),
when the replacement light for shaving parts
(8) comes on (after about 18 months) or when
worn.
The replacement light will remind you during
the next 7 shaves to replace the foil and
cutter cassette. Then the shaver will auto-
matically reset.
After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter
cassette (1), press the on/off switch (4) for at
least 5 seconds to reset the counter.
While doing so, the replacement light blinks
and goes off when the reset is complete. The
manual reset can be done at any time.
Model 350cc: To maintain 100% shaving
performance, replace the shaver Foil & Cutter
cassette (1), at least every 18 months or
when worn.
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity
of the rechargeable batteries, the shaver
has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every
6 months approximately. Then recharge the
shaver to full capacity.
