A Shaver

Your Braun Syncro is supplied with a Braun

Clean&Charge (please see section B).

SmartLogic Inside

The «SmartLogic» electronics inside your shaver ana-

lyzes your personal shaving patterns, and then adapts

the battery care and cleaning cycles to ensure optimal

performance.

Technical speciﬁcations:

•Wattage via low voltage cord: 7 W

• Power supply via mains adapter, input voltage:

100-240 V ~ / 50 or 60 Hz (automatic adaptation)

• Shaver input voltage: 12 V

Description

1 Foil protection cap 7 Charging light (green)

2 Shaver foil 8 Low charge light (red)

3 Cutter block 9 Pilot light

4 Foil release button 10 Shaver socket

5 Long hair trimmer 11 Power supply cord set

6 Switch

Charging the shaver

• First char

ging: Using the power supply cord set,

connect the shaver to the mains with the switch in

position «0» and charge it for at least 4 hours (plug

might get warm).

The SmartLogic inside your shaver automatically

monitors the condition of the batteries as well as the

charging/discharging processes and adapts them to

your personal shaving patterns.

•From now on, the SmartLogic inside your shaver will

ensure optimal care of the batteries. If, for instance,

it is your habit to never let the batteries get low, the

SmartLogic will recognize this, look for a pause

when you are likely to not use the shaver and com-

pletely discharge and then recharge your shaver to

recondition the batteries (every six months at the

most, and only when necessary).

•A full charge will give up to 50 minutes of cordless

shaving time depending on your beard growth.

However, the maximum battery capacity will only be

reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

• Best environmental temperature range for charging

is 60°F to 95°F / 15 °C to 35°C.

Indicator lights

The pilot light shows that the shaver is connected to the

mains.

The green charging light shows that the shaver is being

charged. When the rechargeable battery is fully charg-

ed, the charging light ﬂashes or goes off.

If later on, the charging light comes on again, this indi-

cates that the shaver is being recharged to maintain its

full capacity.

The red low-charge light ﬂashes when the battery capa-

city has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is

switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufﬁ-

cient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Shaving

Switch positions

0 = Off (switch is locked)

Press and push up the switch to operate the

shaver:

1 = Shaving with the pivoting head

The pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts

to every contour of your face.

2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle

(to permit shaving in difﬁcult areas, e.g. under the

nose)

3 = The long hair trimmer is activated (for trimming

sideburns, moustache and beard).

Shaving with the cord

If the rechargeable battery is discharged, you may also

shave with the shaver connected to the mains via the

power supply cord set.

(If the shaver does not run immediately, charge it with

the switch on position «0» for approx. 1 minute.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Automated cleaning

The Braun Clean&Charge takes care of all cleaning and

lubrication needs of your shaver. Please refer to the

separate use instructions.

Manual cleaning

For easy cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver

off. Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do

not remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver

for approx. 5-10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles

can fall out.

For a thorough cleaning (weekly), remove the shaver foil

and tap it out on a ﬂat surface. Using the brush, clean

the cutter block and the inner area of the pivoting head.

About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with

Braun cleaning agents.

If your skin is very dry and you notice a reduced opera-

tion time of the shaver apply a drop of light machine oil

onto the shaver foil.

Replacing the shaving parts

The shaver foil and cutter block are precision parts that,

in time, are subject to wear. Replace your foil and cutter

block every 18 months and get a 25 % better shave.*

(Shaver foil and cutter block: part No. 7000)

(* Overall evaluation from Braun users comparing their

shave with new parts and those used for 18 months.)

Tips for the perfect shave

• It can take 14-21 days for your beard to adjust to

the new shaving system.

•We recommend that you shave befor

e washing,

as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after

washing.

• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin.

• Stretch your skin and shave against the direction

of beard growth.

• Replace the shaver foil and cutter block every

18 months, or when the parts are worn, to ensure

optimum shaving performance.

B Clean&Charge

Braun Clean&Charge has been developed to automati-

cally clean and charge your shaver. It also serves as a

storage unit. For peak performance of your shaver,

clean it daily in the Clean&Charge.

During the automated cleaning process, the shaver is

switched on and off at intervals to obtain best cleaning

results. Since the specially formulated cleaning ﬂuid

also contains a small amount of oil, the cleaning proce-

dure also fulﬁlls the lubrication needs of your shaver.

Important

• Only use the power supply cord set supplied with

the shaver.

• In order to avoid any leakage of the cleaning ﬂuid,

place the appliance on a ﬂat, stable surface. Be

careful not to tip, move suddenly or transport in any

way if a cleaning cartridge is installed.

• Do not place the appliance in a mirror cabinet, nor

store it over radiators, nor place it on polished or

laquered surfaces. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

• The appliance contains highly ﬂammable

liquid. Keep it away from sources of ignition.

No smoking. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not reﬁll cartridge. Use only original Braun reﬁll

cartridge.

• When cleaning the shaver, its protection cap should

be removed.

Before using Clean&Charge

For the ﬁ

rst charge of the shaver, connect the power

supply cord set directly to the shaver, charge it for

4 hours and shave at least once.

Only then can the shaver be cleaned or recharged in the

Clean&Charge.

If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, select the

combined «clean + charge» program rather than the

«clean» program alone.

Installing the cartridge

Press the lift button (12) to open the housing.

Hold the cartridge down on a ﬂat, stable surface

(e.g. table). Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.

Slide the cartridge into the base as far as it will go.

Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it

locks.

Replacing the cartridge

After having pressed the lift button to open the housing,

wait for a few seconds before removing the used car-

tridge.

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.

Operating your Clean&Charge

• Use the power supply cord set from your shaver and

plug it into the Clean&Charge and then into a main

outlet.

Open the contact bow (13) by pressing the release

button (14). After shaving, switch the shaver off and

place it upside down into the Clean&Charge (without

having released the shaver foil).

• Select the operation mode by toggling with the

mode selector (15):

clean (about 15 min)

clean + charge (about 75 min)

charge (about 60 min)

The corresponding lights will come on.

(With cord shavers, only the «clean» function can be

selected.)

• Slide down the contact bow to connect the shaver

and to start the selected program.

If no program is selected, the default function

«clean» will be started.

• Do not interrupt a running program, as it leaves

the shaver wet and not ﬁt for use. If interruption is

needed nonetheless, press the release button.

• After a program has ﬁnished, the corresponding light

will go out. Prior to the next shave, press the release

button to release the shaver.

• When the «cartridge» light starts ﬂashing, the re-

maining ﬂuid in the cartridge is sufﬁcient for approxi-

mately 5 more cleaning cycles. After these 5 cycles,

the cleaning performance will be reduced and the

cartridge has to be replaced.

• When the «cartridge» light illuminates constantly, the

cleaning function is locked and a new cartridge has

to be installed.

Only then, the next cleaning cycle can be started.

•A cleaning cartridge should be sufﬁcient for about

30 cleaning cycles. With daily use, the cleaning

cartridge should be replaced approx. every 4 weeks.

• The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains

alcohol which, once opened, will naturally evaporate

slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not

used daily, should be replaced after approximately

8 weeks.

• Clean the housing from time to time with a damp

cloth, especially the opening where the shaver rests.
