4. On/off switch

5. Charging lights (green)

To charge your BRAUN SERIES 3 380, follow these instructions:

The best environmental temperature for charging is between 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

• Using the special cord set (9), connect the shaver or the charging stand (10) to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.

• When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours.

• Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour.

• A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on your beard growth. The maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

• A 5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a single shave.

Charging lights (green):

The green charging lights show the charge status of the batteries. The green charging light blinks when the shaver is being charged or switched on. When the battery is fully charged, all green charging lights shine permanently, provided the shaver is switched on or connected to an electrical outlet.

Low-charge light (red):

The red low-charge light flashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Shaving:

Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the shaver. The flexible shaving foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face.

Long hair trimmer:

To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the long hair trimmer upwards.

Precision setting switch («lock»):

For precise handling in hard to shave areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the switch (3) to the right to position «lock». The centre trimmer and one foil will be lowered.

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 right angles (90°) to your skin.

3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

Additionally, the BRAUN SERIES 3 380 is suitable for use in a bath or shower.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. You can clean your BRAUN SERIES 3 380 in two ways:

Rinsing under running water:

• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water. 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, remove the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and let it dry.

• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer (2) and shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1).

Cleaning with a brush:

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

• Using a brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it.

Replacement light for shaving parts/Reset:

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1), when the replacement light for shaving parts (7) comes on (after about 18 months) or when worn. The correct replacement part is the Foil & Cutter cassette: 32S.

The replacement light will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the Foil & Cutter cassette. Then the shaver will automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette, press the on/off switch (4) for at least 5 seconds to reset the counter. While doing so, the replacement light blinks and goes off when the reset is complete. The manual reset can be done at any time.

Preserving the batteries:

In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every 6 months approximately. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.

The BRAUN SERIES 3 380 contains rechargeable batteries. In the interest of protecting the environment, please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at appropriate collection sites provided in your country.
