Unboxing and Components
Upon opening your Braun Series 9 package, carefully inspect the contents to ensure all components are present. Typically, you should find the Braun Series 9 shaver itself, a charging cord, a cleaning brush, and potentially a protective cap for travel. Many models, such as the 9090cc and 9290cc, also include the Clean & Charge Station, a cleaning cartridge, and a travel pouch.
The shaver body is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip. Familiarize yourself with the power button, the sliding on/off switch (often functioning as a travel lock), and the pop-up trimmer located on the back of the shaver head. The Clean & Charge Station is a key component for maintaining optimal hygiene and shaver performance. It automatically cleans, lubricates, and charges your shaver.
Refer to images available on sites like manuall.co.uk and avito.ru to visually confirm all included parts. Ensure the charging cord is compatible with your local power outlet. If any components are missing or damaged, contact Braun customer support immediately. Proper identification of each part will be crucial for following the instructions in this manual and maximizing your shaving experience.
Charging the Braun Series 9
Initial Charge: Before your first use, it’s crucial to fully charge your Braun Series 9 shaver. This typically takes approximately one hour for a full charge, providing up to 60 minutes of shaving time. Connect the charging cord directly to the shaver or, if you have the Clean & Charge Station, place the shaver into the station.
Charging Indicators: During charging, a charging indicator light will illuminate, often flashing to signify charging is in progress. Once fully charged, the indicator light will typically become solid or change color. Refer to the specific model’s instructions (found on sites like mcgrp.ru) for precise indicator meanings.
Clean & Charge Station: Utilizing the Clean & Charge Station simultaneously cleans, lubricates, and charges your shaver. Ensure a cleaning cartridge is properly installed within the station. The station’s display will indicate the charging status. A full cleaning cycle and charge typically take around an hour. It’s recommended to charge the shaver regularly, even when not in use, to maintain optimal battery performance. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures during charging.
Understanding the Control Panel
The Braun Series 9 control panel provides intuitive control over your shaver’s functions; Typically, you’ll find a power button for turning the shaver on and off. A display screen indicates battery level, cleaning status, and selected settings. Some models feature a sensitivity mode button, allowing you to adjust the shaver’s intensity for different skin types and beard densities.
Travel Lock Indicator: A dedicated indicator light signals when the travel lock is engaged, preventing accidental activation during travel. The cleaning indicator alerts you when it’s time to clean the shaver, either manually or using the Clean & Charge Station. Refer to resources like manuall.co.uk for specific button layouts and functions related to your model.
Personalization Options: Advanced Series 9 Pro models may offer additional customization options accessible through the control panel, such as intensity levels and personalized shaving modes. Understanding these controls allows you to tailor your shaving experience for optimal comfort and closeness. Always consult your model’s specific manual (available on mcgrp.ru) for detailed explanations of each control’s functionality.
Dry Shaving Technique
For optimal dry shaving with your Braun Series 9, begin with a thoroughly dry face. Gently stretch your skin with one hand while guiding the shaver with the other. Hold the shaver at a 90-degree angle to your skin, avoiding excessive pressure. The Series 9’s five shaving elements are designed to capture hairs even with short, linear motions.
Contour Adaptation: Utilize the pivoting head to follow the contours of your face and jawline. Shave against the grain for a closer shave, but be mindful of sensitive areas. For thicker beards, pre-trimming with a beard trimmer can enhance the shaver’s performance. Resources like manuall.co.uk suggest short, controlled strokes for best results.
Neck Area: Pay close attention to the neck area, as hair growth direction can vary. Adjust your technique accordingly. Avoid applying too much force, as this can cause irritation. After shaving, inspect for any missed hairs and gently touch up as needed. Remember to clean your shaver after each use to maintain hygiene and performance, as detailed on mcgrp.ru.
Wet Shaving with the Series 9
Your Braun Series 9 is designed for both dry and wet shaving, offering enhanced comfort and closeness. Before wet shaving, thoroughly wet your face with warm water and apply your preferred shaving gel or foam. The Series 9’s waterproof design allows for seamless in-shower shaving, maximizing convenience.
Lubrication & Comfort: The wet shaving mode utilizes the shaver’s sonic vibrations and the lubrication of the gel to reduce friction and irritation. Maintain a consistent, gentle pressure against your skin, allowing the shaver’s five shaving elements to glide smoothly. Contour adaptation remains crucial; utilize the pivoting head to navigate facial curves.
