Charging
(model 190s only)
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 shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for
extended periods of time.
• Using the special cord set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the
motor switched off.
• When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to charge continuously for
4 hours. The charging light (5) shows that the shaver is being charged. When
the battery is fully charged, the charging light intermittently blinks on and off.
This indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity.
• A full charge provides up to 30 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on
your beard growth.
• Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through normal
use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour.
• Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging /
discharging cycles.
• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also shave by connecting
the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.
Shaving
Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch (6). The floating foil
frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave.
For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the long hair trimmer
(4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with the foil.
Trimming
Slide the long hair trimmer upwards. It allows controlled trimming of moustache
and sideburns. It evenly cuts and trims larger areas: ideal for shaping sideburns,
moustaches and partial short beards.
Frequent use of the long hair trimmer may reduce the battery capacity (model
190s only).
Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best shaving 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.
