Keeping your Braun Series 5 shaver clean is essential for optimal performance. Here's how to manually clean it, using two primary methods: cleaning under running water and using a brush.
Cleaning Under Running Water:
- With the shaver turned on (if cordless), hold the shaver head under warm, running water to rinse away hair and debris.
- For a deeper clean, you can use a small amount of mild liquid soap. Avoid soaps with abrasive substances.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, and let the shaver run for a few additional seconds.
- Turn the shaver off, then press the release button to detach the Foil & Cutter cassette.
- Allow all parts to air dry completely.
- If you regularly clean your shaver with water, apply a drop of light machine oil to the Foil & Cutter cassette once a week to maintain its performance.
Cleaning with a Brush:
- Ensure the shaver is turned off, and remove the Foil & Cutter cassette.
- Gently tap the cassette on a flat surface to dislodge loose hairs.
- Use the cleaning brush provided with your Braun Series 5 or a soft-bristled brush to clean the inner areas of the shaver head.
- Do not use the brush to clean the Foil & Cutter cassette itself, as this could cause damage.
- Once cleaned, reassemble the shaver by carefully reattaching the Foil & Cutter cassette.
Cleaning your Braun Series 5 shaver after each use will help extend its life and maintain a close, comfortable shave. For detailed instructions and diagrams, please consult the Braun Series 5 Shaver Instruction Manual.
