- Rinse the shaver head and the shaver body under hot running water until all hair residues are removed.
- Shake off excess water and let the shaver head air dry.
- Thorough Cleaning (Weekly or as needed):
- For a more thorough clean, use the provided cleaning brush to remove stubborn hair particles from the shaver head and inner parts.
- Do not use the brush on the foil itself, as this can damage it.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a drop of light machine oil (e.g., Braun shaver oil) to the shaver foil and cutter block to maintain optimal performance.
- Replacing Shaver Parts:
- To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver foil and cutter block every 18 months, or when worn.
- Replacement parts are available from Braun retailers or online.
7. Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Shaver does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. | Charge the shaver for at least 5 minutes, or fully for 50 minutes of use. |
| Poor shaving performance. | Foil or cutter block is worn or dirty. | Clean the shaver head thoroughly. Consider replacing the foil and cutter block if they are older than 18 months. |
