«Clean&Charge station»).

Charging shell (see fig. B)

set (10), connect the shell power socket (12b) to
an electrical outlet.
• Place the shaver into the charging shell. The
contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to
align with the contacts (12d) in the charging shell.
A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits prop-
erly in the station.

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 right angles
(90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the
direction of your beard growth.
Cooling
Note: The cooling sensation experienced may differ
from person to person. It is influenced by personal
and environmental factors (e.g. skin, environmental
temperature).
Activation: To activate the cooling function, press
the cooling switch (3) during shaving. The symbol
in the cooling switch shines blue. For best cooling
performance, we recommend to wait a few seconds
after the cooling function has been activated.
Then continue shaving as usual.
Low battery: The symbol
starts blinking when the battery is running low and
there is not enough energy left for the cooling func-
tion. You should be able to finish your shave with
activated cooling function. We recommend to
charge the appliance afterwards to have the cooling
function available for the next shave.
You can deactivate the cooling function by pressing
the cooling switch again.
