BRAUN 5030S (01) PDF Document

Please observe the following safety warnings when using your BRAUN 5030S shaver:

• Your appliance is provided with a special cord set, which has an integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or tamper with any part of it, otherwise there is risk of an electric shock. Only use the special cord set provided with your appliance.

• If the appliance is marked with 492, you can use it with any Braun power supply coded 492-XXXX.

• Do not shave with a damaged foil or cord.

• The shaver is suitable for cleaning under running tab water. Detach the shaver from the power supply before cleaning it in water.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 years and supervised.

Before first use, remove any protection foil from the shaver display and connect the shaver to an electrical outlet using the special cord set. When the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet, it may take a few minutes until the display illuminates.

Charging and basic operating information:

• A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.

• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 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 15 °C to 35 °C.

• Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

The shaver display shows the charge status of the battery.

• Charge status: During charging, the battery symbol will blink. When fully charged while connected to an electrical outlet, the battery symbol will light up for a few seconds.

• Low charge: The low-charge light flashes red when the battery is running low. You should be able to finish your shave. When switching off the shaver, a beep sound reminds you of the low charge status.

• Travel lock: The lock symbol lights up when the shaver has been locked to avoid unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing it in a suitcase).

For best results, Braun recommends you follow these 3 simple steps:

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.

To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose), slide the MultiHeadLock switch down to lock the shaver head. The shaver head can be locked in five positions. To change position, move the shaver head with your thumb and forefinger back or forth. It will automatically click into the next position.

To set it back into the pivoting position, the MultiHeadLock switch needs to be slid up again.

To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, press the release button (8a) and slide the long hair trimmer (6) upwards.

Yes. If the BRAUN 5030S shaver has run out of power (discharged), you may also shave with the shaver connected to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

• Activation: By pressing the on/off switch for 3 seconds, the shaver is locked. This is confirmed by a beep sound and the lock symbol in the display. Afterwards, the display turns off.

• Deactivation: By pressing the on/off switch for 3 seconds, the shaver is unlocked again.

You can clean the BRAUN 5030S shaver under running water or with a brush.

Cleaning under hot running water (cordless):

1. Switch the shaver on (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.

2. Next, switch off the shaver, press the release button to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and let it dry.

3. If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.

Cleaning with a brush:

1. Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it out on a flat surface.

2. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. Do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it!

Braun recommends changing your shaver’s Foil & Cutter cassette (model 52S/52B) every 18 months to maintain your shaver’s maximum performance.

The BRAUN 5030S contains batteries and/or recyclable electric waste. For environment protection do not dispose of it in household waste, but for recycling, take it to electric waste collection points provided in your country.

If your BRAUN 5030S shaver does not start, the travel lock may be activated. Press the on/off switch for 3 seconds to unlock the shaver.

This may happen if the ambient temperature is outside of the valid range. The recommended ambient temperature for charging your BRAUN 5030S is 5°C to 35°C.

There are a couple of reasons this might happen with your BRAUN 5030S:

• Sometimes charging can be delayed, for example, after a long period of storage. Wait a few minutes to see if charging starts automatically.

• The ambient temperature may be outside of the valid range. Ensure the charging temperature is between 5°C and 35°C.

If there is an unpleasant smell, it may be because the shaver head was cleaned only with water. When cleaning the shaver head of your BRAUN 5030S with water, use hot water and from time to time some liquid soap (without abrasive substances). Remove the foil & cutter cassette to let it dry completely.

If the battery performance of your BRAUN 5030S has dropped, consider the following:

• If the shaver head is regularly cleaned with water but not lubricated, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.

• The foil and cutter may be worn, which requires more power for each shave. Renew the foil & cutter cassette.

A drop in shaving performance of your BRAUN 5030S can be due to two main reasons:

1. The shaving system is clogged. To fix this, soak the foil & cutter cassette in hot water with a drop of liquid dish soap. Afterwards, rinse it properly and tap it out. Once dry, apply a drop of light machine oil on the foil.

2. The foil and cutter are worn. You should renew the foil & cutter cassette.

This happens when the foil and cutter are worn, which requires more power for each shave. To resolve this, renew the foil & cutter cassette. It is also recommended to regularly oil the shaving system, especially when cleaning with water only.
