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.

First use and Charging

Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10) into the power socket (9) or for cc models via the Clean&Charge Station (see Chapter «Clean&Charge Station»).

Charging and basic operating information

• When charging for the first time, charge continuously for 1 hour.
• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures.
• Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C.
• Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
• When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, it may take some minutes until the display illuminates.

Shaver display

Charge status The shaver display (5) shows the charge status of the battery when connected to an electrical outlet:

• During charging the respective battery segment will blink.
• When fully charged all battery segments will light up for a few seconds then the display turns off.

Low charge

The low-charge light flashes 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. The last 9 minutes of remaining shaving time are displayed in digits (depending on your model /display).

Cleaning status The cleaning indicator lights up when the shaver needs to be cleaned in the Clean&Charge Station.

Travel lock The lock symbol lights up when the shaver has been locked to avoid unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing in a suitcase).

Using the shaver (see fig. A)

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 (headlock) 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 headlock should be released.

Long hair trimmer To trim sideburns, mustache or beard press the release button (8) and slide the long hair trimmer (6) upwards.

Travel lock

• 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 the shaver is unlocked again.

Manual cleaning of the shaver (see fig. B/C)

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 buttons (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), and let it dry completely.
• If you regularly clean the shaver underwater, then apply once a week 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!

The Foil & Cutter cassette can be attached either way. There is no impact on the shaving performance.

Clean&Charge Station

The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating, disinfecting, drying, and storing your Braun shaver.

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

Installing the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. D)

• Press the lift button (13) at the rear side of the Clean&Charge Station to lift up the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (17) 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.
• Connect the station to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10) into the power socket (12).

Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. D) Insert the shaver head with the front showing and released head lock into the cleaning station. Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap residue! The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts (14) in the station. Push the shaver in the correct position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the station. Charging will start automatically.

Cleaning the shaver (see fig. D) When the cleaning indicator lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the Clean&Charge Station, as described above and press the start button (16).

The hygiene status will be analyzed and is shown by the cleaning program indicators (15c) in the Clean&Charge Station display.

If status light (15b) does not shine (Clean&Charge Station switches to stand-by after about 10 minutes), press the start button twice. Otherwise cleaning will not start. For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning after each shave.

The cleaning process consists of several cycles, in which cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. Depending on the program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes, followed by an active drying phase of about 40 minutes, during which a fan is running.

Afterward charging will resume, which is indicated in the shaver display. When the shaver is fully charged the display turns off.

Cleaning programs

Removing the shaver from the Clean&Charge Station (see fig. E) Hold the Clean&Charge Station with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. F) When the level indicator (15a) 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 3 weeks when used daily).

After having pressed the lift button (13) 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 Clean&Charge Station. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.

FAQS

How long does the charge last?

It depends on how often you use it and how thick your hair is. If you shave every day, it should last for about a week.

How long does it take to charge?

It takes about an hour to fully charge the razor.

How do I clean the shaver?

You can clean the shaver by running it under water, or by using the cleaning brush that comes with your shaver.

How do I know when to replace the blades?

You can check for wear and tear of the blades by using the cleaning brush that comes with your shaver. If you notice any wear and tear, then it’s time to replace them.

How do I change the blades?

You can find replacement parts for your shaver at Braun’s website. Just go to www.braun.com and click on “Support”.

Does anyone know the difference between the 9290 and the 9295 besides the color?

According to the Series 9 User Manual, the 9290 and 9295 are identical except for finish. If the manual is correct, the responses by Hall and by Gates are incorrect.

how well does this work on the head?

It works great, I shave my head every week, very close shave

Does this have an adjustment for closeness?

No, our Series 9 Electric Shavers do not have an adjustment for closeness. – The Braun Team

What are the dimensions of the base?

The base is 6″ high, 4.5″ wide and 6″ deep. Installing the shaver into the base adds 4″ to the height

Where can I find the return policy for this item on the product page?

