The Braun Series 9 shaver, model 9320s (Type 5792), is a high-quality electric shaver designed for a close and comfortable shave. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its safe and effective use, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Function Description
The Braun Series 9 shaver is primarily designed for dry shaving, offering a cordless operation for up to 60 minutes on a full charge. It features a sophisticated shaving system with a Foil & Cutter cassette (1) that adapts to facial contours for efficient hair removal. The shaver is equipped with a Multi Head Lock switch (3) which allows the shaver head to be locked in five different positions, making it easier to shave hard-to-reach areas like under the nose. For precise grooming, a precision trimmer (6) is integrated, ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches, or beards.
The shaver's operation is managed via an On/off button (4) and a Shaver display (5) that provides essential information. The display includes a battery status indicator (5c) with segments and, on some models, a digital number (5d) showing remaining shaving time in minutes. A plug reminder (5f) flashes when the battery is low, indicating approximately 5 minutes of shaving time left. The shaver can also be used while connected to the power supply (10). For travel, a travel lock feature (5a) prevents unintended activation, indicated by a lock icon on the display. A replacement indicator for the Foil & Cutter cassette (5b) reminds users when it's time to replace the shaving head for optimal performance. Some models also feature a cleaning indicator (5e) that lights up after each shave, prompting cleaning with a Clean & Charge Station (if applicable).
The shaver is powered by a lithium-ion battery and can be charged by connecting the power supply (10) directly to the shaver's power socket (9) or by placing it in the charging stand (10a). The power supply is an integrated transformer (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and should not be tampered with. The appliance is suitable for cleaning under running tap water, but it must be detached from the power supply before water cleaning.
Usage Features
To operate the shaver, simply press the On/off button (4). For optimal dry shaving, it is recommended to use the shaver on dry skin before washing. Users should position the shaver at a right angle (90°) to their skin, gently stretch the skin with one hand, and shave against the direction of beard growth.
The Multi Head Lock switch (3) is a key feature for precision. By sliding it down, the shaver head can be locked in one of five positions. To change the angle, users can manually move the shaver head with their thumb and forefinger.
The precision trimmer (6) is activated by pressing the release button (8) and sliding the trimmer upwards. This allows for detailed styling and trimming.
The travel lock feature is engaged by pressing and holding the On/off button (4) for 5 seconds. A beep sound confirms activation, and the travel lock icon (5a) appears on the display. To unlock, the process is repeated.
The Foil & Cutter cassette (1) should be replaced when the replacement indicator (5b) lights up to maintain 100% shaving performance. To remove the cassette, press the cassette release buttons (2). After replacement, the counter can be reset by pressing the On/off button (4) for 10 seconds. On some models, the indicator resets automatically after 7 shaves.
Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the shaver's performance and hygiene. The shaver is designed for easy cleaning under running tap water. To clean, switch on the shaver (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues are removed. Liquid soap without abrasive substances can be used. After rinsing, let the shaver run for a few more seconds to shake off excess water. Then, switch off the shaver, press the cassette release buttons (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), and allow it to dry. If cleaning with water regularly, applying a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette once a week is recommended to ensure smooth operation.
For cleaning with a brush, first switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface to dislodge hair clippings. Use the provided brush to clean the inner area of the pivoting head. It is important not to clean the Foil & Cutter cassette with the brush, as this can damage it.
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as the shaver not starting, charging problems, unpleasant smells, or reduced battery/shaving performance. These often involve checking the travel lock, ambient temperature, power supply connection, or replacing/lubricating the Foil & Cutter cassette.
For disposal, the product contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Users are instructed not to dispose of it with household waste but to take it to designated electric waste collection points. Before disposal, the battery should be fully discharged and removed according to the detailed instructions provided in the manual, which includes using specific tools and taking precautions against liquid leakage. The removed battery should be insulated with tape and taken to a small secondary battery recycling facility.
