Operating the Shaver
Shaving
Press the On/Off button to start the shaver. For optimal results, hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin and shave against the direction of hair growth. Apply gentle pressure. The shaver's flexible head adapts to your facial contours.
Dry Shaving
Ensure your face is dry before dry shaving. This method is convenient for quick shaves.
Wet Shaving
The Series 9 is designed for use with foam, gel, or even in the shower. Apply shaving foam or gel to your face before shaving. Rinse the shaver head under running water during and after shaving for a smooth glide and easy cleaning.
Using the Precision Trimmer
To activate the precision trimmer, slide the trimmer release button upwards. Use the trimmer for shaping sideburns, mustaches, or for pre-trimming longer hairs before shaving. After use, slide the trimmer back down.

Maintenance
Manual Cleaning
For a quick clean, rinse the shaver head under hot running water after each use. You can also use the included cleaning brush to remove hair particles from the shaver head. Ensure the shaver is switched off before cleaning with the brush.
Using the Clean&Charge Station
The Clean&Charge station automatically cleans, lubricates, dries, and charges your shaver. After shaving, place the shaver head-down into the station. Press the start button on the station to initiate the cleaning cycle. The station will select the appropriate cleaning program based on the shaver's cleanliness.
Note: The cleaning cartridge contains alcohol and should be handled with care. Replace the cartridge approximately every 3 weeks, depending on usage.
Replacing Shaver Parts
To maintain peak performance, it is recommended to replace the shaver head (foil and cutter block) every 18 months. Replacement parts can be purchased from authorized Braun retailers or online.