On the top tray of Amazon at the right hand side you will see your cart. Just to the left side of the cart is “Returns and Orders”. Click on it and scroll down to find the Item you want to return. On the right hand side of the item will be a “Return items” box, click on it. If it is not there, you have waited too long. You normally have 30 days to return.

Shaver was beeping yesterday for hours. I would push the on off button it starts for a second and turn off. working now but won’t clean in base?

It’s possible your shaver isn’t securely in place in our Clean & Renew Station. To make sure, please insert your shaver into the Clean & Renew Station and push it to the rear side of the station (contacts of the shaver need to align with contacts in the station). Insert a new cleaning cartridge and press the start button again. This should do the trick, however, if it doesn’t, we’d be more than happy to further troubleshoot this with you. Just give us a call at (800) 272-8611.

Does the shaving head come off so I can clean the blades from inside?

The top of the head ( the blade section) comes off when you squeeze in the sides. I rinse the blades after each shave to keep it clear. Let it dry before replacing.

Can the charge station that comes with the Series 9 9330 be used for the 9390?

The clean and charge stations are specially designed to only work with the model shavers that they come with. If a shaver doesn’t come with one, then it won’t be compatible with any of the ones we make.

How to clean 9330s?

Use the cleaning solution in the tower, it not only cleans but lubricates the foil. If you don’t have a charging/ cleaning tower just run the foil and head of the unit under warm water but the best option is the aforementioned step.

What is the maximum length of hair for which this shaver is effective? (1 mm? 3 mm? Longer?)

There is no specified maximum length as the 9 Series has features to maintain its cutting efficacy in many circumstances. If you have grown past stuble, it would be beneficial to use a trimmer with no guard to prepare the beard for shaving. Not only will it be a better shave, but you will help maintain the expected life of the razor’s head.

Will the 2 year warranty cover for any malfunction and product damage?

That’s a great question! Our 2-year limited warranty covers manufacturer defects. However, it will not cover damages caused by misuse or lifetime wear on the device. – The Braun Team

Can you charge the shaver without using the cleaning station, i.e., plug the cord into a wall outlet and directly into the shaver itself?

Yes. The shaver has a socket that you can plug in the charging cord directly. Note that you can’t use the shaver while it is connected, however.

How does it work?

Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 works beneath the skin surface by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, helping to break the cycle of hair re-growth. With continued, periodic use, the light energy helps prevent unwanted hair from reaching the skin surface.

The intelligent SensoAdapt™ skin sensors (2) continuously read your skin tone before every flash, automatically adapting the light intensity for best efficacy and safety. This allows treatment of appropriate skin tones, but prevents treatment if your skin tone is too dark.

Contraindications

Do not use the device …

• if your skin is darker than skin tone V shown on the skin tone chart on page 3. Since dark skin absorbs more light energy, treating very dark skin may cause discomfort/pain and adverse effects (e.g., burns, blisters, discoloration or scarring) and injure your skin.
• if you are pregnant, lactating, or under the age of 18 as this device has not been tested with these individuals.
• if you have a history of skin cancer or precancerous lesions (e.g., nevi or a large number of moles).
• If your skin has been artificially or naturally tanned recently. Your skin may be sensitive following sun exposure and particularly susceptible to side effects of IPL treatment (e.g. burn, blister, discolour or scar to your skin). Also, avoid unprotected exposure to direct sunlight after your IPL treatment.

Certain conditions can also prohibit the use of this device. Do not use the device if any of the following applies:

• You have a chronic medical condition.
• You have a chronic skin disease (e.g. psoriasis or vitiligo) or damaged skin (e.g. sunburn, cuts, open wounds or active infections) in the areas you wish to treat.
• You have varicose veins in the area you wish to treat.
• You have a known sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) or are taking medication that may make the skin more sensitive (e.g. Retin A, Accutane and/or other topical retinoids).
• You have had a professional skin peel treatment on the area you wish to treat.
• You have any of the above, this device may injure your skin or make existing conditions worse. You may experience side effects such as burns, blisters and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation) or scarring.

