Shaving the underarm and bikini area:
Remove the OptiShave attachment for a
perfect reach. Always stretch your skin
when shaving.
Bikini area styling:
For trimming precise lines and contours,
lock the long hair trimmer by sliding the
TrimLock to the position (C1). To trim hair
to a uniform length, lock the long hair
trimmer and place one of the bikini zone
trim attachments (7) onto the shaver head
(C2). For optimum results, move the
appliance slowly against the direction of
hair growth. For fast and best results
when trimming long hair, we recommend
that you use the 4mm bikini zone trim
attachment.
When you are finished
After shaving, you may want to smooth
on a little body cream or lotion. However,
avoid using irritating substances like
deodorants with alcohol right away.
Cleaning
Cleaning the shaver head with the
brush (D1)
• Press the release buttons to remove
the shaver head. Tap the bottom of the
shaver head gently on a flat surface
(not on the foil).
• Brush out the cutter block and the
inside of the shaver head. However, do
not clean the shaver foil with the brush
as this may damage the foil.
Cleaning the shaver head under
running water (D2)
The shaver head is suitable for
cleaning under running tap water.
• Press the release buttons to remove
the shaver head.
• Rinse the shaver head and the cutter
block separately under warm running
water. A natural based soap may
also be used provided it contains no
particles or abrasive substances.
Rinse off all foam.
• Leave the cutter block and the shaver
foil to dry separately.
How to clean and maintain the Skin
Smoothing attachment
To clean the Skin Smoothing attachment
(6), first remove it (E), then thoroughly
brush out the smoothing pad (6a). From
time to time, you may also clean it with
soapy water. Let it dry before using it
again.
A spare smoothing pad (6b) is included
for replacement.
Keeping your Braun Silk&Soft
in top shape
• The shaving parts need to be
lubricated regularly every 3 months (F).
If you clean the shaver head under
running water, lubricate it after each
cleaning.
Apply some light machine oil or
vaseline to the shaver foil and the
metal parts of the long hair trimmer.
Then remove the shaver head and also
apply a tiny amount of vaseline as
shown in picture section (F).
• The shaver foil and the cutter block are
precision parts that wear out with time.
To maintain optimum shaving perform-
ance, replace your foil and cutter block
when you notice a reduced shaving
performance.
• Do not shave with a damaged foil or
cord.
• How to replace the shaving parts
Shaver foil: Press the release buttons
to remove the shaver head. To remove
the shaver foil, press the blue plastic
frame (G). To mount a new one, insert it
from inside the shaver head.
