Warning
Your shaving system is provided with a special cord set, which has an
integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or tamper
with any part of it, otherwise there is risk of an electric shock. Only use
the special cord set provided with your appliance. Do not shave with a damaged
foil or cord.
This appliance is suitable for cleaning under running water and use in a bathtub or shower. For safety reasons it can only be operated cordless. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 years and supervised. To prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking, ensure that the Clean&Renew station is placed on a flat surface. When a cleaning cartridge is installed, do not tip, move suddenly or transport the station in any way as cleaning fluid might spill out of the cartridge. Do not place the station inside a mirror cabinet, nor over a radiator, nor place it on a polished or lacquered surface. The cleaning cartridge contains a highly flammable liquid so keep it away from sources of ignition. Do not smoke near the station. Do not expose to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Do not refill the cartridge and use only original Braun refi ll cartridges.

Before shaving
Prior to first use you must connect the shaver to an electrical outlet using the special cord set p or alternatively proceed as below.
Installing the Clean &Renew station
- Using the special cord set p, connect the station power socket 6 to an electrical outlet.
- Press the lift button 2 to open the housing.
- Hold the cleaning cartridge 7 down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).
- Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
- Slide the cartridge into the base of the station as far as it will go.
- Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
The cleaning fluid display 1 will show how much fluid is in the cartridge:
- up to 30 cleaning cycles available
- up to 7 cleaning cycles remaining
- new cartridge required
Charging and cleaning the shaver
Insert the shaver head down into the cleaning station. The contacts u on the
back of the shaver will align with the contacts 3 in the cleaning station.
Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap residue!
If required, the Clean&Renew station will automatically charge the shaver. The
hygiene status of the shaver will also be analyzed and one of the following
cleaning program indicators 5 will light up
- shaver is clean
- short economical cleaning required
- normal level of cleaning required
- high intensive cleaning required
If the station selects one of the required cleaning programs, it will not start unless you press the start button 4. For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning after each shave.
Whilst cleaning is in progress, the respective cleaning program indicator will blink. Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fl uid is fl ushed through the shaver head and a heat drying process dries the shaver. Depending on the program selected the total cleaning time will range from 32 to 43 minutes. The cleaning programs should not be interrupted. Please note that whilst the shaver is drying, the shaver head may be hot and wet. When the program is fi nished, the blue indicator will light up. Your shaver is now clean and ready for use
Fast cleaning
Push the fast clean button D to activate the fast clean program without
drying. This program takes about 25 seconds only and is recommended when you
do not have time to wait for one of the automatic cleaning programs. If you
remove the shaver just after the program has fi nished, wipe off the shaver
head with a tissue to avoid dripping
Stand-by mode
10 minutes after completing the charging or cleaning session, the Clean&Renew
station switches to the stand-by mode: The indicators of the Clean&Renew
station turn off
Shaver display
The shaver display z shows the charge status of the battery on the left, and the hygiene status on the right. 6 dark segments are shown on each side when the battery is fully charged and the shaver is hygienically clean.
Battery segments:
During charging or when using the shaver, the respective battery segments will
blink. When fully charged all 6 segments are shown. With decreasing charge the
segments gradually disappear
Low charge indicator
The low charge indicator provided with a red frame blinks to indicate that the
battery is running low. The remaining battery capacity is suffi cient for 2 to
3 shaves
Hygiene segments:
All 6 hygiene segments will appear after the shaver has been cleaned in the
Clean&Renew station. When the shaver is being used, the hygiene segments will
gradually disappear. Once the shaver is returned to the station, the system
will automatically select the appropriate cleaning program and restore the
segments to maximum hygiene. Given that rinsing the shaver under tap water is
not as hygienic as the cleaning station, the hygiene segments will only
restore themselves when the shaver has been cleaned in the Clean&Renew
station.
Charging information
- A full charge will take about 1 hour and provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature. 5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.
- Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended
ambient temperature for shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
Using the shaver
Personalizing your shaver
By holding down the accelerator button –/+ ( e or r ) you can adjust the
shaving power to your individual needs in the diff erent areas of your face
from sensitive tointensive. The pilot light in the on/ off switch w changes
within the following range:
(–) sensitive shave
- light blue
- dark blue
- green
(+) intensive shave
For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the green (intensive) setting. When
switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.
Tips for the perfect dry shave
For best shaving results, Braun recommends you follow 3 simple steps
- Always shave before washing your face.
- At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to your skin.
- Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.
How to use
Press the on/off switch w to operate the shaver:
- The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face.
- To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the shaver head lock switch 0 to the back position to lock the pivoting head at an angle.
- To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer q upwards.
Cleaning
Automatic cleaning
After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Renew station and proceed as
described above in the section «Before shaving». All charging and cleaning
needs are then automatically taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning
cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles
The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or isopropanol (specifi cation see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame after cleaning. However, these marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft tissue paper
Manual cleaning
Rinsing the shaver head under running water is an alternative way to keep the
shaver clean, especially when travelling
- Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues have been removed. 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, press the release button 9 to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette 8 and let it dry.
- If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver with a brush:
Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette 8 and tap it out on a flat surface. Using a brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it.
Cleaning the housing
From time to time clean the housing of the shaver and the Clean&Renew station
with a damp cloth, especially inside the cleaning chamber where the shaver
rests.
Replacing the cleaning cartridge
After having pressed the lift button 2 to open the housing, wait for a few
seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. Before
discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid
of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated
cleaning solution.
Keeping your shaver in top shape
Replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette / reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the Foil & Cutter cassette 8,
when the replace ment symbol lights up on the shaver display z after about 18
months or when cassette is worn. The replacement symbol will remind you during
the next 7 shaves to replace the Foil & Cutter cassette. Then the shaver will
automatically reset the display.
After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette, use a ball-pen to push the reset button t for at least 3 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
