The 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 special cord set (5), connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off. When charging for the first time or when the shaver is not used for a few months, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours.
- Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour.

- A 5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.
- Type 5408 only: You can also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best 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.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance.
Cleaning under running water:
- 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, remove the Foil and 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 (not included) onto the Foil and cutter cassette (1).
Cleaning with a brush
- Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil and cutter cassette and tap it out on a flat surface.
- Use a small brush with soft bristles (not included) and clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the Foil and cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it.
