Description

The Braun Wet & Dry Electric Shaver 9280cc features a sleek and ergonomic design, making it comfortable to hold and maneuver. The shaver head is equipped with advanced trimmers that capture and cut hairs in one stroke, reducing the need for multiple passes. The intelligent sonic technology adjusts to the density of your beard, ensuring an optimal shave every time.

The included charging dock not only charges the shaver but also cleans and lubricates it, extending the lifespan of the blades. The lithium-ion battery provides sufficient power for several shaves on a single charge, and the travel lock ensures safe transportation.

Tips for a perfect dry shave

1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

Setup Guide

To operate the Braun Wet & Dry Electric Shaver 9280cc, 

• Start by charging the device using the provided charging dock. 
• Once charged, simply turn on the shaver and adjust the trimmer settings as needed. 
• For wet shaving, apply your preferred shaving cream or gel before shaving. For dry Sshaving, ensure your skin is clean and dry.

Manual cleaning of the shaver

(see fig. B/C)

Cleaning under running water

• 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 completely.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil (not included) on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette and the long hair trimmer.
  The shaver should be cleaned after each foam 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!

The Foil & Cutter cassette can be attached either way. There is no impact on the shaving performance.

Installing the Clean & Charge Station 

(see fig. D)

• Press the lift button (13) at the rear side of the Clean & Charge Station to lift up 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 into place.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks.
• Connect the station to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10) into the power socket (12).

Charging the shaver in the Clean & Charge Station

• Insert the shaver head with the front showing and release the head lock into the cleaning station.

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

The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts (14) in the station. Push the shaver in the correct position. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the station. Charging will start automatically.

Cleaning the shaver 

• When the cleaning indicator lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the Clean & Charge Station, as described above and press the start button (16).
• The hygiene status will be analyzed and is shown by the cleaning program indicators (15c) in the Clean & Charge Station display.
• If status light (15b) does not shine (Clean & Charge Station switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice. Otherwise cleaning will not start. For best shaving results, we recommend cleaning after each shave.
• The cleaning process consists of several cycles, in which cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. Depending on the program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes, followed by an active drying phase of about 40 minutes, during which a fan is running.
• Afterwards charging will resume, which is indicated in the shaver display. When the shaver is fully charged the display turns off.

Cleaning programs

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

Removing the shaver from the Clean & Charge Station 

(see fig. E)

• Hold the Clean & Charge Station with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning Cartridge 

(see fig. F)

• 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 3 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 hygienic cleaning cartridge contains alcohol or isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal disinfection. 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 Clean & Charge Station. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth.
