3 Precision setting switch («lock»)
4 On/off switch
5 Charging lights (green)
6 Low-charge light (red)
7 Replacement light for shaving parts
8 Shaver power socket
9 Special cord set

Charging
The best environmental temperature for charging is between 60 °F to 95 °F /
15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than
122 °F / 50 °C for extended periods of time.
Using the special cord set (9), connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with
the motor switched off. When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to
charge continuously for 4 hours.
Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through
normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take
about 1 hour.
A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving time depending
on your beard growth. However, the maximum battery capacity will only be
reached after several charging/discharging cycles.
If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also shave by
connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.
5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.
Charging lights
The green charging lights (5) show the charge status of the batteries. The
green charging light blinks when the shaver is being charged or switched on.
When the battery is fully charged, all green charging lights shine permanently,
provided the shaver is switched on or connected to an electrical outlet.
Low-charge light
The red low-charge light (6) flashes when the battery capacity has dropped
below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will
then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Shaving
Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the shaver (picture).
The flexible shaving foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face
(picture).
Long hair trimmer
To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the long hair trimmer (2)
upwards.
Precision setting switch («lock»)
For precise handling in hard to shave areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the
switch (3) to the right to position «lock». The centre trimmer and one foil will
be lowered.
Tips for the perfect shave
For best results, Braun recommends you follow 3 simple steps:
1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.
Cleaning
The hand-held unit should be detached from the power supply cord before
cleaning. The shaver should not be used until it has dried.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver
head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep
it clean:
Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot
running water. 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, remove the shaver 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 onto the long hair trimmer (2) and shaver
Foil & Cutter cassette (1) (picture).
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:
Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it
out on a flat surface (picture).

Using a brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not
clean the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it
(picture).
Keeping your shaver in top shape
Replacement light for shaving parts/Reset
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver Foil & Cutter
cassette (1), when the replacement light for shaving parts (7) comes on (after
about 18 months) or when worn.
Foil & Cutter cassette: 32S
The replacement light will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the
Foil & Cutter cassette. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.
After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), press the on/off switch
(4) for at least 5 seconds to reset the counter.
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 six months approxima-
tely. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.
Environmental notice
This appliance contains rechargeable batteries. To protect the
environment, do not dispose of the appliance in the household waste
at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service
Center or appropriate collection sites.
Subject to change without notice.
For electric specifications, see printing on the special cord set.
