Shaver.

Warning

Your shaver is provided with a special cord set with an integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or manipulate any part of it. Otherwise there is risk of electric shock.

• Re-charging time in the Clean&Renew™:

8 hours.

• Re-charging time with the special cord set:

1 hour.

• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

Shaving

Turn on the shaver («start»):

The pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to every contour of your face.

Trimmer:

When the long hair trimmer is activated, it allows the controlled trimming of moustache or sideburns.

Charging

The best environmental temperature for charging is between 15 °C and 35 °C.

• First charge: Using the special cord set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off and charge the shaver for at least 4 hours.

• The green charging light blinks when the shaver is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light lights permanently.

• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on your beard growth.

• Once the shaver is completely charged, shave without the cord. With normal use the shaver will be charged automatically after every cleaning in the Clean&Renew™

(see separate use instructions).

• Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

Tips for the perfect shave

• We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing.

• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.

• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver foil and cutter block, when the replacement light (9) comes on

(after about 18 months), or when the shaving parts are worn.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Cleaning indicator

Your shaver should be cleaned daily in the

Clean&Renew™, and certainly when the yellow cleaning light (8) shines constantly after shaving. If this is not done, the yellow light will go out after some time. The shaver’s electronics will then assume it has been cleaned manually and a new calculation of the time when the next cleaning is required will be started.

5735458_Contour_5897_Japan Seite 30 Mittwoch, 9. Mai 2007 10:12 10

During the cleaning process in the

Clean&Renew™ the yellow light will flash and will go off after approx. 4 hours when cleaning is finished.

Automatic cleaning

Once the shaver is put into the

Clean&Renew™, it is cleaned automatically

(see separate instructions). Manual cleaning is recommended only when the Clean&Renew™ is not available, e.g. when travelling.

Manual cleaning water.

This appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open water tap.

Warning: Detach the hand-held part from the power supply before cleaning it in

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:

• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving head under hot running water.

A natural based soap may also be used provided it contains no particles or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.

• Next, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil.

• Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil.

Replacement light for shaving parts / Reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block, when the replacement light for shaving parts (9) comes on (after about 18 months) or when worn.

Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation.

(Shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3):

5000 series)

The replacement light will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the shaving parts.

Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil and cutter block), use a ball-pen to push the reset button (10) for at least 3 seconds to reset the display manually.

While doing so, the replacement light blinks and goes off when the reset is complete. The manual reset can be done at any time.

Preserving the batteries

In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every

6 months approximately. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

Environmental notice

This product contains rechargeable batteries. In the interest of protecting the environment, please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Repair Centre or at appropriate collection points provided in your country.

Clean&Renew™

Braun Clean&Renew™ has been developed for cleaning, charging and storing your shaver.

Clean your shaver daily in the Clean&Renew™.

• Hold the cartridge down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table). Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge. Slide the cartridge into the base as far as it will go.

Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.

During the automated cleaning process, the shaver is switched on and off at intervals to obtain best cleaning results. Since the specially formulated cleaning fluid contains a small amount of oil, the cleaning procedure also fulfills the lubrication needs of the shaver.

Replacing the cartridge

After having pressed the lift button to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge.

Important

• Only use the power supply cord set supplied with the shaver.

• In order to avoid any leakage of the cleaning fluid, place the appliance on a flat, stable surface. Do not tip, move suddenly or transport in any way if a cleaning cartridge is installed.

• Do not place the appliance in a mirror cabinet, nor store it over radiators, nor place it on polished or laquered surfaces. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

• The appliance contains highly flammable liquid. Keep it away from sources of ignition. No smoking.

Keep out of reach of children. Do not refill cartridge. Use only original Braun refill cartridge.

• When cleaning the shaver, its protection cap should be removed.

5 Cleaning cartridge

Before using Clean&Renew™

Installing the cartridge

• Press the lift button (1) to open the housing.

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 used cartridge can be disposed in the household waste.

Operating your

Clean&Renew™

• Connect your Clean&Renew™ with the cord set to the mains electricity supply. The special socket at the back is adjustable to save space. After each shave, switch the shaver off and put it into the Clean&Renew™, upside down and with the front showing.

• Push the start/release button (3) to lock and connect the shaver. The cleaning process will start. The yellow light on the shaver will flash during the complete process (approx.

5 minutes cleaning, 4 hours drying).

• Do not interrupt the cleaning process, as it leaves the shaver wet and not fit for use. If interruption is needed nonetheless, press the start/release button (3).

• When cleaning is finished, the yellow light will go off and the shaver is ready for use.

To release it, push the start/release button.

• A cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles. When the level indicator (4) has reached the «min» mark, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 5 more cleaning cycles.

Then the cartridge should be replaced, when used daily approx. every 4 weeks.

5735458_Contour_5897_Japan Seite 32 Mittwoch, 9. Mai 2007 10:12 10

• The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily should be replaced after approx.

8 weeks.

• Clean the housing from time to time with a damp cloth, especially the opening where the shaver rests.

Subject to change without notice.
