Turning on the Shaver and Cleaning

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 under water, then apply once a week a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette. Models 9080s w&d/9040s w&d only: 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.

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

Plugging Shaver Into Base

• Remove the protection foil if any from the Clean&Charge Station display.
• Press the lift button (15) at the rear side of the Clean&Charge Station to lift up the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (19) 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 (11) into the power socket (14).

Charging the shaver in the CleanandCharge 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 (16) 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 Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. F)

When the level indicator (17a) 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 (15) 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 denatured ethanol (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 it take to charge?

It takes about an hour and a half to charge the shaver.

How long does the battery last?

The battery can last up to 50 minutes.

How do I clean the shaver?

You can rinse the shaver under running water.

What is the cleaning dock for?

The cleaning dock is for charging, cleaning, and lubricating the shaver.

What is the SmartPlug for?

The SmartPlug is for automatic voltage adjustment in different countries.

Can I use this shaver with shaving cream?

Yes, you can.

Can I use this shaver with shaving gel?

Yes, you can.

What is the difference between Braun Series 7 and Braun Series 9?

While the Series 7 was quite good with longer hairs, the Series 9/Pro is even better and will easily get those stray, wiry hairs that would normally require repetitive strokes and often cause your shaving sessions to take longer. Winner: the Braun Series 9/Series 9 Pro.

Can you use Braun Series 9 in the shower?

Is it waterproof? All Braun shavers are watertight which means the shaver head can be rinsed under running water for easy cleaning. However, ONLY Braun shavers that are specifically designated as Wet & Dry (W&D) models can be used in the shower or bath.

Should I wet my face before shaving with an electric razor?

A dirty, oily face can gum up an electric razor, making it more difficult to get a proper shave. Wash your face with water and a skincare product prior to shaving. This will help to keep the shaver from pulling out hair, as opposed to cutting it.

How do I know if my electric shaver is dull?

Well, there are a few signs that usually signal precisely that: The closeness of the shave starts to suffer. If you find yourself constantly going over the same area repeatedly and pressing harder in order to get a close shave, it probably has something to do with the blades becoming dull.

How do you know if your razor is sharp enough?

Hanging Hair Test.

Either hold the hair hanging down and simply tap the hair with the blade or hold the blade up right and drop the hair onto the blade. If the hair “pops” from a simple touch on the edge then your blade is sharp.