If you are unsure whether this device is safe for you to use, please consult your physician or dermatologist.
If you take any kind of medication regularly and over a long period of time, please consult your physician for any potential impact on skin sensitivity to light.

How to use

Preparing the treatment area
Remove any visible hair on the skin before using the device. You may use your preferred hair removal method. To keep the treatment window clean and intact, ensure there is no hair remaining on the skin surface. Clean the treatment area and pat it dry

To power on the device:
Use the mains cord (8) to connect the base station to an electrical outlet. Press any button (4 or 5) to activate the device. The LED power bars (3) will light up once and a fan starts running. This means the device is in READY mode. During operation, the device will heat up slightly.

Automatic light adaptation
When both skin tone sensors (2) have skin contact, the device reads your skin tone and selects the appropriate light intensity which is indicated by white LEDs on the Power bars (3). These confirm that the device is ready to flash.

	light skin tone ➜ high light intensity
	dark skin tone ➜ low light intensity with fast flash rate
no LEDs	no skin contact ➜ device will not flash
red LED	invalid skin tone ➜ device will not flash

Gentle mode
Push the gentle mode button (4) to reduce the light intensity. You can toggle through the following 3 settings:

Standard: 3 indicator lights
Gentle: 2 indicator lights
Extra gentle: 1 indicator light (lowest light intensity with fast flash rate)

Gentle and extra gentle settings are intended for sensitive areas and first time users. With reduced light intensity, more treatments may be required to see the desired effects.

The power bars flash to confirm a change in the light intensity setting.
When holding the gentle mode button (4) longer than 3 seconds, the device is deactivated. After 10 minutes without use, the device is automatically deactivated. Press any button to re-activate it.

Patch Test
Before your first treatment, we recommend you test your skin for reaction to Braun Silk·expert on a small area of skin of the body part you plan to treat (about 2 x 3 cm in size; equivalent to the size of two flashes, side by side).
Perform a patch test as described below in chapter «Treatment methods», section «STAMPING».
Wait 48 hours to examine the test area. If the skin appears normal, begin your first treatment. If a skin reaction develops, discontinue using the device and consult your physician.

Treatment methods

The area to be treated must be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pushing the treatment button, look away from the device to avoid the bright light. In seldom cases, a user may find the flash too bright. However, there is no safety risk associated with this. For increased comfort, we recommend treating in a well-lit room to help reduce the perceived brightness.

GLIDING for fast and efficient treatment of large areas (e.g. legs).	STAMPING for treating small, hard-to reach areas (e.g. face for females, bikini line, underarms, knee, chin, ankles)
1. Place the treatment window firmly on your skin, ensuring both skin sensors have skin contact. The power bars (3) show white LEDs
2. Press and hold the treatment button (5). The device will begin to flash.	2. Press and instantly release the treatment button (5). The device will emit a flash.
3. Move the device slowly and continuously from the bottom to the top of the treatment area. Make sure to always keep full skin contact so that the device flashes continuously.	3. Lift off the device and place it onto the next adjacent spot to be treated. Wait for the power bars to show white LEDs. Then press and release the treatment button.
Once the gliding stroke is completed, lift the device off the treatment area. Repeat steps 1-3 to treat the next adjacent area in a parallel stroke.	Continue treatment spot by spot until you have completed the entire area you wish to treat.

Make sure you avoid missed areas by placing the treatment window directly next to the previously treated spot without leaving any space between treated areas.
Avoid overlapping treatment or treating the same area twice as this may increase the chance of producing  adverse reactions.

If you feel intense pain, stop treatment immediately and consult your physician before using the device again.

Treatment head(s)

The standard head (10) can be used on all areas.
The wide head (11)* is efficient on large body areas.
The precision head (12)* has been specifically designed for small, curvy, hard to reach areas.
In case your Silk-expert comes with two precision heads, one of it is marked +. This helps distinguishing the head used on the face from the one used on other body areas.

