BRAUN 5160S (01) PDF SUMMARY:

How do I install the Clean&Charge Station (C&C)?

• Remove the protection foil from the C&C display.
• Press the lift button (14) at the rear side of the C&C to lift up the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (18) 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.
• Using the special cord set (10a), connect the station power socket (13) to an electrical outlet.

What is important to remember when using the Clean&Charge station?

The shaver needs to be dry and free from any foam or soap residue.

How do I insert the shaver in the Clean&Charge station?

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

When does the shaver start charging in the Clean&Charge Station?

Charging will start automatically when the shaver has been placed in properly.

When should I clean the shaver in the Clean&Charge Station?

When the cleaning indicator (5c) lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the C&C, as described above.

What are the different cleaning programs for the Clean&Charge Station?

• Short economical cleaning: normal level of cleaning.
• High intensive cleaning.

How do I start automatic cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station?

Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button (17). If status light (16b) does not shine (C&C 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.

How long does each cleaning program take in the Clean&Charge Station?

Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. Depending on your Clean&Charge Station model and/or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes. During this time the status light blinks. Leave the shaver in the station for drying. It takes several hours until remaining moisture evaporates depending on the climatic conditions. After completing the cleaning and charging procedure, all indicators turn off.

How do I remove the shaver from the Clean&Charge Station?

Hold the C&C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

When should I replace the Cleaning Cartridge in the Clean&Charge Station?

When the level indicator (16a) 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 (14) 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.

What is the typical lifespan of the hygienic cleaning cartridge?

The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol 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 hygiene. Do not squeeze the cartridge during use, as this can lead to excessive foam generation, 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.

How often should I replace my shaver’s Foil & Cutter cassette?

It is recommended to change the shaver’s Foil & Cutter cassette every 18 months to maintain maximum performance.

What are the available accessories?

Available at your dealer or Braun Service Centres:

• Foil & Cutter cassette: 52S/52B
• Cleaning Cartridge: CCR

What are the environmental considerations for disposal?

The product contains batteries and/or recyclable electric waste. For environment protection do not dispose of in household waste, but for recycling take to electric waste collection points provided in your country. The cleaning cartridge can be disposed of with regular household waste.

Why is my shaver not charging completely and the light keeps blinking?

The ambient temperature is out of the valid range. The recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C.

Why is the shaver not starting to charge when connected to a power socket?

• Sometimes charging could start delayed (e.g. after long storage). Wait a few minutes to see if charging will start automatically.
• The ambient temperature is out of the valid range. The recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C.
• The special cord set is not plugged in properly. Ensure the special cord set snaps into place.

Why does my shaver head have an unpleasant smell?

• The shaver head is cleaned with water. When cleaning the shaver head with water only use hot water and from time to time some liquid soap (without abrasive substances). Remove Foil & Cutter cassette to let it dry.
• The cleaning cartridge is in use for more than 8 weeks. Change the cleaning cartridge at least every 8 weeks.

Why has the battery performance of my shaver dropped significantly?

• The foil and cutter are worn which requires more power for each shave. Renew the Foil & Cutter cassette.
• The shaver head is regularly cleaned with water but not lubricated. If the shaver is regularly cleaned with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.

Why has the shaving performance of my shaver dropped significantly?

• The foil and cutter are worn. Renew the Foil & Cutter cassette.
• The shaving system is clogged. Soak the Foil & Cutter cassette into hot water with a drop of dish liquid. Afterwards rinse it properly and tap it out. Once dry apply a drop of light machine oil on the foil.

Why is the shaver head damp?

• Drying time after automatic cleaning was too short. Clean directly after shaving to allow enough time for drying.
• Drain of the Clean&Charge Station is clogged. Clean the drain with a wooden toothpick.

Why is the Clean&Charge Station not starting cleaning when I press the start button?

• The shaver is not placed properly in the Clean&Charge Station. Insert shaver into the Clean&Charge Station and push it to the rear side of the station (contacts of the shaver need to align with contacts in the station).
• The cleaning cartridge contains not enough cleaning fluid (display blinks red). Insert a new cleaning cartridge. Press the start button again.

Why is there an increased consumption of cleaning fluid?

The drain of the Clean&Charge station is clogged. Clean the drain with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean.
