Cleaning your Braun Series 5 shaver manually is straightforward and can be done in two ways: with running water or using a brush. Here's a guide to each method:
Cleaning with Running Water:
- Turn on the cordless shaver and hold the shaver head under hot running water until all hair and debris are gone.
- For a deeper clean, add a small amount of mild liquid soap.
- Rinse away all the soap and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
- Turn off the shaver, press the release button to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette, and let all parts 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 keep it in top condition.
Cleaning with a Brush:
- Make sure the shaver is turned off and remove the Foil & Cutter cassette.
- Gently tap the cassette on a flat surface to remove loose hairs.
- Use the cleaning brush (provided with your shaver) or a soft-bristled brush to clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Be gentle to avoid damage.
- Do not use the brush on the Foil & Cutter cassette itself.
- Once cleaned, reassemble the shaver by carefully inserting the Foil & Cutter cassette back into place.
Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Braun Series 5 shaver. For detailed visual instructions, always refer to the Braun Series 5 Shaver Instruction Manual.
