Operating Your Braun S5 Shaver
Initial Activation and Charging
For first-time use, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet using the power supply. Once charged, unplug for cordless operation. The recommended charging temperature is 5°C to 35°C.
Shaving Technique
Hold the shaver head at a 90° angle to your skin, ensuring all shaving elements make full contact. Shave against the direction of hair growth using straight back-and-forth movements for optimal results.
Using the Trimmer Attachments
- Precision Trimmer (02-PT): Use for detailed shaping.
- Beard Trimmer (05-BT): Attach desired comb (1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 mm) by aligning and pressing until it clicks. Select the comb length for your preferred beard style.
- Body Trimmer (06-BDT): For sensitive areas, use the 1 mm comb. For other body grooming, use the 3 mm comb. Attach combs by aligning and pressing until they click.
- 3-Day Beard Trimmer (08-3DBT): Adjust the trimmer wheel to select lengths between 0.5 mm and 2.3 mm for a consistent stubble effect.
Using the Facial Cleansing Brush (03-BR)
The brush head is used for facial cleansing. It is recommended to replace the brush head approximately every 18 months. Avoid using on damaged or irritated skin or wounds. Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs. Avoid contact with eyes and hairline.
Travel Lock
Activate the travel lock feature to prevent accidental activation during transport. The display will indicate when the travel lock is engaged.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning Under Running Water
Rinse the foil & cutter cassette under hot running water after use with foam or gel. Switch the shaver on while rinsing to remove all residues. The facial cleansing brush (03-BR) should be rinsed under cool running water after each use.
Using the Cleaning Station (14)
The shaver, with the foil & cutter cassette attached, can be cleaned automatically in the cleaning station. The station typically performs cleaning cycles of 3, 6, or 9 seconds, depending on the model and selected program.
Lubrication
For optimal performance, it is recommended to oil the foil & cutter cassette periodically, especially for the trimmer attachments (02-PT, 05-BT, 06-BDT, 08-3DBT).
Foil & Cutter Cassette Replacement
The foil & cutter cassette (53B) should be replaced approximately every 18 months or when performance degrades, indicated by the display.