Post-Shave Care: After wet shaving, rinse your face with cool water to close pores. Resources like manuall.co.uk recommend applying a moisturizing aftershave balm to soothe and hydrate the skin. Remember to thoroughly rinse and dry your Series 9 shaver after each wet shave, and regularly utilize the cleaning station (9090cc) as described on mcgrp.ru to maintain optimal hygiene and performance.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are vital for preserving the performance and longevity of your Braun Series 9 shaver. After each use, rinse the shaver head under running water to remove hair and shaving residue. Disassemble the shaver head periodically (refer to the manual for specific instructions) to ensure a thorough clean.
Importance of Cleaning: Accumulated debris can diminish shaving efficiency and potentially harbor bacteria. The Braun Clean & Renew system (9090cc) automates this process, cleaning, drying, and lubricating your shaver. Resources like manuall.co.uk highlight the benefits of consistent cleaning station use.
Manual Cleaning: If you prefer manual cleaning, use a mild detergent and a soft brush to gently scrub the shaver head and body. Ensure the shaver is completely dry before storing or charging. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the delicate components. Following the guidelines on mcgrp.ru will help maintain optimal hygiene and ensure a consistently close and comfortable shave.
Using the Cleaning Station (9090cc)
The Braun Clean & Renew station (9090cc) offers a convenient, automated way to clean, lubricate, and charge your Series 9 shaver. Begin by filling the station with the Braun cleaning solution – ensure you use only genuine Braun cartridges for optimal performance. Place the shaver into the station, aligning it correctly with the connector pins.
Cleaning Cycle: Select the appropriate cleaning cycle on the station. The standard cycle cleans, dries, and lubricates. More intensive cycles are available for heavily soiled shavers. The station utilizes a multi-phase process, removing hair, oil, and residue effectively. Resources like manuall.co.uk detail the cycle options.
Maintenance: The cleaning station requires periodic maintenance. Regularly check and refill the cleaning solution. Empty and clean the reservoir as needed, following the instructions in your Braun Series 9 manual. Proper station upkeep, as illustrated on mcgrp.ru, ensures consistent cleaning performance and extends the life of both your shaver and the station itself.
Replacing the Cleaning Cartridge
Maintaining optimal hygiene for your Braun Series 9 shaver requires regular cleaning cartridge replacement in the Clean & Renew station (9090cc). The cartridge contains a specialized cleaning solution that effectively removes shaving residue and lubricates the shaver components. A visual indicator on the station alerts you when a replacement is needed.
Replacement Procedure: Begin by disconnecting the power cord from the cleaning station. Gently lift the lid and remove the used cartridge. A small amount of cleaning solution may remain – dispose of the used cartridge responsibly, following local regulations. Open a new Braun cleaning cartridge and remove the protective seal.
Installation: Insert the new cartridge into the station, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Close the lid and reconnect the power cord. The station will automatically recognize the new cartridge. Refer to resources like manuall.co.uk for visual guidance. Using genuine Braun cartridges, as highlighted on mcgrp.ru, guarantees optimal cleaning performance and protects your shaver’s longevity.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Encountering issues with your Braun Series 9 shaver is infrequent, but this section addresses common problems. Shaver won’t turn on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged or properly connected to the power adapter. Check the power outlet. Poor shaving performance: Clean the shaver head thoroughly, or replace it if worn. Ensure proper shaving technique (see dedicated section).
Cleaning station issues: Verify the cleaning cartridge is correctly installed and not empty. Check the station’s power connection. If the station displays an error, consult the manual or online resources like manuall.co;uk. Irritation or redness: Reduce shaving pressure and consider using a pre-shave balm.
Shaver head not charging: Inspect the charging contacts for debris. If problems persist, contact Braun customer support. Resources on sites like mcgrp.ru may offer additional troubleshooting steps. Always refer to the official Braun documentation for detailed guidance and safety precautions. Avoid attempting repairs yourself, as this may void the warranty.
Replacing the Shaver Head
Braun recommends replacing your Series 9 shaver head approximately every 18 months for optimal performance. A worn shaver head can lead to discomfort and reduced shaving efficiency. Identifying the correct replacement: Ensure you purchase a shaver head specifically designed for your Series 9 model (e.g., 9290cc, 9090cc). Refer to your shaver’s model number for compatibility.