How to treat the face (females only)

• Before treating the face, make sure you have done a patch test. Remove any visible hair and cosmetics, lotions and creams from the area you wish to treat.
• Before pressing the treatment button, close your eyes or look away to avoid the bright light. Avoid treating the same area twice as this may increase the chance of producing adverse reactions.
• When treating the upper lip area, a void contact with the lips and the nostrils. The central area below the nostrils might be sensitive.
• Do not use on permanent / semi-permanent lip liner on the lip margin.
• TIP: You can press your lips together to ensure that the light does not activate on the upper lip itself.
• Hair growth under the chin can be denser and coarser. This can sometimes lead to slight skin reddening following a treatment. This redness is temporary and should completely disappear after 24 hours.

NOTE:

• If redness or a burning sensation occurs and lasts for several minutes, apply a cool cloth/pad to soothe the area.
• If any pigment changes in the skin, e.g., lightening or darkening, are observed, stop using the device. Seek medical advice to determine the cause which may be due to an underlying medical condition.

Treatment plan

The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 16 months depending on body area (underarm, lower leg, bikini area). Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. For this reason, we recommend
In case you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. You can   switch to the maintenance treatments.

After treatment

Once you have completed your treatment, unplug the mains cord from the electrical outlet.
After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF >15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the sun. We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums.
Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight-fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or exfoliation products. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas.

Cleaning and storage

After each treatment, inspect the treatment window (1), the skin tone sensors (2), the glass filter (9) and the built-in reflectors for damage. Do not touch or clean the glass filter immediately after use to allow it to cool down. Wipe the treatment window with a dry, lint-free cloth if any marks or black spots are visible. Do not rinse or immerse the device in water or any other liquid. To ensure maximum performance, keep the heads (10, 11, 12) with their built in reflectors free from dirt, hair or other debris. Do not clean in water, but use a dry cloth for cleaning them carefully. Store the device in a cool, dry place. Make sure the treatment window and skin sensors are protected from damage.

Possible side effects

Some people will experience slight discomfort (e.g. heat or redness of the skin) when using the device – this is normal. You may feel heat and tingling when activating the flash, followed by redness in the skin.
This type of reaction usually disappears within 24 hours. Adverse reactions are usually immediate or appear within 24 hours. In rare cases, they may take up to 72 hours to appear. If you experience abnormal skin reactions please contact your physician.

The Braun ThermoScan® Ear Thermometer is indicated for intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature for people of all ages.

Important safety information

Please consult your doctor if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of absence of fever. The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F). Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below –25 °C / –13 °F or over 55 °C / 131 °F) or excessive humidity (> 95 % RH). This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan® disposable Hygiene caps. Other probe covers can lead to inaccuracy. To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this thermometer with a new, clean, disposable Hygiene cap. If the thermometer is accidentally used without a disposable Hygiene cap, clean the lens after use (see «Care and cleaning»). Keep disposable Hygiene caps out of reach of children. This thermometer is intended for household use only. Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. The ThermoScan® Ear thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. This thermometer must stay in stable ambient (room) temperature for 30 minutes before operating.

Audio fever indicator
Thermometer will signal by beeps normal temperature, fever or high fever.

Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of measurement and it tends to decrease with age. It also varies from person to person and fluctuates throughout the day. Therefore, it is important to determine normal temperature ranges.

How to use your Braun ThermoScan®

Before taking the temperature, make sure the ear is free from obstructions or excess earwax. Do not attempt to take the reading without a disposable Hygiene cap on – the measuring sensor must be kept protected and clean from earwax to give accurate readings. Change the disposable Hygiene cap with each use to ensure hygiene, to keep a child safe from cross-contamination and to ensure earwax residues on the disposable Hygiene cap do not impact accuracy of the reading.

