This shaver also comes with a travel case and cleaning brush for added convenience.

Basic operating information

• A full charge takes 1 hour and provides up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary depending on your beard growth and ambient temperature.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 41 °F to 95 °F / 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 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C to 35 °C.
• Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 122 °F / 50 °C for extended periods of time.
• When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, it may take some minutes until the display illuminates.

Charging

• Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet by snapping the power supply (10) into the power socket of the shaver (9) or the charging stand (10 a). For cc models plug into the station power socket (see chapter «Clean & Charge Station»). 
• For first-time charge, charge continuously for at least 1 hour. 
• The actual charge status is shown on the display.

Display

• The display information is dependent on the model.
• Some models only show icons during charging or operation. On other models a series of icons is also shown after the shaver has been turned off.
• The table below shows the icons that can appear on the shaver display.

Usage

Make sure that the shaver is disconnected from the power supply. Press the on / off button (4) to operate the shaver.

Tips for a perfect shave

1. Position the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
2. Stretch your skin slightly with your hand.
3. Shave against the direction of your beard growth.

Multi Head Lock switch (head lock)

The shaver head can be locked in five positions to shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose).

• Slide the Multi Head Lock switch (3) down to lock the shaver head. 
• Move the shaver head manually to your desired position.
• For automatic cleaning in the Clean & Charge Station the head lock needs to be released.

Precision trimmer

1. The trimmer can be used to trim sideburns, moustache or beard.
2. Press the release button (8) and slide the trimmer (6) upwards.

Travel lock

1. The shaver can be locked to avoid unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing in a suitcase).
2. Press the on / off button (4) for 3 seconds to lock / unlock the shaver. This is confirmed by a beep sound and the lock icon appearing / disappearing on the display.

Foil replacement

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), when the foil replacement indicator lights up and no status segments are visible. 

• To remove the Foil & Cutter cassette press the release buttons (2).
• Press the on / off button for 8 seconds to reset the counter.
• Afterwards you need to unlock the shaver (see chapter «Travel lock»).
• On some shaver models the replacement indicator will reset automatically after 7 shaves.

Setup Guide

1. Charge your Braun Series 9 Shaver for the first time for at least 1 hour, or use the quick charge feature for a 5-minute shave.
2. To turn on the shaver, press the power button. To lock the device during travel, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds until the lock icon appears.
3. To clean your shaver, place it in the SmartCare Center and select the desired cleaning program. The cleaning cycle will start automatically.
4. To replace the shaver head, lift the head and pull it straight off. Align the new head with the arrow on the handle and press it down until it clicks into place.
5. Ensure that the shaver is fully charged before long trips to avoid running out of battery.

Cleaning

Cleaning under running water
Especially important after foam or gel usage

• Switch on the shaver cordless and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues have been removed. You may use liquid soap without  abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver, press the release buttons (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and let it dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette once a week.
  The shaver needs to be cleaned under running water after each foam or gel usage!

Cleaning with a brush

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it!

Clean & Charge Station (C & C)*
The Clean & Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating, drying and storing your Braun shaver.
Important

• Only use the special electric cord set supplied with the shaver as power supply.
• To prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking, ensure that the Clean & Charge Station is placed on a flat surface. When a cleaning cartridge is installed, do not tip, move suddenly or transport the station in any way as cleaning fluid might spill out of the cartridge.
• Do not place the station inside a mirror cabinet, nor place it on a polished or lacquered surface.
• The cleaning cartridge contains a highly flammable liquid so keep it away from sources of ignition. Do not expose to direct sunlight and cigarette smoking nor store it over a radiator.
• Do not refill the cartridge and use only original Braun refill cartridges.

DANGER : FLAMMABLE. CONTENTS MAY CATCH FIRE. Do not smoke. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from flames such as pilot light, and any object that sparks such as electric motor. Keep locked up. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. 

CAUTION : MAY IRRITATE EYES. Do not get in eyes.
FIRST AID TREATMENT: Contains ethanol. If swallowed, call a Poison Control Centre or doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If in eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes.

C & C Installation

• Remove the protection foil from the C & C display.
• Press the lift button (13) at the rear side of the C & C to lift the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (17) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
• Slide the cartridge from the rear side into the base of the station until it snaps in.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
• Using the power supply (10), connect the station power socket (12) to an electrical outlet.

C & C Usage

Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam, gel or soap residue!

• Insert the shaver in the C & C upside down, with the front showing and head lock (3) released.
• The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts (14) in the C & C. Push the shaver backwards in the correct position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the C & C.
• Only C & C with cleaning program selection: The C & C analyses the hygiene status. The status is shown by the cleaning program indicators (15c) in the C & C display (15).

Charging the shaver in the C & C

Charging will start automatically when the shaver has been inserted properly. 

Cleaning the shaver in the C & C

When the cleaning indicator lights up on the shaver display, insert the shaver into the C & C, as described above.
Cleaning programs (not with all models)

• short / economical cleaning 
• normal level of cleaning 
• intensive cleaning

Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head.
Automatic cleaning

• Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button (16). If status light (15b) does not shine (C & C switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice. Otherwise, cleaning will not start. 
• Depending on your model and / or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to  3 minutes and afterwards a fan runs. During this time the status light (15b) blinks. 
• After cleaning, drying and charging is completed, all indicators turn off.

Removing the shaver from the C & C
Hold the C & C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.
Cleaning cartridge / replacement

• When the level indicator (15a) lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced – about every 4 weeks when used daily.
• After having pressed the lift button (13) to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. 
• Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning solution.
• The used cartridge can be disposed of in the household waste, or via household hazardous waste programs if they exist in your province/municipality.
• The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Therefore, each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks. 
• The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for the shaving system, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of the C & C. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth and do not impact the shaver and its performance in any way.
