Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality,
functionality and design. We hope you entirely enjoy your new Braun shaver.

Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or manipulate any part of it.
Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
Never use the appliance with a damaged foil or cord.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced
physical or mental capabilities, unless they are given supervision by a person
responsible for their safety. In general, we recommend that you keep the
appliance out of reach of children. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

Charging (190s only)
The best environmental temperature for charging is between 15 °C
and 35 °C.
• Using the special cord set, 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. The charging light (5) shows that the shaver is being
charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light intermit-
tently blinks on and off. This indicates that the battery maintains its full
capacity.
• A full charge provides up to 30 minutes of cordless shaving time
depending on your beard growth.

• Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through
normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take
about 1 hour.
• 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.
Shaving
Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch (6). The floating
foil frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth
shave.
For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the long hair
trimmer (4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with the
foil.
Trimming
Push out the long hair trimmer (a). It allows controlled trimming of moustache
and sideburns. It evenly cuts and trims larger areas: ideal for shaping
sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards.
Frequent use of the long hair trimmer may reduce the battery capacity
(190s only).
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 your foil and cutter
block at least every 18 months or when worn.
Cleaning
The shaver head is suitable for cleaning under running tap water.
Warning: Detach the shaver from the power supply before cleaning
the shaver head in water.
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:

• Model 190s only: Switch the shaver on 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, (model 190s: switch off the shaver) remove the shaver foil (2) and
cutter block (3). Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided (c):
• 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.
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 (d).
Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block
at least every 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: 10B)
Preserving the batteries (190s only)
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.

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 Service Centre or at appropriate collection points
provided in your country.
Subject to change without notice.