Replacement process: Gently remove the old shaver head by pulling it straight off. Align the new shaver head with the corresponding slots and push it firmly into place until it clicks. Ensure it’s securely attached. Cleaning after replacement: Clean the new shaver head with warm water and a mild cleanser before first use.
Resources like manuall.co.uk may provide visual guides. Proper replacement restores the shaver’s cutting performance. Regularly check the condition of your shaver head and replace it proactively. Ignoring this maintenance can impact your shaving experience. Refer to the official Braun website or documentation for detailed instructions and genuine replacement parts.
Understanding the Series 9 Pro Models
The Braun Series 9 Pro builds upon the original Series 9, offering enhanced features and performance. Key distinctions include a redesigned ProHead with a pivoting neck, adapting to facial contours for better contact. This results in a closer and more comfortable shave, even on tricky areas. The Pro models also boast a 5-in-1 SmartCare Center for cleaning, charging, and lubrication.
Enhanced motor: Series 9 Pro shavers feature a more powerful motor, delivering increased speed and torque. This is particularly beneficial for thicker or denser beards. AutoSense Technology: This intelligent technology adapts the shaving power to your beard density. The Series 9 Pro models often include a precision trimmer for detailing sideburns and mustaches.
Resources like manuall.co.uk can help differentiate specific Pro models (9477cc, 9467cc, etc.). Understanding these upgrades allows you to maximize your shaving experience. Consider your beard type and shaving preferences when choosing a Series 9 Pro model. Refer to Braun’s official website for detailed specifications and comparisons.
Travel Lock Function
The Travel Lock is a crucial feature for preventing accidental activation of your Braun Series 9 shaver during transport. This safeguards battery life and avoids potential damage. Activating the Travel Lock is typically achieved by pressing and holding the power button for a specified duration – usually around three seconds – while the shaver is turned off. A visual indicator, such as a flashing light, confirms activation.
Deactivating the lock is equally straightforward; repeat the same process of pressing and holding the power button. Ensure the shaver is off before attempting to engage or disengage the Travel Lock. This function is particularly useful when packing your shaver in luggage or a travel bag, preventing unintended operation and conserving power.
Consult your specific model’s manual (available on sites like manuall.co.uk or mcgrp.ru) for precise instructions, as the activation process may vary slightly. Always verify the lock is engaged before travel and disengaged before use. Proper use of the Travel Lock extends battery life and protects your investment.
Personalization Settings
The Braun Series 9 offers Personalization Settings designed to tailor your shaving experience. These settings allow you to adjust the shaver’s intensity based on your skin sensitivity and beard density. Many models feature “Sensitive,” “Normal,” and “Turbo” modes, accessible via the control panel. The “Sensitive” mode reduces shaving power for delicate skin, while “Turbo” increases it for thicker beards.
Some Pro models introduce AutoSense Technology, which automatically adapts power to your beard. However, manual overrides are often available for personalized control. Explore the shaver’s display to navigate these options. Remember to experiment to find the settings that best suit your individual needs and preferences.
Refer to your specific model’s manual – resources like manuall.co.uk and mcgrp.ru provide detailed guidance – to understand all available personalization options. Properly utilizing these settings maximizes comfort and shaving efficiency. Consistent use of preferred settings ensures a consistently smooth and irritation-free shave, optimizing your Braun Series 9 experience.
Optimal Shaving Pressure
Achieving a close and comfortable shave with your Braun Series 9 relies heavily on applying Optimal Shaving Pressure. Avoid pressing too hard against your skin, as this can cause irritation and reduce the shaver’s effectiveness. The Series 9 is designed to work efficiently with gentle, gliding motions.
The shaver’s Pressure Sensor, a key feature in many models, guides you. It illuminates when excessive pressure is applied, prompting you to lighten your touch. Ignoring this signal can lead to skin redness and discomfort. A light, consistent pressure allows the shaver’s five synchronized shaving elements to adapt to your facial contours.
For best results, hold the shaver at a slight angle and move it against the grain of your beard. Resources like manuall.co.uk and mcgrp.ru offer visual demonstrations of proper technique. Mastering optimal pressure minimizes irritation and maximizes the shaver’s ability to capture hairs, delivering a consistently smooth and comfortable shave. Remember, less is often more when it comes to pressure.
