Braun 7840S Series 7 Wet & Dry Electric Shaver

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 shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

• Using the special cord set 12, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off and charge it for at least one hour.

• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.

Personalizing your shaver

By holding down the accelerator button –/+ (6 or 7) you can adjust the shaving power to your individual needs in the different areas of your face from sensitive to intensive. The pilot light in the on/off switch 5 changes within the following range:

(–) sensitive shave

- light blue

- dark blue

- green

(+) intensive shave

For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the green (intensive) setting. When switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.

How to use

Press the on/off switch 5 to operate the shaver:

• The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of your face.

• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the shaver head lock switch 3 to the back position to lock the pivoting head at an angle.

• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer 4 upwards.

Tips for the perfect dry shave

For best shaving results, Braun recommends you follow 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.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:

• 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.

• Next, switch off the shaver, press the release button 2 to remove the 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 on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver with a brush:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette 1 and tap it out on a flat surface. Using a brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it.

Replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette / reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the Foil & Cutter cassette 1, when the replacement symbol lights up on the shaver display 9 after about 18 months or when cassette is worn.

The replacement symbol 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, use a ball-pen to push the reset button 8 for at least 3 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.