1.  To turn the thermometer on, push the «start» button (4).
   • During an internal self-check, the display shows all segments.
   • The reading shown on the screen is the last temperature taken.
   • A flashing symbol of a Hygiene cap will appear if no Hygiene cap is attached. Temperature can be taken only if Hygiene cap is mounted on the probe.
   • The thermometer is ready to use after two beeps are sounded and the non-flashing ear icon appears.
2.  In clinical studies, precision and accuracy of ear thermometer measurement has been shown to be influenced by variability in user technique. Correct probe placement is essential for accurate measurements. Place the ear probe snugly in ear canal and direct towards opposite temple, then push the “start” button (4). Keep the thermometer steady in the ear canal.
   The temperature in right and left ear differs, always compare measurements from the same ear. The natural physiological difference may reach 0.2 °C. In the absence of confounding factors, in high-risk population (like infants or immunosuppressed people) use the highest of the two to interpret the patient’s condition. One beep signals normal temperature. Audio fever indicator will trigger 2 consecutive beeps when the reading is equal or higher to 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) and 4 beeps if the reading is equal or higher to 38.6 °C (101.5 °F). The result is shown on the display (7).
3.  Gently pull off the disposable Hygiene cap (2). Do not use force in removing the disposable Hygiene cap.
4.  Put on a new, clean, disposable Hygiene cap by snapping into position.
5. Place the protective cap on (1).
   The Braun ThermoScan Ear thermometer turns off automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity. The thermometer can be turned off by pressing and holding the start button for more than 5 seconds.

Disposable Hygiene caps

Use a clean disposable Hygiene cap with each measurement:

1.  To ensure hygienic use
2.  To protect your child from cross-contamination
3.  To ensure earwax residues do not impact the accuracy of the reading.

Earwax and dirt on the tip of the disposable Hygiene cap, even in microscopic layers, can create an obstacle between the sensor and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the accuracy of the measurement.

Temperature-taking hints

• Replace the disposable Hygiene cap with every use to to maintain accuracy, hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination.
• A measurement taken in the right ear may differ from the measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.
• The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.
• External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:
  • been lying on one ear or the other
  • had their ears covered
  • been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or
  • been recently swimming or bathing.
  • In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
• If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal of one ear, take the temperature in the untreated ear.

Care and cleaning

The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings. If the thermometer is accidentally used without a disposable Hygiene cap, clean the probe tip as follows: Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol. Do not use cleaners other than alcohol on the probe tip. Use of other cleaners could damage the tip. Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new disposable Hygiene cap can be put on and a temperature measurement taken. If the probe tip is damaged, please contact your authorized local service center. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and product exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid. Store the thermometer and disposable Hygiene caps in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight. Additional disposable Hygiene caps (LF40) are available at most stores selling Braun ThermoScan.

Trouble-shooting

Using the shaver

Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the shaver.

Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best results, Braun recommends you to follow 3 simple steps:

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 (C&C) (not with all models)

The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating, disinfecting, drying and storing your Braun shaver.

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

Installing the C&C

• 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 (10), 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 in the C&C

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

Cleaning the shaver in the C&C

When the cleaning indicator (5c) lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the C&C, as described above.

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.

Troubleshooting

FAQS

Serie 5 5018s works with 220V?

Positive. If you order one. For me it works.

What is the difference between these three model shavers which one shaves the best??

All of our shavers will provide a close and comfortable shave. However, your experience will vary depending on what model you have. To know the difference between our shavers, and give you a product recommendation, give us a call at 800-272-8611. – The Braun Team

Is the good for the genital area as well?

No, face only.

this works with 220v?

Yes, since our Series 5 5050cs has a voltage of 100-240V, it will work with 220V.

does it have a replacement blade indicator on this model?

There is no replacement blade indicator on our Series 5 5050cs.

When the battery is fully discharged or damaged can you still use it by just plugged it in ?

No, (for safety reasons?) the shaver is designed not to operate while plugged in.

What is foil adapter?

Some Braun shavers have a foil adapter for the beard and a hair adapter for clipping longer beard and regular hair. Foil is a misleading name for the regular shaver adapter because it’s a thick metal piece and most US customers would not refer to that as a “foil.” But it is what is is according to Braun.

