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.
Models 5090cc/5070cc/5050cc: For automatic
cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station the head lock
should be released.

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.
Model 5040s 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!
