Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. Thank you for your trust in Braun’s quality and we hope you enjoy your new Braun product. Read these instructions completely, they contain safety information. Keep them for future reference.
Warning
Your appliance 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.
If the appliance is marked 492, you can use it with any Braun power supply
coded 492-XXXX.
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.
Detach the shaver from the power supply before using it with water. Do not shave with a damaged foil or cord. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa-bilities 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.
Clean & Charge Station
To prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking, ensure that the Clean&Charge
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 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 expose to direct sunlight and cigarette smoking nor store it
over a radiator. Do not refill the cartridge and use only original Braun
refill cartridges.

First use and charging
Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10a) into the shaver power socket (9) / the charging stand (10b) or for cc models via the Clean&Charge Station (see Chapter «Clean&Charge Station»).
Basic operating information
- A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.
- The 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.
- The recommended ambient temperature for storage and shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C.
- Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
- When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, it may take some minutes until the display illuminates.
Charging / low charge
The charge status is shown in the shaver display (5).
- During charging the respective charging segment (5b) will blink.
- When the shaver is fully charged and connected to an electrical outlet, all 3 charging segments will light up for a few seconds. Then the display turns off.
- The battery symbol (5d) will flash red, when the battery is running low. You should be able to finish your shave. With switching off the shaver a beep sound reminds of the low charge status.
Using the shaver
Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the shaver.
Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best results, Braun recommends you to follow 3 simple steps:
- Always shave before washing your face.
- At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
- Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.
MultiHeadLock switch (headlock)
- To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the MultiHeadLock switch (3) down to lock the shaver head.
- The shaver head can be locked in five positions. To change position, move the shaver head with your thumb and forefinger back or forth. It will automatically click into the next position.
- For automatic cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station the head lock should be released.
Long hair trimmer
To trim sideburns, moustache or beard press the release button (8) and slide
the long hair trimmer (6) upwards.
Travel lock
- The lock symbol (5a) lights up in the display when the shaver has been locked to avoid the unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing it in a suitcase).
- Activation: By pressing the on/off switch (4) for 3 seconds the shaver is locked. This is confirmed by a beep sound and the lock symbol in the display. Afterwards, the display turns off.
- Deactivation: By pressing the on/off switch for 3 seconds again the shaver is unlocked.
Manual cleaning of the shaver
Cleaning under running water
- Switch on the shaver (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 (2) to remove the 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 on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.
The shaver should be cleaned after each foam usage.
Cleaning with a brush
- Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil and cutter cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it!
Clean&Charge Station (C&C) (not with all models)
The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging,
lubricating, disinfecting, drying and storing your Braun shaver.

18 Cleaning cartridge
Installing the C &C
- Remove the protection foil from the C&C display.
- Press the lift button (14) at the rear side of the C&C to lift up the housing.
- Hold the cleaning cartridge (18) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).
- Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
- Slide the cartridge from the rear side into the base of the station until it snaps into place.
- Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
- Using the special cord set (10a), connect the station power socket (13) to an electrical outlet.
Using the C &C
Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap
residue! Insert the shaver in the C&C upside down, with the front showing and
released head lock (3). The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to
align with the contacts (15) in the C&C. Push the shaver in the correct
position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the C&C. The
C&C analyzes the hygiene status. The status is shown by the cleaning program
indicators (16c) in the C&C display (16).
Charging the shaver in the C &C
Charging will start automatically when the shaver has been placed in properly.
Cleaning the shaver in the C &C
When the cleaning indicator (5c) lights up in the shaver display, insert the
shaver into the C&C, as described above.
- Cleaning programs
- Start automatic cleaning
Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button (17). If status light (16b) does not shine (C&C switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice. Otherwise cleaning will not start. For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning after each shave. Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. Depending on your Clean&Charge Station model and/or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes. During this time the status light blinks. Leave the shaver in the station for drying. It takes several hours until the remaining moisture evaporates depending on the climatic conditions. After completing the cleaning and charging procedure, all indicators turn off.
Removing the shaver from the C &C
Hold the C&C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to
release it.
Cleaning cartridge / Replacement
When the level indicator (16a) lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid
in the cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles. When the level
indicator blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced – about every 4 weeks
when used daily. After having pressed the lift button (14) 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 a contaminated cleaning solution. The hygienic cleaning cartridge
contains ethanol or isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once
opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not used daily,
should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal disinfection.
The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for the shaving system, which
may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of
the C&C. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.