Will this shaver turn on if it is plugged in? I’m looking for a razor that will outlast its battery?

Yes, it will turn on if it’s plugged in.

Which one works best for the face? The foil or the stainless steel one? Confusing?

The Foil gives the closest shaves from an electric Razor, however nothing is better than steel blades for close evening entertainment.

Will it work on legs?

Yes, our Series 5 5050cs can work on legs. However since it’s designed to be used on the face/neck area, it won’t be as effective.

Is there a travel case available for these new design shavers ?? they are longer and bulkier than the old design?

We do not currently make a travel case for this shaver.

Where is this product manufactured?

Our Series 5 Shavers are made in Germany.

does it shave close and easy under nose?

With the Precision Trimmer EasyClick attachment, you’ll have no problems getting a close and easy shave with our Series 5 5020s.

Does this give as close a shave as a razor blade? Almost as close as a razor blade? 

No it does not shave as close as a regular razor.

Does this come with charger?

Yes of course it comes with a charger. It works with 110 and 220 voltage. So can be used while traveling to any country.

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast temperature measurements in the ear.

The shape of the thermometer probe prevents it from being inserted too far into the ear canal which can hurt the eardrum.

However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical to obtaining accurate temperatures.

Therefore, read the instructions carefully and thoroughly.

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer is intended for intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature for people of all ages. It is intended for household use only.

Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Please consult your doctor if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of absence of fever.
• Please consult your doctor if the thermometer shows elevated temperature.

The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 50 – 104 °F (10 – 40 °C).
Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below –13 °F / –25 °C or over 131 °F / 55 °C) or excessive humidity (> 95 % RH). This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan lens filters (LF 40).

To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter attached.

If the thermometer is accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens (see «Care and cleaning» section). Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

This thermometer is intended for household use only. Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.

This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age babies.

It is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. Do not allow children under 12 years to take their temperature unattended.

Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.

Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s). For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure, changes in appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive medical attention.

People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.

Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or in adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:

• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F or 37.4 °C).
• Patients over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients).
• Patients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
• Patients who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery)
• A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney).

This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or produce a choking hazard to children. Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.

Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of measurement, and it tends to decrease with age. It also varies from person to person and fluctuates throughout the day. Therefore, it is important to determine normal temperature ranges. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan. Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members
to determine the normal temperature range.

Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the ThermoScan temperature is a
temperature measured in the ear and if possible, note the individual’s normal ThermoScan
temperature range as additional reference.

How does Braun ThermoScan work?

Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissues. To help avoid inaccurate temperature measurements, the probe tip is warmed to a temperature close to that of the human body. When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the infrared energy. The measurement is finished and the result displayed when the thermometer detects that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken.

Why measure in the ear?

The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature¹ which is the temperature of the vital organs. Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body temperature², since the eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain³ , the hypothalamus. Therefore, changes in body temperature are reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites. Axillary temperatures measure skin temperature and may not be a reliable indicator of core body temperature. Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating and mouth breathing. Rectal
temperatures often lag behind changes in core body temperature and there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to achieve an accurate reading from my thermometer?

ALWAYS replace the disposable lens filters with a genuine Braun lens filter to maintain accuracy and hygiene. The use of any other brand may alter the reading.

The right ear measurement may differ from the measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, ALWAYS take the temperature in the same ear. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.

External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:

• Poor probe placement
• Used lens filter
• Dirty lens

In the cases below, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.

• Extreme hot and cold room temperature
• Hearing aid

Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal.

Use the ear that has been facing upwards, if an individual has been lying down on their side with an ear face down on a pillow.

What is my Braun Thermometer warranty?

This 3-year limited warranty applies to repair or replacement of product found to be defective in material or workmanship. This warranty does not apply to damage resulting from commercial, abusive, unreasonable use or supplemental damage. Defects that are the result of normal wear and tear will not be considered manufacturing defects under this warranty.

What should I do if my thermometer is reading an Err message?

