Important Safety Information

Warning: Your appliance is provided with a special cord set with 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 with the symbol 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 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities 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.

Components:

• 13 Station power socket
• 14 Lift button for cartridge exchange
• 15 Station-to-shaver contacts
• 16 Clean&Charge Station display (16a Level indicator, 16b Status light, 16c Cleaning program indicators)
• 17 Start button
• 18 Cleaning cartridge

Installation:

• 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

Charging will start automatically when the shaver has been placed in properly.

Charging/low charge status:

• 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:

1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

MultiHeadLock switch (head lock):

• 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 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 & 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 Cleaning Programs

Cleaning programs:

• Short economical cleaning
• Normal level of cleaning
• High intensive cleaning

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 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 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.
