Our products are designed to meet the highest standards
of quality, functionality and design. We hope you enjoy
your new Gillette shaver powered by Braun.
The system tells you when to replace the shaving foil and
cutter block.
Warning
Keep the appliance dry. Your shaver is provided with a
special cord set with integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage
power supply. Do not exchange or manipulate any part of
it. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

Charging the shaver
• When charging for the first time: Using the special cord
set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet.
The shaver must be switched off. Charge it for at least
4 hours (special cord set and shaver might get warm).
Once the shaver is completely charged, shave until
fully discharged. Then recharge to full capacity again
(1 hour).
• A full charge will give up to 50 minutes of cordless
shaving time, depending on your beard growth.
However, the maximum battery capacity will only be
reached after several charging/discharging cycles.
• Best environmental temperature range for charging is
from 15 °C to 35 °C.
• When fully discharged, you may also shave with the
shaver connected to an electrical outlet via the special
cord set.

Indicator lights
Pilot light (11): The shaver is connected to an electrical
outlet.
Model 550: When the shaver is fully charged, all five
charging lights (7) will light up (20% per light), provided
the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet or switched
on.
The red low charge light (8) 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
Switch positions
off = (switch is locked)
Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver:
on = Shaving with the pivoting head
(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts
to every contour of your face).
fix = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle
(to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the
nose).
trim = The long hair trimmer is activated
(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).

Cleaning
Never use water to clean the shaver.
For easy cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver off.
Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do not
remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for
approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can
fall out.
Then remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface.
Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head.
However, do not clean the shaver foil nor the cutter block
with the brush as this may damage them.
Keeping your shaver in top shape
About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun
cleaning agents. Put a drop of light machine oil onto the
long hair trimmer and the shaver 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 and cutter block: 51S)
The replacement light will remind you during the next 7
shaves to replace the shaving parts. Then the shaver will
automatically reset the display.
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 your skin and shave against the direction of
beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace
your foil and cutter block, when the replacement light
(9) comes on (after about 18 months), or when worn.

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 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 re-
chargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged
(through normal use) 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.