This will occur if the ambient temperature is not within the allowed operating range (50 – 104 °F or 10 – 40 °C.)  In order to resolve this, we would recommend you allow the thermometer to remain for 30 minutes in a room where the temperature is between 50 and 104 °F or 10 and 40 °C.

What does a flashing display or no display mean when I turn on my thermometer?

A flashing display indicates a system error. We suggest waiting 1 minute until the thermometer turns off by itself and then turns on again. If the problem persists, reset the thermometer by removing the batteries momentarily.

How do I change the temperature scale from Celsius to Fahrenheit (or vice versa) on my thermometer?

Press and hold the start button.

The Thermometer will turn on and show the start screen, where you will see all of the symbols on the display.

Continue holding the button down, it will show C or F for one second and then change to say SET for one second.

The pattern will continue as you hold down the start button. F → SET → C → SET

To select the option you want, release the activation/start button when the setting you want appears on the screen.

How can I view the last temperature taken on my thermometer?

This model stores the last 9 temperature measurements. To display the stored measurement, the thermometer must be turned on. Press the Mem button. The display shows the temperature, and when releasing the Mem button, the stored temperature for that memory number is displayed, together with “M”.  Each time the Mem button is pushed, the stored reading and an M is displayed to indicate each temperature measurement (e.g. M2).  Memory mode is automatically exited by not pressing the memory button for 5 seconds.

How do I store my thermometer?

Store thermometer and lens filters in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight. Always store the thermometer with the protective cap or with the cradle in place to prevent dirt and scratches from damaging the device.

Do not store this thermometer in temperature extremes below -13 °F or over 131 °F or in excessive humidity (above 95% relative humidity).

If thermometer is stored in a location that is cooler or warmer than where it will be used, allow it to acclimate to the room temperature for 10 minutes before taking the measurement.

How do I use the Braun Lens Filter?

To avoid inaccurate measurements ALWAYS use this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter attached.

If the thermometer is accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens.

The lens filter indicator will blink to signal one is needed.

Attach a new lens filter by pushing the thermometer probe straight into the lens filter inside the box and then pulling out.

Note: The Braun ThermoScan will not work unless a lens filter is attached.

For the next measurement, press Eject button to remove and discard used lens filter, and put on a new, clean lens filter. For models without and eject button (ThermoScan 3 and 4), pull off lens filter and discard.

What is ExacTemp®?

ExacTemp® is a guidance system that confirms good position in the ear with a light and a beep to ensure accurate temperature measurement.

Does Braun offer a stick thermometer?

Braun does not offer a digital stick thermometer, but we recommend using the Vicks digital thermometers.  They are clinically accurate, provide color-coded fever guidance and fast readings.

Are batteries included with thermometers?

Yes, the Braun Thermoscan® 5 IRT6500 includes two AA batteries.

Do Braun thermometers come with lens filters?

Lens filters are included with all our Ear thermometers.  Please use a new lens filter after each use for an accurate reading.

Do all Braun thermometers take the same size lens filter?

Yes. Braun lens filters are universal across all our Ear thermometers & Braun lens filters are the only brand to ensure an accurate reading when used with Braun thermometers.

Are Braun lens filters BPA free?

Yes, Braun disposable lens filters are BPA & latex free.

What are the benefits to using an ear thermometer?

The ear is a good site for temperature measurement because it reflects the core temperature of the body^[1]. Body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus^[2], which shares the same blood supply as the tympanic membrane^[3]. This means changes in core body temperature are usually detected sooner in the tympanic membrane than other areas.  All Braun infrared ear thermometers feature ThermoScan® technology, which measure heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue to give an accurate temperature on an easy to read digital display in seconds.

How do I clean my thermometer?

Gently wipe the surface of the probe tip with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol (70% Isopropyl).

What is Age Precision® Technology?

Clinical research shows the definition of fever changes as newborns grow into children & children grow into adults. The Age Precision feature takes the guesswork out of temperature taking, allowing you to select the appropriate age setting – 0-3 months, 3-36 months or 36+ months.
