Keeping your Braun Silk·épil
in top shape
• The shaving parts need to be
lubricated regularly every 3 months (F).
If you clean the shaver head under
running water, lubricate it after each
cleaning.
Apply some light machine oil or
vaseline to the shaver foil and the
metal parts of the long hair trimmer.
Then remove the shaver head and also
apply a tiny amount of vaseline as
shown in picture section (F).
• The shaver foil and the cutter block are
precision parts that wear out with time.
To maintain optimum shaving perform-
ance, replace your foil and cutter block
when you notice a reduced shaving
performance.
• Do not shave with a damaged foil or
cord.

higher than 50 °C for extended periods of
