The Braun Series 9 Pro is a sophisticated electric shaver designed for a precise and comfortable shaving experience. It incorporates advanced features for optimal performance, ease of use, and convenient maintenance.
Function Description
The core function of the Braun Series 9 Pro is to provide an efficient and close shave. It achieves this through its specialized foil and cutter cassette (94M), which is designed to capture and cut hair effectively. For enhanced performance, the device can be used with the ProCare head (94HY), which is a magnetic kinetic energy input head. This head helps to evenly apply face cream, ensuring it is fully absorbed, and can be used in conjunction with other skincare products by repeating the pressing and sliding motion for 2-3 seconds.
The shaver is equipped with a multi-head lock, allowing the user to secure the shaver head for a precise shave, particularly useful for difficult areas. A long hair trimmer is integrated into the design, which can be released via a dedicated button, for styling and trimming longer hairs.
Powering the device is straightforward, with an on/off button for operation. The shaver can be charged directly via a power socket using the provided power supply, or through a charging stand. For travel and on-the-go charging, a PowerCase is available, which also serves as a protective travel case. The device is designed for cordless operation, especially when used with water for cleaning or shaving in the shower.
Usage Features
The Braun Series 9 Pro offers several features to enhance the user experience:
- Display: A clear display provides essential information to the user. This includes a foil replacement indicator, which alerts the user when the foil and cutter cassette needs to be changed (recommended every 18 months). A travel lock indicator shows when the device is locked, preventing accidental activation during travel. A cleaning station indicator signals when the shaver needs to be cleaned using the cleaning station. A low charge/cordless use indicator informs the user about the battery status and when the device is operating wirelessly. Finally, a battery indicator with status bars and remaining minutes (up to 9 minutes and below) provides a precise overview of the battery level.
- Charging: The shaver can be charged in various ways: directly by plugging the power supply into the shaver's power socket, by placing it on the charging stand, or by storing it in the PowerCase. A full charge takes approximately 1 hour, providing 100% battery. The display shows the charging progress, from 0% to 100%. A quick 5-minute charge can provide enough power for one shave. The low charge indicator will flash when the battery is critically low, and the device will stop working when the battery is completely depleted.
- Shaving Technique: For optimal results, it is recommended to shave against the direction of hair growth. The multi-head lock can be engaged to fix the shaver head at a specific angle (0°, 10°, or 20°), allowing for precise control and adaptation to facial contours. The long hair trimmer can be used by sliding it up to trim longer hairs before a close shave or for styling.
- Travel Lock: To prevent accidental activation during travel, the shaver features a travel lock. This can be engaged by pressing and holding the on/off button for 3 seconds. The travel lock indicator will appear on the display. To unlock, simply press and hold the on/off button again for 3 seconds.
- Foil Replacement: The display will indicate when the foil and cutter cassette needs to be replaced. To replace, press the cassette release buttons on the sides of the shaver head, remove the old cassette, and snap in a new one. This ensures continued optimal shaving performance.
Maintenance Features
Maintaining the Braun Series 9 Pro is designed to be simple and hygienic:
- Cleaning under running water: The shaver is suitable for cleaning under running water. After each use with foam or gel, the shaver head should be rinsed thoroughly with hot water while the shaver is switched on, until all residues are removed. The hand-held part can also be cleaned under running water. For safety, the shaver must be detached from the power supply before cleaning with water.
- Cleaning with soap: The shaver head can be cleaned using liquid soap. Apply soap to the shaver head, switch on the shaver, and rinse under running water.
- Deep Cleaning with Cleaning Station: For a more thorough and hygienic cleaning, the shaver can be placed in the cleaning station (10). The cleaning station uses a specialized cleaning fluid to clean, lubricate, and dry the shaver head. The cleaning station indicator on the shaver's display will prompt the user when cleaning is needed.
- Manual Cleaning: For manual cleaning, the foil and cutter cassette can be removed. Use a brush to clean the inner parts of the shaver head and the trimmer. The cassette itself can be rinsed under water. It is important not to use the brush on the foil itself, as this can damage it.
- Lubrication: Occasionally, a drop of light machine oil (not self-supplied) can be applied to the shaver head to maintain its performance.
- Drying: After cleaning, ensure the shaver head is dry. If using the ProCare head, keep it in a dry state when not in use.
- Battery Disposal: At the end of the product's lifespan, the rechargeable battery should be removed for proper disposal. Instructions are provided for safe removal, emphasizing the need to wear protective gear (gloves, eye protection) to avoid contact with battery leakage and to insulate the positive and negative terminals with tape before placing the battery in a plastic bag. Alternatively, the shaver can be taken to an authorized Braun Service center for battery removal and environmentally friendly disposal.
- Storage: Store the shaver and its accessories (power supply, charging stand, PowerCase, and cleaning station) in a dry environment. The recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 35°C. Avoid exposing the appliance to temperatures above 50°C for extended periods.
The Braun Series 9 Pro is designed for personal hygiene and should not be shared with others. It contains rechargeable batteries and/or recyclable electronic components, and should be disposed of at designated collection points to protect the environment.
